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 65-kg bungee jumper, who is attached to one end of an 85-m long bungee cord that has its other end tied to a bridge, jumps off
irinina [24]

Answer:

The impulse delivered to the bungee jumper is 1.32 kN.s

Explanation:

The situation can be shown graphically as shown in the figure.

Impulse delivered to the bungee jumper = Area under the curve.

The curve represents a triangle and the area of traiangle = (1/2)base×height

The base of the triangle from the graph = 1.2 seconds.

The height of the triangle from the graph = 2.2 kN

Thus,

<u>Impulse = (1/2)×(1.2 seconds)×(2.2 kN) = 1.32 kN.s</u>

Two lightweight rods 24 cm in length are mounted perpendicular to an axle and at 180 ∘ to each other. At the end of each rod is
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Angular momentum ( L ) = moment of inertia x angular velocity ( I X ω )

Moment of inertia of two  480 g masses about axle = 2 x mr²  = 2 x 480 x10⁻³ x( 24 x 10 ⁻ 2 )²  = 0. 552960  kg m².

Angular velocity = 5 rad / s.

Angular momentum = 0.552960 x 5 = 2.765 kg m2.

The direction of angular momentum will be along axle.So vector angular

momentum  makes zero degree  with axle.

Describe how work is done by a skater pulling in her arms during a spin. In particular, identify the force she exerts on each ar
liberstina [14]

Answer:

 ∑ τ =0,  L₀ = L_{f}

Explanation:

In a circular turning movement, when the arms are extended and then contracted in two possibilities:

- They are lowered the force of gravity is what pulls them, the tension of the muscle becomes zero to allow this movement.

    In this movement the force is vertical(gravity) and the movement of the center of mass of each arm is vertical, so that the work is the weight value of the arm by the distance traveled by the center of mass.

- Another possibility is that the arms have stuck to the body, in this case the person's muscles perform the force, this force is horizontal and the displacement is the horizontal of the center of mass of the arms from the extended position to the contracted

 

In these movements the torque of the external force is equal for each arm, but in the opposite direction, so they are canceled where a net torque of zero, this causes the angular momentum to be preserved, which changes is the moment of inertia of the system and therefore you must also change the angular velocity to keep your product constant

          ∑ τ =0

                L₀ = L_{f}

              I₀ w₀ = I w

A 1425 kg truck driving at 13.0 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 1175 kg car. If the car is traveling 14.25 m/s just a
TEA [102]

Answer:

1.25 m/s

Explanation:

m1v1+m2v2=m1v1f+m2v2f

(1425*13)+(1175*0)=(1425*v1f)+(1175*14.25)

18525+0=1425(v1f)+16743.75

1781.25=1425(v1f)

v1f=1.25 m/s
