An initially motionless test car is accelerated uniformly to 115 km/h in 8.83 seconds before striking a simulated deer. The car

is in contact with the faux fawn for 0.995 seconds, after which the car is measured to be traveling at 60.0 km/h. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car before the collision?

We know the equation of motion v = u+ at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

In this case Final velocity before collision = 115 km/hr = 115*5/18 = 31.94 m/s

Time taken by car to reach this velocity = 8.83 seconds

Initial velocity = 0 m/s

v = u +at

31.94 = 0 + a*8.83

a = 3.62 m/s^2

So acceleration of car just before collision = 3.62 m/s^2

Ann (mass 50 kg) is standing at the left end of a 15-m-long, 500 kg cart that has frictionless wheels and rolls on a frictionles
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

13.5 m

Explanation:

M = Mass of cart = 500 kg

m = Ann's mass = 50 kg

v_m = Velocity of Ann relative to cart = 5 m/s

v_M = Velocity of Cart relative to Ann

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

Mv_M+mv_m=0\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{mv_m}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{50\times 5}{500}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-0.5\ m/s

Time taken to reach the right end by Ann

Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}\\\Rightarrow Time=\frac{15}{5}=3\ s

Distance the cart will move in the 3 seconds

Distance=Speed\times Time\\\Rightarrow Distance=-0.5\times 3=-1.5\ m

The negative sign indicates opposite direction

Movement of Ann will be the sum of the distances

15+(-1.5)=13.5\ m

The net movement of Ann is 13.5 m

Which has more gravitaatoinal potental energy: a bird on the ground or the same bird in the tree? why?
julsineya [31]
The same bird on the tree has more gravitational potential energy. This is because it is at a higher distance from the ground as it is on the tree, than when it is on the ground.

Considering also the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy GPE = mgh

For the bird on the ground, h =0,  therefore GPE = m*9.8*0 = 0

For that on the tree = mgh = m*9.8*h

Of course the one on the tree has a value greater than zero.
