3. Automobile companies often test the safety of cars by putting them through crash tests to observe the integrity of the passen

ger compartment. If 1100kg car is sent toward a cement wall with a speed of15 m/s, an impact force of 185,000 N stops the car, how long does it take before the car is brought to a stop?​

Answer:

Time taken for car to stop = 0.89 seconds (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of car = 1100 kg

Speed of car = 15 m/s

Impact force = 185,000 N

Find:

Time taken for car to stop

Computation:

Change in momentum of car = M(v) - M(u)

Change in momentum of car = 1100(0) - 1100(15)

Change in momentum of car = -16,500

Time taken for car to stop = I Change in momentum of car I / Impact force

Time taken for car to stop = I-16,500I / 185,000

Time taken for car to stop = 0.89 seconds (Approx.)

A car is moving from rest and attained a velocity of 80 m/s. Calculate the acceleration of the car after 5 s?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

400 m/s

Explanation:

If it is moving at a velocity of 80 m/s from rest, then after 5 s it would be at 400 m/s.

80 x 5 = 400

what would someones mass be if their weight was 158.4? This is for science homework, they gave me a random weight # but no mass.
bekas [8.4K]

ON EARTH, every kilogram of mass weighs about 2.205 pounds.

So if you know the weight (in pounds), and you know that it was
weighed on Earth, you can simply divide the pounds by 2.205 ,
and you'll get the mass (in kilograms).

I can see that on this science homework, they used 2.2 for the weight
of 1 kilogram expressed in pounds.  So just divide the weight by 2.2
to get the mass in kilograms.

(The weight number they gave you is not so random.  :-)  )

if you wanted to increase the energy of a wave but you had to leave the wavelength the same what might you do ​
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Increase the amplitude

Explanation:

The energy conveyed by a wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude. Thus; E ∝ A²

This means that increasing the amplitude will lead to an increase in the energy.

Now, the amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave from it's highest point known as the peak, to the lowest point on the wave known as the trough whereas wavelength refers to the length of a wave from one peak to the next.

This means that increasing the amplitude has no effect on the wavelength.
