During an automobile crash test, the average force exerted by a solid wall on a 1,900 kg car that hits the wall is measured to b

e 150,000 N over a 0.30 s time interval. What was the initial speed of the car (in m/s) prior to the collision, assuming the car is at rest at the end of the time interval

Answer:

 u = 23.68 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car, m = 1900 Kg

Force exerted on the wall, F = 150,000 N

time of contact, t = 0.3 s

final speed of the car = 0 m/s

initial speed of the car = ?

we know,

Impulse is equal to change in momentum

J = m v- mu

J = 1900 x 0 - 1900 x (-u)

J = 1900 u

impulse is also equal to force into time

J = F x t

equating both equation of impulse

1900 u = F  x t

1900 u = 150000 x 0.3

1900 u = 45000

 u = 23.68 m/s

Speed of the car before collision is equal to 23.68 m/s

How do magnetic forces repel or attract?
Lerok [7]

“Magnets are surrounded by an invisible magnetic field that is made by the movement of electrons, the subatomic particles that circle the nucleus of an atom”



“Every magnet has both a north and a south pole. When you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another. When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (north to north or south to south), they will repel each other.”
