1. A truck with a mass of 8, 000 kg is traveling at 26.8 m/s when it hits the brakes. A.)What is the momentum of the truck befor

e it hits the brakes?
B.)The truck comes to a stop, losing all of that momentum. It takes 12.4 s for the truck to come to a
complete stop. How much force does it take to stop the truck?

Answer:

1. A.) The moment of the truck before it hits the brakes is 214,400 kg·m/s

B.) The force it takes to stop the truck is approximately 17,290.4 N

Explanation:

1. A.) The given parameters are;

The mass of the truck, m = 8,000 kg

The velocity of the truck when it hits the brakes, u = 26.8 m/s

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

The moment of the truck = The mass of the truck × The velocity of the truck

Therefore;

The moment of the truck before it hits the brakes = 8,000 kg × 26.8 m/s = 214,400 kg·m/s

B.) The amount of momentum lost when the truck comes to a stop = The initial momentum of the truck

The time it takes the truck to come to a complete stop, t = 12.4 s

The deceleration, "a" of the truck is given by the following kinematic equation of motion

v = u - a·t

Where;

v = The final velocity of the truck = 0 m/s

u = The initial velocity = 26.8 m/s

a = the deceleration of the truck

t = The time of deceleration of the truck = 12.4 s

Substituting the known values gives;

0 = 26.8 - a × 12.4

Therefore;

26.8 = a × 12.4

a = 26.8/12.4 ≈ 2.1613

The deceleration (negative acceleration) of the truck, a ≈ 2.1613 m/s²

Force = Mass × Acceleration

The force required to stop the truck = The mass pf the truck × The deceleration (negative acceleration) given to the truck

∴ The force it takes to stop the truck = 8,000 kg × 2.1613 m/s² ≈ 17,290.4 N.

1) What would the average acceleration be for a car at a stoplight that speeds up to 20 m/s in 10 seconds (in m/s^2)
Alexxx [7]
1.)
Velocity is in m/s, and acceleration is in m/s^2 like you said. Because of this, we can calculate this by dividing the speed by the time it took to get to that speed.
(20 meters/second) / 10 seconds = 2 meters/ second^2

2.)
Same thing with the first one.
(100 meters/second) / 4 seconds = 25 meters / seconds^2

Why are springs made of steel and not of copper.​
torisob [31]

Answer:

Springs are made of a variety of materials including copper and various forms of steel. The most common is high carbon steel as it is cheap, easy to work and a couple of other important properties.

Copper springs exist as well, but copper is more expensive than steel. However, in an environment where corrosion resistance is important, copper springs are a good alternative.

lutik1710 [3]
F=dP/dt.  So you want the momentum to change as slowly as possible in time to minimize the force.  So as you catch the egg, let your hand move backward with it for awhile, slowly bringing it to a stop.  If you hold your hand steady when you catch it the force due to the impact could break it.
