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

t end crumples so much that the truck is 0.62 m shorter than before.
(a) What is the average speed of the truck during the collision (that is, during the interval between first contact with the wall and coming to a stop)?

vavg = ______ m/s



(b) About how long does the collision last? (That is, how long is the interval between first contact with the wall and coming to a stop?)

Δt = ______ s



(c) What is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the wall on the truck during the collision?

Fwall, avg = ______ N



(d) It is interesting to compare this force to the weight of the truck. Calculate the ratio of the force of the wall to the gravitational force mg on the truck. This large ratio shows why a collision is so damaging.

Fwall, avg / mg =


(e) What approximations were necessary in making this analysis? (Select all that apply.)

Neglect the horizontal component of the force of the road on the truck tires.

Assume a nearly constant force exerted by the wall, so the speed changes at a nearly constant rate.

The deceleration of the truck is approximately equal to g.

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

Answer:

a) average speed = 11m/s

b) time = 0.056secs

c) Magnitude force = 825000N

d) ratio = 40.05

e) Assumptions ; g = 9.81m/s square

Explanation:

Given the following parameters;

  • mass = 2100kg
  • Vi (initial velocity) = 22m/s
  • distance = 0.62m
  • Vf ( final velocity) = 0

a) average speed = final velocity + initial velocity / 2

Vavg = 22 + 0 / 2 = 11m/s

b) how long does the collision last, i.e the time taken,

from average speed = distance / time

time = distance / average speed

t = 0.62m/11m/s

t = 0.056secs

c) Magnitude of average force

from Favg = ma

but a = v/t

Favg = mv/t = 2100 x 22 / 0.056

Average force = 825000N

d) ratio of force to the gravitational force(mg) = (Fwall)avg/mg

= 825000/2100x9.81

=  40.05

What is the source of geothermal energy? User: What is the source of geothermal energy?
bazaltina [42]

The answer is; C

In particular points in the earth’s surface, underground water is naturally heated to steam that can be harness for geothermal energy. The steam that ejects from the ground with high kinetic energy can be used to turn turbines that generate electricity. The underground water is usually heated by the hot rocks beneath that are subjected to the immense heat of magma or the enormous pressure of overlying crust.

THIS IS A SCIENCE QUESTION IF THESE ARNT ANSWERED IM GOING TO FAIL SCIENCE
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

1.a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.

2.The Eye of a Hurricane. The eye is the region at the center of the hurricane, which is roughly circular in shape and usually has calm weather.

3.Hurricanes form over the ocean, often beginning as a tropical wave—a low pressure area that moves through the moisture-rich tropics, possibly enhancing shower and thunderstorm activity.  

4.When the surface water is warm, the storm sucks up heat energy from the water, just like a straw sucks up a liquid. This creates moisture in the air. If wind conditions are right, the storm becomes a hurricane. This heat energy is the fuel for the storm.

5.a rising of the sea as a result of atmospheric pressure changes and wind associated with a storm.

6.A hurricane dies down when it loses its energy source, which is usually warm water at the surface of the ocean.

7.Hurricane Katrina was so destructive because of a bunch of events that happened in just the right way. First, understand that Katrina was at one point a Category 5 storm and was predicted to hit New Orleans as a Category 4. It weakened to a Cat 3 and veered ever so slightly to the east, making the damage far less than it could have been.

How are amplitude, intensity, and<br> loudness related?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder. The same amount of energy is spread over a greater area, so the intensity and loudness of the sound is less.
