How much force would is required to stop a 1200kg car in 2 seconds if the car is traveling at 22 m/s

Shalnov [3]3 years ago

Force required = F = ?

mass of the car = m = 1200 kg

initial velocity of the car = Vi = 10 m/sec

final velocity of the car = 0

time required to stop the car = t = 20 sec

Using Newton`s 2nd law of motion;

F = ma ………………………(1)

as a = Vf - Vi / t , put this value in equation (1)

F = m ( Vf - Vi /t ) ………………(2)

F = 1200 ( 0 - 10 /20) = - 600 N

here Negative sign shows that external force is acting in opposite direction of the motion to bring it to rest.

we can also calculate this force by using the relation

Rate of change of momentum = net force acting on the object …………(3)

m Vf - m Vi / t = net force acting on the object

m (Vf - Vi / t) = F

1200 ( 0 - 10 /20) = - 600 N = F

so, net force acting on the object =F = - 600 N

Locomotion in Metazoa is usually due to the contraction of what? a. Skeleton b. Muscle c. Skin d. Nerves
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: b. Muscles

A metazoa is a division of animal kingdom that includes all animals expect protozoa and sponges. Metazoa division includes multicelluar animals, which exhibit highly differentiated cells. They have muscular and nerve system and well coordinated tissues and organs. Locomotion requires a coordination activity of muscular, skeletal and neural system. It is mainly achieved by contraction and relaxation of muscles that occurs due to specialized muscle proteins named as actin and myosin which receives signals from nerves.

Hence, locomotion in metazoa is due to contraction of muscles.

3. A population of 820 insects lives in a 1.2-acre area. They gather nectar from a
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The plants have the higher population density. This is because, when compared with that of the insects, the number of plant species per acre area is higher; 2800 compared to 683.3

Explanation:

The number of individual species per unit area of land is known as the population density. Population density describes how crowded or spaced out a given species is in a particular area. The higher the population density, the more crowded the species are and vice versa. The formula for calculating population density is given as:

Population density = Number of species/land area

Population density of the insects = 820/1.2 = 683.3 insects/acre

Population density of the plants = 560/0.2 = 2800 plants/acre

Therefore, the plants have the higher population density.

This is because, when compared with that of the insects, the number of plant species per acre area is higher.

All large radioactive atoms decay into smaller atoms by releasing alpha particles. Each alpha particle has 2 protons, 2 neutrons
nataly862011 [7]
All large radioactive atoms decay into smaller atoms by emitting alpha particles which consists of two protons and two neutrons. An alpha particle can also be thought of as the nucleus of a helium atom and as such they are sometimes referred to as He2+ . The positive charge is due to the lack of two electrons.

<span>contractile vacuole

Contractile vacuoles are organelles that are responsible for excretion function. They perform osmoregulation which manages wastes, water and other needed materials in the cell. They are found in some prokaryoric organisms like the algae, protists, amoeba and other unicellular organisms.
