The high-speed winds around a tornado can drive projectiles into trees, building walls, and even metal traffic signs. In a labor

atory simulation, a standard wood toothpick was shot by pneumatic gun into an oak branch. The toothpick mass was 0.12 g, its speed before entering the branch was 221 m/s, and its penetration depth was 16 mm. If its speed was decreased at a uniform rate, what was the magnitude of the force of the branch on the toothpick?

Answer:

F  = 183.153 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the toothpick = 0.12 g = 0.00012 kg  

initial velocity = 227 m/s    

final velocity = 0 m/s      

penetration depth = 16 mm = 0.016 m        

using the equation of motion        

v² - u² = 2 a s                            

0 - u² = 2 a s                                      

- 221² = 2 × a × 0.016      

a = 1526281.25 m/s²            

Force is equal to            

F = m a

  = 0.00012 × 1526281.25

F  = 183.153 N

Answer:

Using lighter material in car construction, improving energy efficiency by enhancing engine design or replacing the engine with more efficient technologies.

Explanation:

Using lighter materials in the car construction, reducing the potential energy required to accelerate and to move the car, as well as energy losses due to rolling friction. There is evidence of such benefits by replacing steel and aluminium parts with components made of composite materials.  

Improving the design of internal combustion engines to minimize energy losses and accordingly, improving energy efficiency. A more radical approach is replacing internal combustion engines with electric engines, which offer higher efficiencies. Such conclusions can be easily inferred from model based on Work-Energy Theorem and Principle of Energy Conservation:

\eta_{engine} \cdot U_{engine} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot m_{car} \cdot v^{2} + \mu_{r} \cdot m_{car} \cdot g \cdot \Delta s

16. After a crime scene has been photographed, the field inspector will collect and package the * O circumstantial evidence O sc
const2013 [10]

The physical evidence are the silent witnesses against the perpetrators of a crime

The correct option of what the field inspector packages after the crime scene has been photographed is the option;

  • <u>Physical evidence</u>

Reason:

Physical evidence are evidence that originate from inanimate objects or origin that is nonliving, and includes every material or object that serve as an indicator that someone has committed a crime, or that can link a perpetrator to crime

Examples include; Documents, hair, skin, fingerprints, weapons, soil, or fibers

The field inspector, collects the evidence that shows that a crime has been committed which are the physical evidence, after the crime scene has been photographed

Therefore, the correct option is; <u>Physical evidence</u>

Suppose a fireworks shell explodes, breaking into three large pieces for which air resistance is negligible. How is the motion o
denis-greek [22]

The center of mass isn't affected by the explosion.

To find the answer, we need to know about the trajectory of motion at zero external force.

<h3>How is the trajectory of an object changed when the net external force on it is zero?</h3>
  • When there's no net external force acting on an object, its momentum doesn't change with time.
  • As its momentum doesn't change, so it continues with the original trajectory.
<h3>Why doesn't the trajectory of firework change when it's exploded?</h3>
  • When a firework is exploded, its internal forces are changed, but there's no external force.
  • So, although the fragments follow different trajectories, but the trajectory of center of mass remains unchanged.

Thus, we can conclude that the center of mass isn't affected by the explosion.

FromTheMoon [43]
False, because the ions of the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere. The energy released during these collisions causes an aurora.
