Answer:
0.775 m
Explanation:
As the car collides with the bumper, all the kinetic energy of the car (K) is converted into elastic potential energy of the bumper (U):
where we have
is the spring constant of the bumper
x is the maximum compression of the bumper
is the mass of the car
is the speed of the car
Solving for x, we find the maximum compression of the spring:
Answer:
C. Why you must push harder to move a car farther.
Explanation:
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.
Mathematically, it is given by the formula;
Hence, Newton's 2nd Law explains why you must push harder to move a car farther because of its mass. Thus, it is important to increase the force that the engine provides and decrease the mass of the car.
Recall that average velocity is equal to change in position over a given time interval,
so that the <em>x</em>-component of is
and its <em>y</em>-component is
Solve for and
, which are the <em>x</em>- and <em>y</em>-components of the copter's position vector after <em>t</em> = 1.60 s.
Note that I'm reading the given details as
so if any of these are incorrect, you should make the appropriate adjustments to the work above.
