In a crash test, a truck with mass 2100 kg traveling at 22 m/s smashes head-on into a concrete wall without rebounding. The fron

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

a) 11 m/s

b) 0.0564 s

Explanation:

Given:

m = 2100 kg

vi = 22 ..... m/s before collision

vf = 0 ......after collision to stop

Δs = 0.62 distance traveled after collision .. crumpling of truck

Part a

$V_{avg} = \frac{vi- vf}{2}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{22- 0}{2}\\\\ V_{avg} = 11 m/s$

Part b

$vf = vi + a*t\\vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*s\\\\0 = 22 + a*t\\t = -22 /a\\\\0 = 484 +2*a*(0.62)\\a = - 390.3232 m/s^2\\\\t = -22/(-390.3232)\\\\t = 0.0564 s$

1. James drives 400 km in 5 hours to his grandmothers. What are the units for speed going to be?

Airida [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

1. Speed is calculated as the ratio of distance and time. Hence, Jame's speed can be calculated as:

400/5 km/hr = 80 km/hr

The unit for the speed would be km/hr. This can also be converted to m/s:

80 km = 80,000 m

1 hr = 3,600 s

80 km/hr = 80,000/3600 m/s = 22.22 m/s

2. Since James drove 400 km in 5 hours, the distance he drove is 400 km.

3. The time it took for James to get there is 5 hours.

What measurement do we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Newtons.

Explanation:

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

$F = ma$

Where;

F represents force measured in Newton.

m represents the mass of an object measured in kilograms.

a represents acceleration measured in meter per seconds square.

Newtons is a measurement we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine. It is the International System of Units (SI) used to measure force and has a symbol of N.

Basically, it was named after Sir Isaac Newton based on his fundamental works in the field of mechanics (motions).
