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

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Resistance R in a current flow through an object is given by

R= \frac{\rho L}{A}

ρ = resistivity of the material

L= length of the object

A=  area of cross section

clearly resistance is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.

thermal resistance R_th is given by

R_{th} = \frac{L}{KA}

L= length of the object

A=  area of cross section

K = Conductivity of the material

thermal resistance is also is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.

Which characeristic makes omasis different from diffusion.
Ksju [112]
 <span>haha I used to think biology was so hard, i find it quite easy now. 
Okay, so basically Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Diffusion is generally the movement of a gradient from higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis applies to water only, whereas diffusion, you have many types such as Passive transport [ movement of molecules from high- low, NO CELLULAR ENERGY needed! ] then you have faciliated diffusion ( basically uses a channel protein to allow big substances to go through the membrane : NO ENERGY needed] 
OSMOSIS, the important thing to remember is that water ALWAYS flow towards the region with the higher concentration of the solute (ex: Salt is solute, water is solvent) solute is the thing that is being dissolved. Solvent is the one doing the dissolving. Hope this helped!</span>

On a caterpillars map all distances are marked in kilometers . The caterpillars map shows the distance between two milkweed plan
frutty [35]

Answer:

The distance in kilometers is 4012 ×10^{-6} km.

Explanation:

We know that the conversion of 1 millimeters is equal to 10^{-3} meter. And then the conversion of 1 meter is equal to 10^{-3} km. Then the conversion of 1 millimeter to km will be

1 mm = 10^{-3} m

1 m = 10^{-3} km

So, 1 mm = 10^{-3}×10^{-3} km = 10^{-6} km.

As here the the distance is 4012 mm, then the distance in km will be

4012 mm = 4012 ×10^{-6} km.

So the distance is 4012 ×10^{-6} km.
