HELP!!!! FAST!!!! 20 POINTS!!!! You are a traffic accident investigator. You have arrived at the scene of an accident. Two truck

s of equal
mass (3,000 kg each) were involved in a rear-end accident at a stop sign. Here is what you know:
• Truck 1 started from rest at the top of a 22-meter hill and coasted toward the intersection.
.
Truck 2 was on a flat stretch of road at the bottom of the hill directly in front of Truck 1.
At the bottom of the hill, Truck 1 was going 20 m/s; Truck 2 was going 35 m/s.
.
There were no skid marks left by Truck 2. The collision occurred at the stop sign where Truck 2 had
stopped
• After the collision, both trucks moved together in the same direction at 10 m/s before slowly rolling
to a stop.
You must now push Truck 2, using 1,000 N of force, 8 meters off to the side of the road so no one
else gets hurt.
1. What was the potential energy of Truck 1 at the top of the hill? 2. What was the kinetic energy of each truck before the began braking? 3. A. How much energy did truck 1 lose from the top to the bottom of the hill? B. Where do you suppose that energy went?

Answer:

1) Kinetic energy of the truck 1 is 600,000 joules.

Kinetic energy of the truck 2 is 1,837,500 joules.

2 a)Potential energy of truck 1 is 646,800 Joules.

b) Energy lose by the truck 1 just got converted into heat and sound energy during the collision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the truck 1 and truck 2,m = 3000 kg

Velocity of the truck 1,  = = 20 m./s

Velocity of the truck 2, = 35 m./s

1. Kinetic energy of the truck 1:

Kinetic energy of the truck 2:

2.a) Energy loose by the truck 1:

Initial height of the truck on the hill = 22 m

At that height potential energy will be maximum:

Potential energy of truck 1 at that height =  

b) Energy lose by the truck 1 just got converted into heat and sound energy during the collision.

Match the following:Part A1. Transverse foramina present.2. No canals or foramen present. It articulates superiorly with the sac
Stels [109]

Answer:

1. Transverse foramina present: Cervical

2. No canals or foramen present. It articulates superiorly with the sacrum: Coccyx

3. Receive the most stress: Lumbar

4. Attach to ribs: Thoracic

5. Articulates with hip bones of the pelvis: Sacrum

Explanation:

The vertebral column is a <u>series of 33 bones called vertebrae</u> that play a key role in organ protection, movement of body, and overall support. The column has been divided into <u>5 different regions</u> with the number of bones.

<u><em>1. Cervical Vertebrate</em></u><u>:</u> These are the group of <u>seven vertebrae of the neck</u>, start immediately below the skull. Two cervical bones C1 and C2 are unique in function. They are responsible for the movement of the head.  They have <u>transverse foramina</u> which <u>gives passage to vertebral artery and vein</u>.

<em><u>2. Thoracic Vertebrae:</u></em> They are a group of twelve small bones that form the vertebral spine in the upper trunk. The function of the thoracic vertebrae is to articulate with ribs to produce the bony thorax.

<em><u>3. Lumbar Vertebrae: </u></em>This is the largest segment of the vertebral column that consists of 5 bones between the rib cage and pelvis. They <u>carry all of the upper body weight</u> providing flexibility and movement to the trunk region.  This is why it can <u>receive the most stress easily</u>.

<em><u>4. Sacrum Vertebrae: </u></em>There are 5 sacral vertebral fused bones. It <u>connects to the hip bones and play role in forming a strong pelvis</u>.

<em><u>5. coccyx Vertebrae:</u></em> These are a group of 4 fused bone. There is <u>no vertebral canal due to a lack of vertebral arches</u>. They <u>provide </u>an <u>attachment site for muscles</u> ligament and tendons. They also <u>play a role in stabilization and support</u> while sitting.

Gene testing is foolproof since it scans the building blocks of humans. Please select the best answer from the choices provided.
Harrizon [31]

False

reason -

Gene testing is not full proof as there are  possibilities of discrepancies in it based on the testing procedures used and the condition of sample. Since we human beings have the same genomic structure there are chances that our DNA may match with other people who do not share a heredity with our family. Basically statistical probability is used to determine probability of paternity, relationship of any kind etc. among two individuals . usually A 99% or higher percentage of probability is considered conclusive. and thus it gene testing can not be considered as full proof
