A car with a mass of 850kg is moving at a speed of 72km/h when colliding with a concrete wall until it stops. After the collisio
n, the car travels 2.0m before stopping. Determine the resultant of the forces acting on the car.
1 answer:
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.

Less because the ramp is letting off force but i does depend on the way you are going on the ramp
Answer:
No
Explanation:
The fastest recorded time for a person to run 100 metres is 9.58 seconds, which is the equivalent of 10.4 metres per second
psychologist counseling would be the correct answer I believe
Y - yo = Vo*t - g * (t^2) / 2
Vo = - 9.0 m/s
t = 0.50 s
=> y - yo = -9.0 m/s * 0.5 s - 9.8 m/s^2 * (0.5s)^2 / 2 = - 4.5m - 1.225m = - 5.725 m.
