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.

scoundrel [369]
H = 11 m, the vertical distance that the bullet falls.
Initial vertical velocity  = 0
Horizontal velocity  = 144.7 m/s

The time, t, taken to fall 11 m is given by
(1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)² = (11 m)
4.9t² = 11
t = 1.4983 s

If aerodynamic resistance is ignored, the horizontal distance traveled before the bullet hits the ground is
d = (144.7 m/s)*(1.4983 s) = 216.8 m

Answer: 216.8 m

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

α = 3×10^-5 K^-1

Explanation:

let ΔL be the change in length of the bar of metal, ΔT be the change in temperature, L be the original length of the metal bar and let α be the coefficient of linear expansion.

then, the coefficient of linear expansion is given by:

α = ΔL/(ΔT×L)

   = (0.3×10^-3)/(100)(100×10^-3)

   = 3×10^-5 K^-1

Therefore, the coefficient of linear expansion is 3×10^-5 K^-1
