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

Answer:

the answer is B

Explanation:

the law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. action and reaction forces always act on two two different bodies and therefore THEY ALWAYS EXIST IN PAIRS.

If you have two objects on the edge of a cliff, how can you determine which one has the most potential energy?
True [87]

Answer: now take this with a grain of salt because I'm in middle school but I think that the more massive object has more potential energy.

shepuryov [24]
When a circuit is complete, or closed, electrons can flow from one end of a battery all the way around, through the wires, to the other end of the battery. Along its way, it will carry electrons to electrical objects that are connected to it – like the light bulb – and make them work!

A moving particle is subject to conservative forces only. When its kinetic energy decreases by 10 J, what happens to its mechani
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Its mechanical energy is the same.

Explanation:

If forces are only conservative, the mechanical energy will be the same.

It can be different if energy get transformed in another kind of energy like elastic energy for example, although the amount of energy is always the same.

If we just have mechanical energy not geting transformed we have:

Em=K+U

Em: Mechanical energy

K: Kinetic energý

U: Potential energy

Then if Kinetic energy decreases 10J, Potential energy will grow up 10J to keep the same amount of mechanical energy.
