To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is moving at 7.69 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on col

lision. Each driver has mass 82.6 kg. The total vehicle masses are 810 kg for the car and 4280 kg for the truck. Note that these values include the masses of the drivers. If the collision time is 0.129 s, (a) what force does the seat belt exert on the truck driver?

Answer:

Force(F) = -80,955.01 N

Explanation:

We need to first determine the impulse that the truck driver received from the car during the collision

So; m₁v₁ - m₂v₂ = (m₁m₂)v₀

where;

m₁ = mass of the truck = 4280 kg

v₁ = v₂ =  speed of the each vehicle = 7.69 m/s

m₂ = mass of the car = 810 kg

Substituting our data; we have:

(4280×7.69) - (810×7.69) = (4280+810)v₀

32913.2 - 6228.9 = (5090)v₀

26684.1 =  (5090)v₀

v₀ = \frac{26684.1}{5090}

v₀ = 5.25 m/s

NOW, Impulse on the truck = m (v₀ - v)

= 4280 × (5.25 - 7.69)

= 4280 ×  (-2.44)

= -10,443.2 kg. m/s

Force that the seat belt exert on the truck driver can be calculated as:

Impulse = Force × Time

-10,443.2 kg. m/s = F (0.129)

F = \frac{-10,443.2}{0.129}

Force(F) = -80,955.01 N

Thus, the Force that the seat belt exert on the truck driver = -80,955.01 N

Bullets from two revolvers are fired with the same velocity. The bullet from gun #1 is twice as heavy as the bullet from gun #2.
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

Let mass of the bullet be m and velocity be v

mass of gun be M and bullet be V

now,

using conservation of momentum for gun 1

(M+m) V' = 2 mv + 3 MV

V' = 0

3 M V = - 2 mv

momentum of gun 1 =- 2 mv---------(1)

now for gun 2

(M+m) V' = mv + MV

V' = 0

M V = - mv

momentum of gun 1 = -mv-----------(2)

dividing equation (1) by (2)

\dfrac{P_m1}{P_m2} = \dfrac{- 2mv}{-mv}

\dfrac{P_m1}{P_m2} = \dfrac{2}{1}

the correct answer is option C

Which tool would you use to measure the amount of rainfall? a. graduated cylinder b. stopwatch c. scale d. thermometer
Fittoniya [83]

A graduated cylinder measures the volume of a liquid.

A stopwatch measures the amount of time that elapses.

A scale measures the mass of objects.

A thermometer measures the temperature of any object.

Because we are measuring rain, a liquid, we would want to use a tool that would allow us to collect the rain for measuring. Therefore, the tool e would use to measure the amount of rainfall would be A. a graduated cylinder.
