A car's bumper is designed to withstand a 5.04-km/h (1.4-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of t

he car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force on a bumper that collapses 0.255 m while bringing a 890-kg car to rest from an initial speed of 1.4 m/s.

Answer:

3420.39 N

Explanation:

Applying,

Fd = 1/2(mv²-mu²)................. Equation 1

Where F = force on the bumber, d = distance, m = mass of the car, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity.

make F the subject of the equation

F = (mv²-mu²)/2d............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: m = 890 kg, v = 0 m/s (to rest), u = 1.4 m/s, d = 0.255 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

F = [(890×0²)-(890×1.4²)]/(2×0.255)

F = -1744.4/0.51

F = -3420.39 N

The negative sign denotes that the force in opposite direction to the motion of the car.

How did particles in the solar nebula eventually form earth
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

At the high temperatures of the inner solar nebula, the small proto-planets were too hot to hold the volatile gases that dominated the solar nebula. These proto-planets were Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.

Explanation:

The materials that accreted into the early Earth were probably added piecemeal, without and particular order. The early earth was very hot from gravitational compression, impacts and radioactive decay; the earth was partially molted. The denser metallic liquids sank to the center of the Earth and less denser silicate liquids rose to the top. In this way the Earth differentiated very quickly into a metallic, mostly iron core and a rocky silicate mantle.

NARA [144]
1.5 m/s is the velocity. 9.3 m is the length of aisle, over which Distance will be covered. Time is demanded in which the child will move the cart over the aisle with 1.5 m/s. v=S/t and, t=S/v Put values, t=9.3/1.5=6.2 s

If the frequencies of two component waves are 24 Hz and 20 Hz, they should produce _______ beats per second.
horrorfan [7]
This can be answered using the beat frequency formula, which is simply the difference between 2 frequencies.

Let: <span>fᵇ = beat frequency
</span>f₁ = first frequency
f₂ = second frequency

fᵇ = |f₁ - f₂|

substituting the values:
fᵇ = |24Hz - 20Hz|
fᵇ = 4Hz

The unit Hz also means beats per second, therefore:
<span>fᵇ = 4 beats per second
</span>
Therefore, the answer is C. 4
