If an automobile moving at high speed suddenly comes to a stop, you would have a large change in momentum. This relates to Newton's second law in the form F = delta p / delta t, where p is momentum (mv).
You could lessen the effect of the sudden stop on the passengers by changing the average force exerted on them. If you look at Newton's second law again, you can see that given some delta p, you can decrease F by increasing delta t. What this means is that if you increase the length of time over which the change in momentum occurs, you can decrease the average force exerted to obtain that change in momentum. This is the reason why landing on a soft cushion is preferable to landing on a concrete surface. The cushion gives way to any object falling on it while still providing some resistance (you don't stop as abruptly), so while your change in momentum is the same in both cases, you have a larger delta t in the case of the cushion.

Explain how a book can have energy even if it is not moving.
frutty [35]
Can something have energy even if it's not moving?
All moving objects have kinetic energy. When an object is in motion, it changes its position by moving in a direction: up, down, forward, or backward. ... Potential energy is stored energy. Even when an object is sitting still, it has energy stored inside that can be turned into kinetic energy (motion).


Does a book at rest have energy?
A World Civilization book at rest on the top shelf of a locker possesses mechanical energy due to its vertical position above the ground (gravitational potential energy).



Does a book lying on a table have energy?
The book lying on a desk has potential energy; the book falling off a desk has kinetic energy.

An internal combustion engine does 356 kJ of useful work using 946 kJ of thermal energy from the gasoline consumed in the engine
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The efficiency of this engine is 37.63 %.

Explanation:

Given;

useful output work done by the combustion engine, = 356 kJ

input work, = 946 kJ

The efficiency of the combustion engine is calculated as;

Efficiency = \frac{0utput \ work}{1nput \ work} \times 100\%\\\\Efficiency = \frac{356 \ \times \ 10^3}{946 \ \times \ 10^3} \times 100\%\\\\Efficiency = 37.63 \ \%

Therefore, the efficiency of this engine is 37.63 %.
