You have been called in by your neighborhood safety council to advise them about installing a barrier on a dangerous curve that

has been subject to several recent accidents. They need to decide between a new a "softer barrier", which consists of barrels of water, and the traditional concrete barrier. In a test, two 1400 kg cars initially travelling at 50 mph were crashed into each barrier. The softer barrier took 1.6 s to bring the car to a rest, while the traditional barrier took 0.1. You have been asked to prepare a report on the force exerted on the car in each case.

Answer: The softer barrier is the better option

Explanation:

1) When is a car is moving at a certain speed, it has a certain amount of momentum (p=mv). A collision against a barrier would cause its momentum to decrease to 0. A change in momentum is Impulse

2) The formula for Impulse: J = f * Δt

J is Impulse

f is the force applied during the time Δt

A tough barrier would produce a smaller Δt, which means more force is applied on the car. (J is always constant)

A softer barrier would apply less force on the car, which means Δt is large.

Answer: The softer barrier is the better option

An object is moving with a constant velocity of 278 m/s. How long will it take it to travel 7500 m, using the formula Delta X=Vt
rusak2 [61]
If the velocity is constant then the acceleration of the object is zero.
a=0 (m/s^2)
Thus when we apply the equation
\Delta X=vt+(at^2/2)
It remains
\Delta X =vt
or equivalent
t=(\Delta X/v) =7500/278 =26.98 (seconds)

What is the answer to this question number 2?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1⁺ ion

Explanation:

Metals in the first group on the periodic table will prefer to form 1⁺ ion. This is because the 1 valence electron in their orbital.

Most metals are electropositive and would prefer to lose electrons than to gain it.

Like all metals, the group 1 elements called the alkali metals would prefer to lose and electron.

On losing an electron the number of protons is then greater than the number of electrons. This leaves a net positive charge.

A student notices that an inflated balloon gets larger when it is warmed by a lamp. Which best describes the mass of the balloon
nirvana33 [79]
It gets larger because
well let me give you an example
so today in class we looked at a lava lamp with wax inside and there was a lightbulb at the bottom.
we watched as the wax floated up because the molecules inside the wax spreads out and makes the wax less dense.
the wax floats up because (which is related to the balloon getting bigger) the wax is getting less dense and the particles get bigger which ALSO makes the wax less dense.
hope this helps and hope you can relate it to your problem! say thanks if I did help AT ALL! :)

Drag the positive or negative feedback loop on the left to each process on the right. terms may be used once, more than once, or
slamgirl [31]

The order of the positive and negative feedback loops are positive, positive, negative, positive, positive, negative.

<h3>What is a feedback loop?</h3>

A system component known as a feedback loop is one in which all or a portion of the output is used as input for subsequent actions. A minimum of four phases comprise each feedback loop. Input is produced in the initial phase. Input is recorded and stored in the subsequent stage. Input is examined in the third stage, and during the fourth, decisions are made using the knowledge from the examination.

Both negative and positive feedback loops are possible. Insofar as they stay within predetermined bounds, negative feedback loops are self-regulating and helpful for sustaining an ideal condition. One of the most well-known examples of a self-regulating negative feedback loop is an old-fashioned home thermostat that turns on or off a furnace using bang-bang control.
