Now in "real life," this automobile is cruising at 20.5 m/s (equal to 73.8 km/hr) when it is about to hit a pedestrian stuck in

the middle of the road. The super hero Mr. Incredible comes to the rescue. He does not want to get sued, however. Therefore, he will not push the car with a force greater than 2.0 ✕ 104 N; otherwise, the bumper will get damaged. How much time (in s) does he need to stop this car?

Answer:

He needs 1.53 seconds to stop the car.

Explanation:

Let the mass of the car is 1500 kg

Speed of the car, v = 20.5 m/s

He will not push the car with a force greater than, F=2\times 10^4\ N

The impulse delivered to the object is given by the change in momentum as :

F\times t=mv\\\\t=\dfrac{mv}{F}\\\\t=\dfrac{1500\times 20.5}{2\times 10^4}\\\\t=1.53\ s

So, he needs 1.53 seconds to stop the car. Hence, this is the required solution.

A car moving at 10.0 m/s encounters a bump that has a circular cross-section with a radius of 30.0 m. What is the normal force e
Andrew [12]

Answer:

force at the top will be 388 N which is nearly equal to 389

option (b) is correct

Explanation:

We have given velocity of the moving car v = 10 m/sec

Radius of the circular section r = 30 m

Mass of the passenger m = 60 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

At the top normal force is given by noraml\ force=mg-\frac{mv^2}{r}

So force at top will be F=60\times 9.8-\frac{60\times 10^2}{30}=388N

So force at the top will be 388 N which is nearly equal to 389

So option (b) is correct

Acceleration is sometimes expressed in multiples of g, where g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the magnitude of the acceleration due to the earth
Serga [27]

Answer:

Acceleration = 18g

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, u = 26m/s

Final velocity, v = 0

Time = 0.15 secs

To find the acceleration;

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity  -  initial \; velocity}{time}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

a = \frac{0 - 26}{0.15}

a = \frac{26}{0.15}

Acceleration = 173.33m/s2

To express it in magnitude of g;

Acceleration = 173.33/9.8

Acceleration = 17.7 ≈ 18g

Acceleration = 18g

Oh.  I just read the question again, and I noticed that
you want explanations too.  There are 17 examples
on my list, and that would take so much explaining
that I'm going to try and get away without it.  I just
hope that the list itself is worth 5 points.
