Calculate the force needed to bring a 950-kg car to rest from a speed of 90.0 km/h in a distance of 120 m (a fairly typical dist

ance for a non-panic stop). (b) Suppose instead the car hits a concrete abutment at full speed and is brought to a stop in 2.00 m.

Answer:

a)

2474 N

b)

148438 N

Explanation:

(a)

v₀ = initial velocity of the car = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

v = final velocity of the car = 0 m/s

d = stopping distance for the car = 120 m

F = force needed to bring the car to rest

m = mass of the car = 950 kg

Using Work-change in kinetic energy theorem

F d Cos180 = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

F (120) (-1) = (0.5) (950) (0² - 25²)

F = 2474 N

b)

v₀ = initial velocity of the car = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

v = final velocity of the car = 0 m/s

d = stopping distance for the car = 2 m

F = force needed to bring the car to rest

m = mass of the car = 950 kg

Using Work-change in kinetic energy theorem

F d Cos180 = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

F (2) (-1) = (0.5) (950) (0² - 25²)

F = 148438 N

Answer:

Increasing the mass and decreasing the distance between the two objects.

Explanation:

An increase in mass will cause them to have a stronger pull or gravity. A decrease of distance will make it easier for the objects to fall into each other because they would be further into the other objects area of influence.

Prove the three laws of motion

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The first law, also called the law of inertia, was pioneered by Galileo. This was quite a conceptual leap because it was not possible in Galileo's time to observe a moving object without at least some frictional forces dragging against the motion. In fact, for over a thousand years before Galileo, educated individuals believed Aristotle's formulation that, wherever there is motion, there is an external force producing that motion.

The second law, $ f(t)=m\,a(t)$ , actually implies the first law, since when $ f(t)=0$ (no applied force), the acceleration $ a(t)$ is zero, implying a constant velocity $ v(t)$ . (The velocity is simply the integral with respect to time of $ a(t)={\dot v}(t)$ .)

Newton's third law implies conservation of momentum [138]. It can also be seen as following from the second law: When one object ``pushes'' a second object at some (massless) point of contact using an applied force, there must be an equal and opposite force from the second object that cancels the applied force. Otherwise, there would be a nonzero net force on a massless point which, by the second law, would accelerate the point of contact by an infinite amount.

A man pushes his lawnmower with a velocity of +0.75 m/s relative to the ground. A girl rides by on her bike with a velocity of +

SashulF [63]

Answer:

B. +5.75 m/s

Explanation:

When there are two bodies, a and b, whose velocities measured by a third observer (in this case, the ground) are $V_a$ and $V_b$ respectively, the relative velocity of B with respect to A is given by:

$V_{ba}=V_b-V_a$

Thus, the velocity of the girl relative to the lawnmower is:

$V_{ba}=6.5\frac{m}{s}-0.75\frac{m}{s}\\V_{ba}=5.75\frac{m}{s}$
