How does inertia affect collisions between cars?

Physics
1 answer:
yarga [219]3 years ago
3 0
Inertia is an object's resistance to change in motion. In other words the difficulty in moving an object or stopping it from moving. A heavier car has more inertia than a lighter car because it's harder to move. A faster car has more inertia than a slower one with equal mass because it's harder to get it to stop. 
So the more inertia a car has, the more dangerous it is in a collision.

Answer:

v = 2.974

Explanation:

Perhaps the formula should be

v = √(2*g*d (sin(θ) - uk*cos(θ) )                    This is a bit easier to read.

v = √(2* 9.80*0.725(0.707 - 0.12*0.707) )   Substitute values. Find 2*g*d

v = √14.21 * (0.707 - 0.0849)                        Figure out Sin(θ) - uk cos(θ)  

v = √14.21 * (0.6222)

v = √8.8422                                                  Take the square root of the value

v = 2.974

An object with a mass of 5kg accelerates at 2m/s2. How much force in Newtons(N) is needed to cause this to happen??
Reptile [31]

Answer: The formula of Newtons second law of motion is F=MA so therefore it would be written like this Force = Mass X Acceleration

F = 5 x 2

F = 10 N

Which career is most concerned with the study of radioactive isotopes?
leonid [27]
<span>The career that is most concerned with the study of radioactive isotopes is chemistry. You need to have passed AP chemistry to actually deal with the isotopes. In a quick reference, isotopes are when the atom has difference amount of neutrons, making the atomic mass differ.</span>
