In a rear-end collision, occupants are thrown towards the BACK of the vehicle.

Answer:

Back

Explanation:

As the vehicle is moving forward the <em>inertia</em> is keeping the occupants move at the same speed and with respect to the vehicle the occupants appear to be at rest. In case of rear collision, the vehicle will suddenly move forward while the occupants will be thrown towards the back of the vehicle.

The Hubble Space Telescope has a mass of 1.16*10^ 4 kg and orbits the Earth at an altitude of 5.68 * 10 ^ 5 above Earth's surfac
andrezito [222]

Answer:

E=8.13\times 10^{12}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a Hubble Space Telescope, m_1=1.16\times 10^4\ kg

It orbits the Earth at an altitude of 5.68\times 10^5\ m

We need to find the potential energy the telescope at this location. The formula for potential energy is given by :

E=\dfrac{Gm_1m_e}{r}

Where

m_e is the mass of Earth

Put all the values,

E=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.16\times 10^4\times 5.97\times 10^{24}}{5.68\times 10^5}\\\\E=8.13\times 10^{12}\ J

So, the potential energy of the telescope is 8.13\times 10^{12}\ J.

Astronomers have found water on mars.
vodomira [7]

The thin atmosphere of Mars is thought to be due to the planet's lack of a magnetic field, which has allowed the Solar wind to blow away much of the gas the planet once had. Venus, despite still having a thick atmosphere of CO2, surprisingly has a similar problem

A 1000 kg truck moving at 2.0 m/s runs into a concrete wall. It takes 0.5 s for the truck to completely stop. What is the magnit
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Momentum is given by

p

=

m

v

. Impulse is the change of momentum,

I

=

Δ

p

and is also equal to force times time:

I

=

F

t

. Rearranging,

F

=

I

t

=

Δ

p

Explanation:

Momentum before the collision is

Assuming the truck comes to a complete halt, the momentum after the collision is

The change in momentum,

This is called the impulse:

I

=

Δ

p

. Impulse is also equal (check the units) to force times time:

I

=

F

t

.

We can rearrange this expression to make

F

The negative sign just means the force acting is in the opposite direction to the initial momentum.

(This will be the average force acting during the collision: collisions are chaotic so the force is unlikely to be constant.)

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why? Because it uses Pascal's idea and  principle: F=p*S. If we apply small force to small piston you will generate a pressure. According to Pascal's law pressure is the same everywhere in closed system so the same pressure will act on large piston on the other side too.
