What is a device that minimizes the force on a microscopic object during a collision?

An impact which stops a moving object must do enough work to take away its kinetic energy, so extending the distance moved during the collision reduces the impact force.

An unbalanced force of 20 N is applied to a 4.0 kg mass at rest. What is the
inna [77]

Answer:

<h2>5 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

We have

a =  \frac{20}{4}  = 5 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>5 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A shopper weighs 4.00 kg of apples on a supermarket scale whose spring obeys Hooke's law and notes that the spring stretches a d
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

a) 0.040625 m

b) 5.02272 J

Explanation:

k = Spring constant

x = Stretched length

F = Force

a)

F=kx\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{F}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{4\times 9.81}{0.025}\\\Rightarrow k=1569.6\ N/m

F=kx\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{F}{k}\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{6.5\times 9.81}{1569.6}\\\Rightarrow x=0.040625\ m

Extension of the spring would be 0.040625 m

b) Work done in a spring

W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow W=\frac{1}{2}\times 1569.6\times 0.08^2\\\Rightarrow W=5.02272\ J

The work done by the shopper to stretch this spring a total distance of 8.00 cm is 5.02272 J

A car speeds past a stationary police officer while traveling 135 km/h. the officer immediately begins pursuit at a constant acc
kykrilka [37]

(a) The time it takes for the police officer to catch up to the speeding car is determined as 0.31 s.

(b) The speed of the police officer  at the time he catches up to the driver is 136.8 km/h.

<h3>Time of motion of the police</h3>

The time taken for the police to catch up with the driver is calculated as follows;

v = at

where;

  • a is acceleration = 11.8 km/h/s, = 3.278 m/s²
  • v is velocity = 135 km/h = 37.5 m/s

t = v/a

t = 37.5/3.278

t = 11.4 seconds

(v1 - v2)t = ¹/₂at² --- (1)

(v1 - v2)t = v1²/2a --- (2)

From (1):

(v1 - 37.5)t = ¹/₂(3.278)t²

(v1 - 37.5)t = 1.639t²

v1 - 37.5 = 1.639t

v1 = 1.639t + 37.5  -----(3)

From (2):

(v1 - 37.5)t = v1²/(2 x 3.278)

(v1 - 37.5)t = 0.153 ----- (4)

solve 3 and 4;

(1.639t + 37.5 - 37.5)t = 0.153

1.639t² = 0.153

t² = 0.0933

t = 0.31 s

<h3>Speed of the police officer</h3>

v1 = 1.639(0.31) + 37.5 = 38 m/s = 136.8 km/h
