In a test of an energy-absorbing bumper, a 2800-lb car is driven into a barrier at 5 mi/h. The duration of the impact is 0.4 sec

onds. When the car rebounds from the barrier [in the opposite direction], the magnitude of its velocity is 1.5 mi/h. Use the principle of impulse and momentum to determine the magnitude of the average horizontal force (lb) exerted on the car during the impact.

Answer:

F = 2074.13 lb

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car, m = 2800 lb = 1270.059 kg

Initial speed, u = 5 mi/h = 2.2352 m/s

Final speed, v = - 1.5 mi/h = -0.67056 m/s  (in opposite direction)

Time, t = 0.4 s

We need to find the magnitude of the average horizontal force (lb) exerted on the car during the impact. It can be calculated as :

F=m\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\F=1270.059\times \dfrac{-0.67056 -2.2352 }{0.4}\\\\F=9226.21\ N

or

F = -2074.13 lb

So, the required force is 2074.13 lb.

A 1.1 kg hammer strikes a nail. Before the impact, the hammer is moving at 4.5 m/s; after the impact it is moving at 1.5 m/s in
Talja [164]

Answer:

132 N

Explanation:

Given that a  1.1 kg hammer strikes a nail. Before the impact, the hammer is moving at 4.5 m/s; after the impact it is moving at 1.5 m/s in the opposite direction. If the hammer is in contact with the nail for 0.025 s, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the hammer on the nail

From Newton 2nd law of motion,

Change in momentum = impulse.

Change in momentum = m( V - U )

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

Change in momentum = 1.1 ( 4.5 - 1.5 )

Change in momentum = 1.1 × 3

Change in momentum = 3.3 kgm/s

Impulse = Ft

That is,

Ft = 3.3

Substitute time t into the formula above

F × 0.025 = 3.3

F = 3.3 / 0.025

F = 132 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average force exerted by the hammer on the nail is 132 N.

Describe the benefits and risks associated with nuclear energy.
Ulleksa [173]

Producing nuclear energy is far more environmentally friendly than burning fossil fuels. That is the main benefit.

The main risk is radiation. If the nuclear waste is not properly disposed of, it can leak radiation into the environment. Fortunately, this is not an issue since there are ways to deal with it. There is also the risk of a disaster like the Chernobyl incident, however that was mostly due to faulty reactor construction. However, reactors today are built to avoid such issues.

Two small conducting point charges, separated by 0.4 m, carry a total charge of 200 C. They repel one another with a force of 12
Lunna [17]

Answer:

200 C

Explanation:

Let C1 and C2 be their charges. According to Coulomb's law

F_C = k\frac{C_1C_2}{R^2}

where k = 8.99\times10^9 nm^2/C^2 is the constant, R = 0.4m is the distance between them, F = 120 N is their resulting charge force

120 = 8.99\times10^9\frac{C_1C_2}{0.4^2}

C_1C_2 = \frac{120*0.4^2}{8.99\times10^9} = 2.13\times10^{-9}

Since their total charge is 200C:

C_1 + C_2 = 200 or C_1 = 200 - C_2

We can substitute the above equation

C_1C_2 = (200 - C_2)C_2 = 2.13\times10^{-9}

-C_2^2 +200C_2 - 2.13\times10^{-9} = 0

C= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

C= \frac{-200\pm \sqrt{(200)^2 - 4*(-1)*(-0.00000000213)}}{2*(-1)}

C= \frac{-200\pm200}{-2}

C = 1.06 \times 10^{-11} or C \approx 200

So the larger charge is C = 200 C
