The bodies of many cars are designed to compress or crumple during an accident. Why are cars built with a crumple zone?

By collapsing and crumpling, the force and energy is absorbed by the crumple zone and it is not transferred to the passengers inside. This is a safety feature for the passengers.

What measurements or observations tells you that a car is accelerating
lutik1710 [3]

You need to observe the car at two different times.

-- The first time: 
You write down the car's speed, and the direction it's pointing.

-- The second time:
You write down the car's speed and the direction it's pointing, again.

You take the data back to your lab to analyze it.

-- You compare the first and second speed. If they're different,
then the car had acceleration during the time between the two
observations.

-- You compare the first and second direction.  If those are different,
even if the speeds are the same, then the car had acceleration during
the time between the two observations.

(Remember, "acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up". 
It means any change in speed or direction of motion.)

mass of iron block given as

m_1 = 1.90 kg

density of iron block is

\rho = 7860 kg/m^3

now the volume of the iron piece is given as

V = \frac{m}{\rho}

V = \frac{1.90}{7860} = 2.42* 10^{-4} m^3

Now when this iron block is complete submerged in oil inside the beaker the buoyancy force on the iron block will be given as

F_b = \rho_L V g

here we know that

\rho_L = density of liquid = 916 kg/m^3

F_b = 916* 2.42 * 10^{-4} * 9.8

F_b = 2.17 N

Now for the reading of spring balance we can say the spring force and buoyancy force on the block will counter balance the weight of the block at equilibrium

F_s + F_b = mg

F_s + 2.17 = 1.90* 9.8

F_s = 16.45 N

So reading of spring balance will be 16.45 N

Now for other scale which will read the normal force of the surface we can write that normal force on the container will balance weight of liquid + container and buoyancy force on block

F_n = F_g + F_b

F_n = (1 + 2.50)*9.8 + 2.17

F_n = 34.3 + 2.17 = 36.47 N

So the other scale will read 36.47 N

If a 4N weight is hung on a spring, and it extends by 0.2m, what is the spring constant (k)?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: 200 N/m

Explanation:

The Gravitational spring energy(Us) is equal to 1/2kx^2. So we have x as .2 m and Us as 4 N. So 4 N = 1/2 * k * .2^2. So now we solve for K and get 200 N/m.
