In a crash test, a truck with mass 2100 kg traveling at 22 m/s smashes head-on into a concrete wall without rebounding. The fron

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

a) 11 m/s

b) 0.0564 s

Explanation:

Given:

m = 2100 kg

vi = 22 ..... m/s before collision

vf = 0 ......after collision to stop

Δs = 0.62 distance traveled after collision .. crumpling of truck

Part a

$V_{avg} = \frac{vi- vf}{2}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{22- 0}{2}\\\\ V_{avg} = 11 m/s$

Part b

$vf = vi + a*t\\vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*s\\\\0 = 22 + a*t\\t = -22 /a\\\\0 = 484 +2*a*(0.62)\\a = - 390.3232 m/s^2\\\\t = -22/(-390.3232)\\\\t = 0.0564 s$

How does deforestation contribute to the greenhouse effect?

bija089 [108]

There are two main effects of deforestation on global warming: 1) the "slash and burn" technique used to clear the forest releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and 2) destruction of living trees reduces the amount of photosynthesis, a process that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it in the plants as carbon. Carbon dioxide is one of the major gases contributing to global warming, and increasing its concentration will affect the amount of warming that occurs.

an object weighting 100g is thrown upwards from the ground at a speed of 100 m/s.where will the potential energy of the object b

Kay [80]

Answer:

333.3 m

Explanation:

Given

$m =100g\ =\ 0.1kg\\v = 100 m/s\\g = 10 m/s ^2$

Potential energy = $\frac{2}{3}\ of\ Kinetic\ energy$ ......Equation(1)

We know that

Potential energy=mgh

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

Now From the Equation(1)

$mgh=\frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}\\ gh=\frac{v^{2} }{3} \\10 * h=\ \frac{10000}{3}\\ h=\ \frac{1000}{3} \\h=333.3\ m$

A boy rides a sled down a steep, snow.covered hill. Which of

Travka [436]

Answer:

a. Potential energy decreases and Kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

Because as he comes down due to its steepness the speed of the boy or you can say his KE increases and since he comes from a high position (hill) to the lower ground his potential energy decreases simultaneously
