Hi there!
The maximum deformation of the bumper will occur when the car is temporarily at rest after the collision. We can use the work-energy theorem to solve.
Initially, we only have kinetic energy:
KE = Kinetic Energy (J)
m = mass (1060 kg)
v = velocity (14.6 m/s)
Once the car is at rest and the bumper is deformed to the maximum, we only have spring-potential energy:
k = Spring Constant (1.14 × 10⁷ N/m)
x = compressed distance of bumper (? m)
Since energy is conserved:
We can simplify and solve for 'x'.
Plug in the givens and solve.

Answer:
B. No. He presented no scientific data to support his claim.
True. Weight can change with the amount of gravity but mass will always stay the same.
The force exerted by student A with his scooter is 306 N and that of student B is 204 N.
<h3>
Force applied by each student</h3>
The force exerted by each student is calculated from Newton's second law of motion.
F = ma
where;
- m is mass
- a is acceleration
F(A) = 127.5 x 2.4
F(A) = 306 N
F(B) = 120 x 1.7
F(B) = 204 N
Thus, the force exerted by student A with his scooter is 306 N and that of student B is 204 N.
