A car traveling at 20 m/s runs into a bridge abutment and crumples for 1.2 m before coming to a full stop. If we estimate the pr

Answer:

Average force exerted on car = 250,000 N or 250 KN

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed u = 20 m/s

Final speed v = 0 m/s

Total distance covered = 1.2 m

Find:

Average force exerted on car

Computation:

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 20² + 2(a)(1.2)

a = -166.67 m/s² or 166.67 m/s²

Average force exerted on car = Ma

Average force exerted on car = (1,500)(166.67)

Average force exerted on car = 250,000 N or 250 KN

An iron anchor of density 7890.00 kg/m3 appears 299 N lighter in water than in air. (a) What is the volume of the anchor? (b) Ho
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

weigh is 2353.13 N

Explanation:

Given data

density = 7890.00 kg/m3

lighter =  299 N

to find out

the volume of the anchor and weigh in air

solution

from question we can say that

apparent weight = actual weight - buoyant force

we know weight = mg and buoyant force = water density × g

so volume of anchor is = actual weight - apparent weight / buoyant force

volume of anchor is = 299 / 1000 × 9.81

volume of anchor is = 0.0304791 m³

and

weight of anchor is mg

here mass m = density Fe g

density Fe = 7870 from table 14-1

so weight = 7870 × 0.0304791  × 9.81

weigh is 2353.13 N

A pendulum of mass 5.0 ???????? hangs in equilibrium. A frustrated student walks up to it and kicks the bob with a horizontal fo
Rudiy27

Answer:

a. 37.75°

b. 6.21 m

Explanation:

a. The horizontal force acting on a pendulum bob is given as:

F = mgsinθ

where m = mass of bob

g = acceleration due to gravity

θ = angle string makes with the vertical or angle of displacement

Making θ subject of formula, we have:

θ = sin^{-1}(\frac{F}{mg} )

θ = sin^{-1} (\frac{30}{5*9.8})

θ = 37.75°

The maximum angle of displacement is 37.75°

b. Period of a pendulum is given as:

T = 2\pi\sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }

where L = length of string

Therefore, making L subject of formula:

L = \frac{gT^2}{4\pi^2}

L = \frac{9.8 * 5^2}{4\pi^2} \\\\\\L = 6.21 m

The string holding the pendulum has to be 6.21 m long.

A sample contains 10g of radioactive isotope. How much radioactive isotope will remain in the sample after 3 half-lives?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

After 1 half-life (500 years), 500 g of the parent isotope will remain. After 2 half-lives (1000 years), 250 g of the parent isotope will remain. After 3 half-lives (1500 years), 125 g of the parent isotope will remain. After 4 half-lives (2000 years), 62.5 g of the parent isotope will remain.
