During an automobile crash test, the average force exerted by a solid wall on a 1,700 kg car that hits the wall is measured to b

e 170,000 N over a 0.14 s time interval. What was the initial speed of the car (in m/s) prior to the collision, assuming the car is at rest at the end of the time interval

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

Step One:

Given data:

mass of automobile m= 1700kg

Force F= 170,000 N

time t= 0.14s

v= ??

Required

The velocity of the car

Step two:

From the expression given below, we can find the velocity

Ft= mv

make v subject of the formula

v= Ft/m

v= 170000*0.14/1700

v=23800/1700

v=14 m/s

k0ka [10]
Pressure is given by:
P=F/A
force=1200*10=12000 N
Area=pi*r^2=3.14*0.15^2
=0.07065 m^2
Thus;
P=12000/0.7065
P=169,851.38 N/m^2
but
1 N/m^2=1 Pa
thus our pressure is:
169,851.38 Pa

True or false: (a) Maxwell's equations apply only to fields that are constant over time.(b) The wave equation can be derived fro
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

(a) False

(b) True

(c) True

(d) True

(e) True

(f) True

Explanation:

(a) Maxwell's equations not only applies to constant fields but it applies to both the fields, i.e., Time variant field as well as Time Invariant field.

(b) We make use of the Modified form of the Ampere's law and Faraday's Law to derive the wave equation.

(c) Electromagnetic waves contains both the electric and magnetic fields and these fields oscillates at an angle of 90^{\circ}C to the direction of wave propagation.

(d) In free space both the electric and magnetic fields are in phase while considering electromagnetic waves.

(e) In free space or vacuum, the expression for the speed of light in terms of electric and magnetic field is given as:

c = \frac{E}{B}

Thus the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic field vectors are equal to the speed of light in free space.

(f) In free space or in vacuum the energy density of the electromagnetic wave is divided equally in both the fields and hence are equal.

The fishing pole shown here is an example of a lever. Which statement describes the fishing pole's mechanical advantage?
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The person will exert a much larger force to take a fish out of the water than the fish itself weighs. The advantage of the fishing pole, however, is that it moves the fish a large distance, from the water to the boat or the shore.

A surveyor is using a magnetic compass 6.4 m below a power line in which there is a steady current of 120 A. (a) What is the mag
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to a long current carrying conductor

μ₀ / 4π x 2i / r  ( i = current , r = distance of point from wire )

= 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 120 / 6.4  ( i = 120 A , r = 6.4m )

= 37.5 x 10⁻⁷ T .

= 3. 75 X 10⁻⁶ T .

= 3.75 µT.

b )

The direction of this field will be horizontal hence it will affect magnetic needle.
