A car of m = 1200. kg collides with a tree while traveling 60.0 mph. The collision occurs over a time period of 0.0500 seconds.

Determine the magnitude of the force exerted on the car as it comes to rest during the collision. (1 m/s = 2.24 mph) DOK 2

Answer:

Force, F = 38.4 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1200 kg

Initial velocity of the car, u = 60 m/h = 0.016 m/s

The collision occurs over a time period of 0.0500 seconds.

Force, F = m a

F=1200\ kg\times \dfrac{0-0.0016\ m/s}{0.05\ s}

F = -38.4 N

The magnitude of the force exerted on the car as it comes to rest during the collision is 38.4 N

You may know linear momentum is given by P= mass.velocity. Initially car is moving with some velocity so you know initial momentum of the car. Finally it comes to rest i.e final momentum of the car is 0. According to Newton's second law : Force = change in momentum /time. Applying this you'll get answer as 642840N. Hope it helped you. Revert back to me if you have any questions. Please check out the calculation it might be wrong!

Starting at t = 0 s , a horizontal net force F⃗ =( 0.285 N/s )ti^+(-0.460 N/s2 )t2j^ is applied to a box that has an initial mom
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that Impulse = force x time

impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum = force x time

Force F = .285 t -.46t²

Since force is variable

change in momentum = ∫ F dt  where F is force

= ∫ .285ti - .46t²j dt

= .285 t² / 2i - .46 t³ / 3 j

When t = 1.9

change in momentum = .285 x 1.9² /2 i  -  .46 x 1.9³ / 3 j

= .514i - 1.05 j

final momentum

= - 3.1 i + 3.9j +.514i - 1.05j

= - 2.586 i + 2.85j

x component = - 2.586

y component = 2.85

Suppose that a steel bridge, 1000 m long, were built without any expansion joints. Suppose that only one end of the bridge was h
Stels [109]

Answer:

The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 1000 m

Winter temperature = 0°C

Summer temperature = 40°C

Coefficient of thermal expansion \alpha= 10.5\times10^{-6}\ K^{-1}

We need to calculate the difference in the length of the bridge

Using formula of the difference in the length

\Delta L=L\alpha\Delta T

Where, \Delta T= temperature difference

\alpha=Coefficient of thermal expansion

L= length

Put the value into the formula

\Delta L=1000\times10.5\times10^{-6}(40^{\circ}-0^{\circ})

\Delta L=0.42\ m

Hence, The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

585×10⁸ m

Explanation:

Distance = rate × time

d = (2.998×10⁸ m/s) (3.25 min) (60 s/min)

d = 585×10⁸ m

How does the carbon rod of a cell beomes a positive<br>terminal?​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

In the middle of a dry cell, is a rod made of carbon. Around the carbon rod is a chemical paste. At the same time, the carbon rod becomes positively charged. When this happens, electrical current flows out of the cell when a conductor is attached between the cell's positive and negative terminals.

Based on the information in the table, which two elements are most likely in the same group, and why?
velikii [3]

Answer: bismuth and nitrogen, because they have the same number of valence electrons

Explanation:

Elements are distributed in groups and periods in a periodic table.

Elements that belong to same groups will show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons.

The number of valence electrons in Bismuth and nitrogen are 5 and thus thus they will show similar chemical properties and thus belong to the same group.

The atomic masses of elements in a group will differ drastically.

The group number has got nothing to be the isolation year.

Thus bismuth and nitrogen belong to same group because they have the same number of valence electrons
