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

Physics

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.

A river is flowing south at a rate of 3 m/s. Steven can roe directly across the river if he aims the raft 30 degrees. What rate
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The river flowing south at the rate, v = 3 m/s

To reach the other side directly across the river, he aims the raft, Ф = 30°

The speed of his raft across the river is given by the formula,

                                          V = v / Sin Ф

                                             = 3 / Sin 30°

                                              = 6 m/s

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s

A screw having 50% efficiency is driven by a rod and 25 cm. The pitch of the screw is 1/10cm Calculate velocity ratio and mechan
neonofarm [45]

(a) The velocity ratio of the screw is 1570.8.

(b) The mechanical advantage of the screw is 785.39.

<h3>Velocity ratio of the screw</h3>

The velocity ratio of the screw is calculated as follows;

V.R = 2πr/P

where;

  • P is the pitch = 1/10 cm = 0.1 cm = 0.001 m
  • r is radius = 25 cm = 0.25 m

V.R = (2π x 0.25)/(0.001)

V.R = 1570.8

<h3>Mechanical advantage of the screw</h3>

E = MA/VR x 100%

0.5 = MA/1570.8

MA = 785.39

A bungee jumper starts with 1000 J in their GPE store. After they jump they fall and are brought to a stop with the bungee cord.
pochemuha

Answer:

energy is equal to 1000 J

Explanation:

When the jumper is in the tent, he has a given height, this height gives him a gravitational potential energy, which forms his initial mechanical energy of 1000 J. After jumping, this energy is converted into elastic energy of the rope plus a remainder of potential energy gravitational, it does not reach the ground, but as the friction is negligible the total mechanical energy is conserved, therefore its energy is equal to 1000 J

This is a case of energy transformation, but the total value of mechanical energy does not change

A 75Kg man jumps from a window 1.0m above the sidewalk. If the man falls with his knees and ankles locked, the only cushion for
liq [111]

Answer:

150153.06122 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of person = 75 kg

h = Height of fall = 1 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

F = Force

s = Displacement = 0.49 cm

Potential energy is given by

P=mgh\\\Rightarrow P=75\times 9.81\times 1\\\Rightarrow P=735.75\ J

Work is given by

W=Fs\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{735.75}{0.0049}\\\Rightarrow F=150153.06122\ N

The average force exerted is 150153.06122 N
