A 4,000-kg car traveling at 20m/s hits a wall with a force of 80,000 N and comes to a stop. What was the impact time?

Rate of change of momentum = impact force
(m*v-m*u)/t = F
4000*20/t = 80000 (note: v is zero as it stopped)
<span>soo, t = 1 sec</span>

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path, it has a velocity of 34.5

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the airplane. u = 34.5 m/s

distance traveled by the airplane, s = 46,100 m

final velocity of the airplane, v = 40.7 m/s

The acceleration of the airplane is calculated from the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2as

$2as= v^2 - u^2\\\\a = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2s} \\\\a = \frac{(40.7)^2 -(34.5)^2}{2 \times 46,100} \\\\a = 5.06 \ \times \ 10^{-3} \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²

A 3 kg penguin is pushed by his penguin friends who give him an initial speed vo at the top of a 30 m hill. The penguin is hopin

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

This question can be answered by using conversation of energy.

$K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^2 + mgh_1 = 0 + mgh_2$

$\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 + (3)(9.8)(30) = (3)(9.8)(45)\\\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 = 441\\v_0^2 = 294\\v_0 = 17.14 m/s$

Explanation:

Note that we take $K_2 = 0$ because we are looking for the minimum initial speed for the penguin to reach the top of the second hill. Any other speed more than this will already be enough for him.

How can you use tweezers to separate a mixture

drek231 [11]

Hi, this sounds like a chemistry question:
If you wanted to separate sand from iron fillings for example, using tweezers would be a great tool to do this, depending on the size of the iron fillings.
