In a 50 km/h head-on crash test, the steering column of passenger car 1 moved 3 cm upward and 2 cm rearward. The steering column

of passenger car 2 moved 6 cm up and 24 cm toward the rear of the car. Which of the two cars would protect people better in a crash? Explain your answer.

Answer:

Car 1

Explanation:

The steering column which moves the least is less likely to to the driver's chest ordinarily. Driver tends to remain in motion until restrained. Assuming a  seat belt not airbag

Generally one would compute a vector find direction and distance.  This is like solving for a hypotenuse  / in a right angled triangle problem. On face value the column moving the least is safer. The 6/24 would hit the upper chest, face, or possibly break the neck.

hence, car 1 moved 3 cm upward and 2 cm rearward is safer.

Rony fills a bucket with water and whirls it in a vertical circle to demonstrate that the water will not spill from the bucket a
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

0 N, 3.49 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for the bucket at the top of the swing.  There are two forces acting on the bucket: weight and tension, both downwards.

If we take the sum of the forces in the radial direction, where towards the center is positive:

∑F = ma

W + T = m v² / r

The higher the velocity that Rony swings the bucket, the more tension there will be.  The slowest he can swing it is when the tension is 0.

W = m v² / r

mg = m v² / r

g = v² / r

v = √(gr)

Given that r = 1.24 m:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 1.24 m)

v = 3.49 m/s

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.
Nata [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.

What is the relationship between height of high tide and height of low tide for any location? ( Small answer please :) ! )
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Tides are very long-period waves that move through the oceans in response to the forces exerted by the moon and sun. They originate in the oceans and progress toward the coastlines where they appear as the regular rise and fall of the sea surface. When the highest part or crest of the wave reaches a particular location, high tide occurs; low tide corresponds to the lowest part of the wave, or its trough. The difference in height between the high tide and the low tide is called the tidal range. Tidal range is the height difference between high tide and low tide.
