Vehicles with high speeds have high momenta (plural of momentum). When they come to rest in very small time they experience high forces
we know that rate of change of momentum is force, lower the time higher is force. So, slow moving vehicles experience less force. It is important to note that if any one vehicle involving has high speed it can do more damage both the vehicles involving.

N 1800kg car has an<br> of 3.8m/s? What is it<br> on the car?<br> acceleration<br> force acting
nevsk [136]

Answer:

6840 N

Explanation:

The force acting on the car can be found by using Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on the car

m is the mass of the car

a is its acceleration

For the car in this problem,

m = 1800 kg

a=3.8 m/s^2

Substituting,

F=(1800)(3.8)=6840 N

Explain why wedges and screws are actually types of inclined planes.
slava [35]
<span>The screw is really just an inclined plane covered around with a tiny pole. The wedge is definitely an inclined plane, since it starts with a point, then rises getting thicker, as an inclined plane. </span>

What is the atomic mass of an element?
Alina [70]

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom, particle, or molecule. The atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the atom. For example, Oxygen has 8 protons (as seen by the atomic number) and 8 neutrons which gives oxygen an atomic mass of 16.
