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

How is photon energy calculated? (choose 2)
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on the wave model of light, physicists predicted that increasing light amplitude would increase the kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons, while increasing the frequency would increase measured current.

Contrary to the predictions, experiments showed that increasing the light frequency increased the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, and increasing the light amplitude increased the current.

Based on these findings, Einstein proposed that light behaved like a stream of particles called photons with an energy of \text{E}=h\nuE=hνstart text, E, end text, equals, h, \nu.

The work function, \PhiΦ\Phi, is the minimum amount of energy required to induce photoemission of electrons from a metal surface, and the value of \PhiΦ\Phi depends on the metal.

The energy of the incident photon must be equal to the sum of the metal's work function and the photoelectron kinetic energy:

States that there is an exchange of materials when two objects come into contact with each other
pishuonlain [190]

"Edmond Locard" states that there is an exchange of materials when two objects come into contact with each other.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A French criminologist who was popular as the "Sherlock Holmes of France," the pioneer in forensic science named as Dr. Edmond Locard. He articulated forensic science's fundamental principle "Each touch leaves a trace." This became known as Locard's philosophy of exchange. A Locard hypothesized that each and every time you touch another person, place or object, the result would be an exchange of materials. Burglars, for instance, will leave evidence of their existence behind and take traces with them too.

The transfer of heat from the Sun is in the form of thermal radiation (also called infrared radiation)
The transfer of heat at the person’s feet is by thermal conduction. During the day the sand will be hot so if you step on it with bare feet there will be conduction of heat to the feet.
