Imagine that you are designing a small car and you want to make it as safe as possible. There are two ways that you can design t

he car for a collision. One is to make it so that the car will crumple up (keeping the passenger compartment rigid so they don’t get squashed!) and come to rest along with the other vehicle. The other method is to make the car very rigid so that it will bounce off of the other vehicle. Which method will be safer to use?
A. The crumple method, because the force experienced by the passengers will be less in this case.

B. The crumple method, because the car absorbs all the forces that would otherwise act on the person.

C. The rigid method, because the rigid body sends the forces back to the other car.

D. The rigid method, because the rigid body carries the impulse away from the passengers.

E. Both are equally effective.

Answer:

B. The crumple method, because the car absorbs all the forces that would otherwise act on the person.

Explanation:

The impact forces transmission to passengers needs to be minimized in order to achieve the highest safety level, hence in the case of a collision, car will crumple and absorb most part of that force and will not cause harmful sudden deceleration.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

∅=63.43^{0}

Explanation:

z=impedance

x_{l}=2R

R=R

The resultant of the resistances in the circuit is called impedance

x_{l} is inductive reactance of the circuit

R is the resistance of the resistor

z=\sqrt{xl^{2}+R^2 }

z=\sqrt{2R^{2}+R^2 }

Z=\sqrt{5R^2}

Z=R\sqrt{5}ohms

tan∅=2R/R

tan∅=2

∅=Tan^-1(2)

∅=63.43^{0}

phase angle is ∅=63.43^{0}

Calculate the energy needed to heat 4 kg of water from 25°C to 45°C.
inna [77]
(1 cal/g °C) x (4000 g) x (45 - 25)°C = 80000 cal = 80 kcal. So the answer is 80 kcal .

Decreases, stays the same, increases. The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume). The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules. The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.
