Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed = (27 - 0) = 27 m/s
Time for the change = 10 s

Magnitude of acceleration = (27 m/s) / (10 s) = 2.7 m/s² .

A family car has a mass of 1400 kg. In an accident it hits a wall and goes from a speed of 27 m/s to a standstill in 1.5 seconds

Answer:

The force has been reduced by 8018 N

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the car during the crash is equal to the product of the force exerted and the duration of the collision, and it is also equal to the change in momentum of the car. So we can write:

$F\Delta t = m\Delta v$

where:

F is the force exerted on the car

$\Delta t$ is the duration of the collision

m = 1400 kg is the mass of the car

$\Delta v=-27 m/s$ is the change in velocity of the car

We can re-write the equation as

$F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

In the 1st collision, the time is 1.5 seconds, so the force is

$F_1=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{1.5}=-25,200 N$

In the 2nd collision, the time is increased to 2.2 seconds, so the force is

$F_2=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{2.2}=-17,182 N$

Therefore, the force has been reduced by:

$F_2-F_1=-17,182-(-25,200)=8018 N$

Imagine you have just witnessed a small avalanche on a mountain while skiing, and two slushy snowballs just crashed together in

inn [45]

We have that the momentum p is given by the formula p=mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity. Since for A p=-14kgm/s and m=7, we have that the velocity is -14/7=-2m/s. Hence its speed is 2 m/s.
For b we have that p=15kgm/s and v=3m/s. Because m=p/v, we have m=3kg.
We also have that the momentum is conserved in this system. Hence, the net sum of the momentum of the 2 snowballs equals the momentum of the single giant ball. Hence, p(total)=p(combined)=-14+15=1kgm/s (momentum is a vector; the positive sign means that it tends to the positive direction).

Tina is driving her sports car down US1, traveling 27m/s. She sees her friend Rita up ahead, waiting to cross the street at the

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

434 Hz

Explanation:

According to the Doppler effect, when a source of a wave is moving towards an observer at rest, then the observer will observe an apparent frequency which is higher than the original frequency of the source.

In this situation, Tina is driving towards Rita. Tina is the source of the sound wave (the horn), while RIta is the observer. Since the original frequency of the sound is 400 Hz, Rita will hear a sound with a frequency higher than this value.

The only choice which is higher than 400 Hz is 434 Hz, so this is the frequency that Rita will hear.
