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

In the figure below, a block of 1.67 slides on a track with different levels, which has friction only at the highest point where

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

2.0 m

Explanation:

Energy is conserved.

Initial KE = Final PE + Work done by friction

½ mv² = mgh + Fd

½ mv² = mgh + mgμd

½ v² = gh + gμd

½ v² − gh = gμd

d = (½ v² − gh) / (gμ)

d = (½ (7.5 m/s)² − (10 m/s²) (2.1 m)) / ((10 m/s²) (0.35))

d = 2.0 m

The potentially dangerous part of the electromagnetic spectrum is produced to generate power with nuclear energy A. Gamma Rays B

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:A- Gamma rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays are most dangerous among all the given rays because it has the highest frequency i.e. high penetrating tendency. They can also pass through bones and teeth and this is the reason for their potential hazard.

They can destroy the living cell, initiate gene mutation and can cause cancer.

But they can also be used for destroying cancer cells.

Explain the reason behind why geographers believe the Malthusian theory is not true

g100num [7]

Answer:

Malthus objection was that the pressure of increasing population on the food supply would destroy perfection and there would be misery in the world.

Malthus was severely criticized for his pessimistic views,which led him to travel to the continent of europe to gather data in support of his thesis

A Ferris wheel is turning at a constant speed of 5 m/s is it accelerating true or false?

NikAS [45]

There are several things wrong with the question:

-- " 5 m/s " is not a turning speed.

-- 'Constant speed' can mean zero acceleration, or it can mean
huge acceleration if it's constant speed around a circle. There's
not enough information here to tell the difference.

-- The answer to an "is it ?" question is 'yes' or 'no', not 'true' or 'false'.

All in all, this question is so ragged that any reliable answer
should probably be as negative as possible.

A 5000 kg train is traveling at a velocity of 100 m/s and hits another train. The two trains stick together and the new velocity

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum is used to solve

Unfortunately we have a missing piece of information such as the initial velocity of the unknown mass train.

If we ASSUME that the second train is at rest

5000(100) + m(0) = 5000(50) + m(50)

which means m = 5000 kg

However, I'll show you the importance of knowing that initial velocity by finding it assuming the other answers are valid

if m = 15000 kg

5000(100) + 15000(v₀) = (5000 + 15000)(50)

v₀ = 33 ⅓ m/s

if m = 10000 kg

5000(100) + 10000(v₀) = (5000 + 10000)(50)

v₀ = 25 m/s

if m = 8000 kg

5000(100) + 8000(v₀) = (5000 + 8000)(50)

v₀ = 18.75 m/s

So you can see why I had to assume an initial velocity. Any of the masses could work if the initial velocity is chosen correctly.
