Potential energy = (weight) x (height)

After the car has been raised 2.5 meters, it has

(11,000) x (2.5) = 27,500 Joules

MORE potential energy than it had before it was lifted.

That's the energy that has to come from the work you do to lift it.

Since no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient, the work required
to accomplish this task is <em>at least 27,500 joules</em>.

Answer:

Crumple zones are designed to absorb and redistribute the force of a collision. ... Also known as a crush zone, crumple zones are areas of a vehicle that are designed to deform and crumple in a collision. This absorbs some of the energy of the impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants.

A car travels at a steady 40.0 m/s around a horizontal curve of radius 200 m. What is the minimumcoefficient of static friction

zhenek [66]

Answer:

c. 0.816

Explanation:

Let the mass of car be 'm' and coefficient of static friction be 'μ'.

Given:

Speed of the car (v) = 40.0 m/s

Radius of the curve (R) = 200 m

As the car is making a circular turn, the force acting on it is centripetal force which is given as:
