To test the resiliency of its bumper during low-speed collisions, a 3 690-kg automobile is driven into a brick wall. The car's b

umper behaves like a spring with a force constant 8.00 106 N/m and compresses 3.86 cm as the car is brought to rest. What was the speed of the car before impact, assuming no mechanical energy is transformed or transferred away during impact with the wall?

Answer:

1.8 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass of the automobile = 3690 kg

k = force constant of the spring = 8 x 10⁶ N/m

x = compression of the spring = 3.86 cm = 0.0386 m

v = speed of the car before impact

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of automobile before impact = Spring potential energy of bumpers

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

(3690) v² = (8 x 10⁶) (0.0386)²

v = 1.8 m/s

The ball X has a known position at 3 different times, each 1 second apart. The positions of the ball are (1.8,2.2)m, (4.4,4.8)m,
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the position coordinates given , it appears that the ball moves simultaneously along x and y direction.

Displacement along x direction in one second = 4.4 - 1.8 = 2.6 m

So velocity along x direction V_x = \frac{2.6}{s}

Similarly velocity along y direction V_y(1) =  \frac{2.6}{s}

In the next phase velocity changes both in x and y direction.

velocity in x - direction V_x(2) = [tex]\frac{2}{s}[/tex

Velocity in Y- direction V_y(2) = [tex]\frac{3.1}{s}[/tex

Acceleration in x direction = change of velocity in x direction

= ( 2 - 2.6 ) = -.6 m s⁻²

Acceleration in y direction = ( 3.1 - 2.6 ) = 0.5 m s⁻²

Total acceleration =\sqrt{( -.6 )² + ( .5 )²}

= .78 ms⁻²

Perfect square of 11650​
suter [353]

Answer:

Since the area of the perfect square is 11650, and all of a squares sides ar equal, we just need to find the square root.

The square root of 11650 is 107.935166.

One side of the square is 107.935166

107.935166 x 107.935166 = 11650
