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

A child throws a ball with an initial speed of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. The ball leaves her hand 1.00
vivado [14]

Answer:

7.5 m

Explanation:

v = initial speed of the ball = 8 m/s

\theta = angle of launch = 40° deg

Consider the motion along the vertical direction :

v_{oy} = initial velocity along vertical direction = v Sin\theta = 8 Sin40 = 5.14 m/s

a_{y} = acceleration along vertical direction = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel

y = vertical displacement = - 1 m

Using the kinematics equation

y = v_{oy}t + (0.5)a_{y}t^{2}

- 1 = (5.14)t + (0.5)(- 9.8)t^{2

t = 1.22 sec

Consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

v_{ox} = initial velocity along horizontal direction = v Sin\theta = 8 Cos40 = 6.13 m/s

a_{x} = acceleration along vertical direction = 0 m/s²

t = time of travel = 1.22 sec

x = horizontal displacement = ?

Using the kinematics equation

x = v_{ox}t + (0.5)a_{x}t^{2}

x = (6.13)(1.22) + (0.5)(0)(1.22)^{2

x = 7.5 m
