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

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Wmoon = 131 [N]

Explanation:

We know that the weight of a body is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

Since we are told that the gravitational acceleration of the moon is equal to one-sixth of the acceleration of Earth's gravitation. Then we must multiply the value of Earth's gravitation by one-sixth.

w_{moon}=\frac{1}{6} *m*g\\w_{moon}=\frac{1}{6} *80*9.81\\w_{moon}=130.8 [N] = 131 [N]

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The  magnitude of F1 is

|F1|=358.74 \ N

The magnitude of F2 is

|F2|=179.37\ N

And the direction of F2 is

\alpha = 44.214^o

Explanation:

<u>Net Force </u>

Forces are represented as vectors since they have magnitude and direction. The diagram of forces is shown in the figure below.  

The larger pull F1 is directed 21° west of north and is represented with the blue arrow. The other pull F2 is directed to an unspecified direction (red arrow). Since the resultant Ft (black arrow) is pointed North, the second force must be in the first quadrant. We must find out the magnitude and angle of this force.  

Following the diagram, the sum of the vector components in the x-axis of F1 and F2 must be zero:

\displaystyle -2F\ sin21^o+F\ cos\alpha =0

The sum of the vertical components of F1 and F2 must equal the total force Ft

\displaystyle -2F\ cos21^o+F\ sin\alpha =460

Solving for \alpha in the first equation

\displaystyle cos\alpha =\frac{2F\ sin21^o}{F}=2sin21^o

\displaystyle cos\alpha =0.717=>\alpha =44.214^o

\displaystyle F(2cos21^o+sin\alpha)=460

\displaystyle F=\frac{460}{2cos21^o+sin\alpha}

\displaystyle F=\frac{460}{2cos21^o+sin44.214^o}

\displaystyle F=179.37\ N

The  magnitude of F1 is

|F1|=2*F=358.74 \ N

The magnitude of F2 is

|F2|=179.37\ N

And the direction of F2 is

\alpha = 44.214^o
