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.

A 2 kg ball is dropped above the surface of Planet X. If the gravitational field strength at the surface of Planet X is 5 N/kg,
Trava [24]

Given data:

* The mass of the ball is 2 kg.

* The gravitational field strength at the surface of planet X is 5 N/kg.

Solution:

The weight of the ball on the planet X is,

W=ma

where m is the mass of ball, a is the gravitational field strength,

Substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} W=2\times5 \\ W=10\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Thus, the weight of the ball on the surface of planet X is 10 N.

Explain why ice floats in water. Explain why ice floats in water. Steam is more dense than water. Ice is the same density as wat
Pani-rosa [81]

Hey how's your day going

I hope after I answer that you understand and don't just paste my answer into your assignment!!! (<- read!!!)

Answer \|/

             

Ice is less dense than water.

Reason why \|/

                   

When water freezes the molecules inside completely stop moving (They still vibrate but don't change their position much). In doing so, they spread out a touch which makes it less dense than liquid water. So ice floats

If a neutral metal comb is held near an object with a negative charge, the Como become charged by
LenKa [72]
The local charging of the comb is due to induction. The negative object's charge pushes electrons in the comb away from the side close to the charged object causing that part to be positively charged. Note that the comb's net charge is still zero provided it doesn't touch the object. When you move the comb away its electrons will redistribute.

Two teams are playing tug of war. Team A pulls to the right with a force of 450 N. Team B pulls to the left with a force of 415
motikmotik

Answer:

35 N to the right.

Explanation:

450 is going to the right so you subtract what is going against it. Which gives you 35. And because 450 is bigger than 415, it'll be going to the right.
