Work done = 0.5*m*[(v2)^2 - (v1)^2]
where m is mass,
v2 and v1 are the velocities.

Given that m = 1.50 x 10^3 kg, v2 = -15 m/s (decelerates), v1 = 25 kg,

Work done = 0.5 * 1.50 x 10^3 * ((-15)^2 - 25^2) = 3 x 10^5 joules

Just ignore the negative value for the final result because work is a scalar quantity.

What causes resistance in an electric current? how is resistance measured

steposvetlana [31]

resistance is measured by ohms and when electrons move through a conductor they collide with ions in the material which produces resistance hope this helps

I what is the resistance of

Lynna [10]

The resistance of a conductor is given by:
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$
where
$\rho$ is the resistivity of the material
L is the length of the conductor
A is its cross-sectional area

We can use this formula to solve both parts of the problem.

a) The length of the copper wire is L=1.0 m. Its diameter is d=0.50 mm, so its radius is
$r= \frac{d}{2}=0.25 mm=0.25 \cdot 10^{-3} m$
And its cross-sectional area is
$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.25 \cdot 10^{-3}m)^2 = 1.96 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2$
The copper resistivity is $\rho=1.68 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m$ , therefore the resistance of this piece of wire is
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}= \frac{(1.68 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m)(1.0 m)}{1.96 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2}= 8.57 \cdot 10^{-2} \Omega$

b) The length of this piece of iron is L=10 cm=0.10 m. Its cross-sectional size is L=1.0 mm=0.001 m, so its cross-sectional area is
$A=L^2 = (0.001 m)^2 =1 \cdot 10^{-6}m^2$
The iron resistivity is $\rho = 9.71 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m$ , therefore the resistance of this piece of wire is
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}= \frac{(9.71 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m)(0.10 m)}{1.0 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=9.71 \cdot 10^{-3} \Omega$

Describe all the ways that newtons laws can apply in a car crash

Harman [31]

Newtons first law - Objects in the car at rest (The human) will remain at rest unless affected by an unbalanced force. Well the unbalanced force would be the crash and this would set the human in motion and they would ether fly out the car if not wearing a seat belt or if wearing one they would get bad whip lash

Newtons second law - With more mass requires more force, so since the human is pretty light or even if heavy in a big crash there will be so much more from it that this will send the human flying.

Newtons 3rd law - Objects A puts force onto objects b and object b excretes the same amount of force back onto object a, so in a crash the human would hit the car hard and the car would excrete the same amount of force back on the human which would really damage him/her
