A carmaker has designed a car that can reach a maximum acceleration of 12 meters/second2. The car’s mass is 1,515 kilograms. Ass

uming the same engine is used, what should the car’s mass be if the carmaker wants to reach an acceleration of 15 meters/second2? Use F = ma.
A 1,212 kg
B 1,335 kg
C1,466 kg
D 1,515 kg
D 1,894 kg

1) 15 / 12 = 1.25 ratio
2) to increase acceleration  1.25 times (with same F, or same engine) you have to lower mass 1.25 times
3) 1515/1.25 = 1212 kg

choose A

The front 1.20 m of a 1,600-kg car is designed as a "crumple zone" that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision. (a) If a c
eimsori [14]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations for the description of the position, speed and acceleration.

In turn, we will resort to the application of Newton's second law.

PART A) For the first part we look for the time, in a constant acceleration, knowing the speeds and the displacement therefore we know that,

X_f = X_i +\frac{1}{2}(V_i+V_f)t

Where,

X = Desplazamiento

V = Velocity

t = Time

In this case there is no initial displacement or initial velocity, therefore

X_f = \frac{1}{2} (V_i+V_f)t

Clearing for time,

t = \frac{2X_f}{(V_i+V_f)}

t = \frac{2*1.2}{24+0}

t = 0.1s

PART B) This is a question about the impulse of bodies, where we turn to Newton's second law, because:

F = ma

Where,

m=mass

a = acceleration

Acceleration can also be written as,

a= \frac{\Delta V}{t}

Then

F = m\frac{\Delta V}{t}

F = m\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}

F = m\frac{-V_i}{t}

F = \frac{(1600kg)(-24m/s)}{(0.1s)}

F = -384000N

Negative symbol is because the force is opposite of the direction of moton.

PART C) Acceleration through kinematics equation is defined as

V_f^2=V_i^2-2ax

0 = (24m/s)^2-2*a(1.2m)

a = \frac{(24m/s)^2}{1.2m}

a=480m/s^2

The gravity is equal to 0.8, then the acceleration is

a = 480*\frac{g}{9.8}

a = 53.3g

A 250 g block of ice is removed from the refrigerator at -8.0°C. How much thermal energy does the ice absorb as it warms to room
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Q = 114895 J

Explanation:

To find the thermal energy gained by the ice you use the following formula:

Q=mc(T_2-T_1)+H_f\ m

m: mass of the ice = 0.250kg

T2: final temperature = 22°C

T1: initial temperature = -8.0°C

Hf: heat of fusion of water = 3.34*10^5 J/kg

c: specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg

By replacing the values of the parameters you have:

Q=(0.250kg)(4186J/kg\°C)(22+8)\°C+(3.34*10^5 J/kg)(0.250kg)\\\\Q=114895\ J

where you have considered that ice melts completely
