During a crash test, two identical cars crash into two different barriers. Both cars are initially traveling at the same constan

t velocity. Car A crashes into a solid brick wall and decelerates to v = 0.0m/s over a distance dA = 10.0cm. Car B crashes into a row of shrubs and decelerates to v = 0.0m/s over a distance dB = 10.0m. During the collision Car A experiences an average force FA and Car B experiences and average force FB. What is the ratio FA/FB?

Answer:

FA / FB = 100

Explanation:

given two identical cars

let their initial speed be U m/s

for car 1 let it deaccelerates with a1

0 = U² - 2*a1*(10cm)

a1 = U² / (2*(0.1))

car2 deaccelerates with a2

0 = U² - 2*a2*(10)

a2 = U² / (2*(10))

FA = m*a1  

FB = m*a2

FA/FB = a1 / a2

= 10/0.1

= 100

FA/FB = 100

True or false? All waves need a medium in order to travel
Art [367]
That's false.  Mechanical waves (like sound and ocean waves) do
need a medium to travel in, but electromagnetic waves (like radio
and light) don't.

How will heat flow between objects?
alukav5142 [94]
Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s towards an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling on the opposite direction on t
vladimir1956 [14]
Mass of yellow train, my = 100 kg

Initial Velocity of yellow train, = 8 m/s

mass of orange train = 200 kg

Initial Velocity of orange train = -1 m/s (since it moves opposite direction to the yellow train, we will put negative to show the opposite direction)

To calculate the initial momentum of both trains, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum which

The sum of initial momentum = the sum of final momentum


Since the question only wants the sum of initial momentum,

(100)(8) + (200)(-1) = 600 m/s
