An increase in average speed of 1 km/h typi- cally results in a 3% higher risk of a crash involving injury, with a 4–5% increase for crashes that result in fatalities. — Speed also contributes to the severity of the impact when a collision does occur. Hope this helps!

a water balloon is thrown a target at 18 m/s. if the water balloon has a mass of 0.4 kg, what is the momentum?
Arada [10]

The momentum of the water balloon at the given speed is 7.2 kgm/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Speed of the water balloon, v = 18 m/s</em>
  • <em>Mass of the balloon, m = 0.4 kg</em>

The momentum of the water balloon is calculated as follows;

P = mv

<em>Substitute the given values of </em><em>mass </em><em>and </em><em>velocity </em><em>as follows;</em>

P = 0.4 x 18

P = 7.2 kg m/s.

Thus, the momentum of the water balloon at the given speed is 7.2 kgm/s.

A merry-go-round at a playground is a circular platform that is mounted parallel to the ground and can rotate about an axis that
julsineya [31]

Since angular speed is persistent, v/r is constant.
Where:

 v is tangential speed; and

 r is distance from axis.

 

Then equate v/r in both cases to get v in the second case.

Hence, speed = 2.2 x 2.1 / 1.4 meters

= 3.3 meters / seconds

 

Alternative solution would be:

w = 2.2 / 1.4 = 1.57

v = rw = 2.1 x 1.57 = 3.3 meters / seconds

A railroad car moving at a speed of 3.46 m/s overtakes, collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars moving in the same d
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

2.09\ \text{m/s}

22298.4\ \text{J}

Explanation:

m = Mass of each the cars = 1.6\times 10^4\ \text{kg}

u_1 = Initial velocity of first car = 3.46 m/s

u_2 = Initial velocity of the other two cars = 1.4 m/s

v = Velocity of combined mass

As the momentum is conserved in the system we have

mu_1+2mu_2=3mv\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{u_1+2u_2}{3}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3.46+2\times 1.4}{3}\\\Rightarrow v=2.09\ \text{m/s}

Speed of the three coupled cars after the collision is 2.09\ \text{m/s}.

As energy in the system is conserved we have

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mu_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}2mu_2^2-\dfrac{1}{2}3mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 3.46^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 1.4^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 2.09^2\\\Rightarrow K=22298.4\ \text{J}

The kinetic energy lost during the collision is 22298.4\ \text{J}.
