A family car has a mass of 1400 kg. In an accident it hits a wall and goes from a speed of 27 m/s to a standstill in 1.5 seconds

. By how much would the force have been reduced if the car had had a crumple zone that increased the collision time to 2.2 seconds? Give your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

The force has been reduced by 8018 N

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the car during the crash is equal to the product of the force exerted and the duration of the collision, and it is also equal to the change in momentum of the car. So we can write:

F\Delta t = m\Delta v

where:

F is the force exerted on the car

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

m = 1400 kg is the mass of the car

\Delta  v=-27 m/s is the change in velocity of the car

We can re-write the equation as

F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}

In the 1st collision, the time is 1.5 seconds, so the force is

F_1=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{1.5}=-25,200 N

In the 2nd collision, the time is increased to 2.2 seconds, so the force is

F_2=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{2.2}=-17,182 N

Therefore, the force has been reduced by:

F_2-F_1=-17,182-(-25,200)=8018 N

Consider the following True/False statements:
Ainat [17]

Answer:

6) False

7) True

8) False

9) False

10) False

11) True

12) True

13) True

14) True

Explanation:

The spacing between two energy levels in an atom shows the energy difference between them. Clearly, B has a greater value of ∆E compared to A. This implies that the wavelength emitted by B is greater than A while B will emit fewer, more energetic photons.

When atoms jump from lower to higher energy levels, photons are absorbed. The kinetic energy of the incident photon determines the frequency, wavelength and colour of light emitted by the atom.

The energy level to which an atom is excited is determined by the kinetic energy of the incident electron. As the voltage increases, the kinetic energy of the electron increases, the further the atom is from the source of free electrons, the greater the required kinetic energy of free electron. When electrons are excited to higher energy levels, they must return to ground state.

While performing an experiment, the student creating the data table is not sure if a measurement from the experiment is a vector
marin [14]

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand both scalar and vector .

A scalar quantity is a physical quantity which has only magnitude for it's complete specification.

A vector quantity is that physical quantity which not only requires magnitude but also possesses direction for it's complete specification.

So the most important factor that differentiate vector from scalar is the direction.

As per the question the student is doing an experiment where he is recording the data obtained during the process.

In order to arrange them in data table, he should ask about the direction of the quantity under consideration.


Hence the correct option is the third option(C)i.e does the measurement include direction?
