Answer:

The correct answer is inertia.

Explanation:

The heavy bag of groceries is initially within the inertia frame of the car. This indicates that the heavy bag acquires the same speed as the car.

When the car stops, the heavy bag continues to move forward with the speed it had due to the principle of inertia, which states the property that the bodies cannot modify by themselves the state of rest or movement in which they are.

Have a nice day!

A carbon fiber car bumper is hit by another car with the stress of 106,483 Pa. If carbon fiber has a Young's modulus of 228 x 10
hoa [83]

Answer:

Stress = 4.67 * 10^-7 N/m²

Explanation:

Young's modulus of the material = Stress/Strain

Given

Young's modulus  = 228 x 10^9 Pa

Stress =  106,483 Pa

Required

Strain

From the formula;

Strain = Stress/Young modulus

Strain =  106,483 /228 x 10^9

Stress = 4.67 * 10^-7 N/m²

I need help on number 5. We need to use one of the four kinematics equations.
Gnom [1K]

ANSWER

35.02m

EXPLANATION

Parameters given:

Initial velocity, u = 26.2 m/s

When the vase reaches its maximum height, its velocity becomes 0 m/s. That is the final velocity.

We can now apply one of Newton's equations of motion to find the height:

v^2=u^2-2as

where a = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore, we have that:

\begin{gathered} 0=26.2^2-2(9.8)s \\ \Rightarrow19.6s=686.44 \\ s=\frac{686.44}{19.6} \\ s=35.02m \end{gathered}

That is the height that the vase will reach.
