A test car is driving toward a solid crash-test barrier with a speed of 46 mi/h. Two seconds prior to impact, the car begins to

brake, but it is still moving when it hits the wall. After the collision with the wall, the car crumples somewhat and comes to a complete stop. In order to estimate the average force exerted by the wall on the car, what information would you need to collect?

Answer:

we have to measure distances and time, possibly with an automated system since the values ​​are very small

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the relationship between momentum and momentum

        I = ∫ F dt = Δp

        F t = m v_{f} - mv₀

In the exercise they indicate that the final speed is zero

         F t = - m v₀

         F = -m v₀ / t

With this equation we can find what measurements should be carried out.

To find the speed with which the car collides with the wall, less measure the displacement and its time during the braking process before reaching the wall and from here find the speed with which it reaches the wall.

During the impact, we must find the time that the vehicle is in contact with the wall in the first approach is equal to the time that the car takes to reach the final speed of zero.

In summary we have to measure distances and time, possibly with an automated system since the values ​​are very small

The answer would be “B” because humans would need water, protection from radiation so we don’t melt or burn to death lol, and a gaseous atmosphere because we would need oxygen.

Which of the following involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration? a. melting of a solid b. evaporatio
Mama L [17]

Explanation:

Since, entropy is the measure of degree of randomness. So, more randomly the molecules of a substance are moving more will be its entropy.

  • For example, when a solid melts then it means heat is absorbed by it due to which its molecules have gained energy. As a result, they collide with each other and hence, entropy will increase.
  • Evaporation of a liquid will also cause the liquid to change its state from liquid to gas. This means molecules will go far away from each other leading to an increase in the entropy.
  • Sublimation is a process of conversion of a solid into gaseous phase without going through liquid phase. So, in this case also entropy will increase due to gain in energy by the molecules of a solid.
  • In freezing, molecules of a substance come closer to each other and acquire less energy. Hence, entropy decreases.
  • Mixing is a process of combining two or more substances physically with each other. This leads to increase in entropy of a substance.
  • In separation molecules are separated from each other leading to a decrease in energy. Hence, entropy will also decrease.
  • Diffusion is a process in which molecules are able to rapidly move from one place to another. Hence, entropy increases when diffusion takes place.

Thus, we can conclude that melting of a solid, evaporation of a liquid, sublimation, mixing and diffusion involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration.

initially, a bowl holds 15 m^3 of water. an object is dropped into the bowl and the new volume of the water is 25 m^3. what is t
marusya05 [52]

Explanation:

The new volume of water = 25 ml

The old volume of water = 15 ml

The difference = 25 - 15 but what are the units?

Since the question asks for force, the units must start out as 10 mL

In water 1 mL has a mass of 1 gram, so the answer is 10 grams.

Grams are units of mass, not weight. You should convert this into newtons.

10 grams = 1/1000 = 0.01 kg

1 kg has a weight of 9.81 Newtons

0.01 kg has a weight 0.081 Newtons

If you have never seen a Newton before, then the answer is 10 grams
