Answer:

Explanation:

The vehicle is experiencing a large force created by the concrete wall.

Equation

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a * d

Givens

vf = 0   The car eventually does stop.

vi = 72 km/hr * [ 1000 m/  km] * [1 hour / 3600 seconds]

vi = 20 meters / second

a = ?

m = 850 kg

Solution

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2a*d

0 = 20 m/s + 2* 2 *a

-20 m/s = 4a

-20/4 =   a

a = - 5 m/s^2   The minus sign tells you the vehicle is slowing down. It sure should be.

Force = m * a

F = - 850 * (-5)

F =  - 4250 N

The car provides a 4250 N force on it going east to west and a 4250 N force going from west to east provided by the concrete wall.

Define time in related with gravity. ​
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The gravitational field is really a curving of space and time. The stronger the gravity, the more spacetime curves, and the slower time itself proceeds.Time itself is slowing down and speeding up because of the relativistic way in which mass warps space and time.

A squirrel runs along an overhead telephone wire that stretches from the top of one pole to the next. It is initially at positio
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

- 3.46 m

Explanation:

initial position, xi = 3.37 m

displacement, Δx = - 6.83 m

Let the final position is xf.

So, displacement = final position - initial position

Δx = xf - xi

- 6.83 = xf - 3.37

xf = 3.37- 6.83

xf = - 3.46 m

Thus, the final position of the squirrel is - 3.46 m.
