Explanation:
Crumple zones are sections in cars that are designed to crumple up when the car encounters a collision. Crumple zones minimize the effect of the force in an automobile collision in two ways. By crumpling, the car is less likely to rebound upon impact, thus minimizing the momentum change and the impulse.
Answer:
D. The motion cannot be determined without knowing the speeds of the objects before the collision.
Explanation:
This question is tricky! We know the object moving to the left has a greater mass than the one moving to the right. We'd <em>assume</em> they would move to the left because the leftwards object has a greater mass, right?
Not. So. Fast.
We can solve for the objects' final velocity using the formula for momentum, m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v .
Now here's where the trap is sprung: <em>we don't think about the equation</em>. This shows that the final velocity of the objects and the direction depends on both the mass of the objects <em>and</em> their initial velocity.
Basically, what if the 3 kg object is moving at 1 m/s and the 4 kg object is moving at –0.5 m/s? The objects would move to the <em>right</em> after the collision!
Do we know the velocity of these objects? No, right?
That means we <em>can't</em> determine the direction of their motion <u>unless we know their initial, pre-collision velocity</u>. This question is tricky because we look at the 4 kg vs. 3 kg and automatically assume the 4 kg object would dictate the direction of motion. That's not true. It depends on velocity as well.
I hope this helps you! Have a great day!
Answer:
Explanation:
Mass of ice m = 500g = .5 kg
Heat required to raise the temperature of ice by 10 degree
= mass of ice x specific heat of ice x change in temperature
= .5 x 2093 x 10 J
10465 J
Heat required to melt the ice
= mass of ice x latent heat
0.5 x 334 x 10³ J
167000 J
Heat required to raise its temperature to 18 degree
= mass x specific heat of water x rise in temperature
= .5 x 4182 x 18
=37638 J
Total heat
=10465 +167000+ 37638
=215103 J
Answer:
T= 1 s
Explanation:
Given that
When x= cm ,T= 1
we know that time period of spring mas system given as
T= Time period
m= mass
k=spring constant
So from above equation we can say that time period of system does not depends on the value of x.
So when x= 10 cm ,still time period will be 1 s.
T= 1 s
