Calculate the force generated by a car that hits the wall at an

Physics

Makovka662 [10]3 years ago

This is a defective question. It was WRITTEN by someone who is unclear on the concepts.  DON'T try and answer it.

It's trying to get us to use Newton's second law ... F = m • a.

But that only tells us how much force must act ON THE CAR in order to accelerate it. (45 kg) • (4 m/s^2) = 180 newtons.

This is NOT the force exerted BY the car when it hits something. THAT force depends on its speed WHEN it hits, AND how long it takes for the wreckage to actually come to rest, AND how hard or soft the wall is.

DON'T try to answer this question. Your answer will be wrong, you won't understand why, and the teacher you try to argue with probably won't either.

============================================

More explanation:

Think about jumping off of a ladder in your back yard.  Several times.

Your mass is the same every time.  Your acceleration is the same every time . . . 9.8 m/s² down, the acceleration of Earth gravity, every time.

BUT ...

-- I'll bet you would rather land on wood than on concrete. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather land on dirt than on wood. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather land on grass than on dirt. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather land on a pile of blankets than on dirt. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather land on a trampoline than on a pile of blankets. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather jump from a short ladder than from a tall one.  Your speed would be less when you landed, and the force of landing would be less.

==> Your mass is the SAME every time, and your acceleration is the SAME every time.  But the force when you hit is DIFFERENT every time.

The mass and acceleration of the car DON'T tell us the force of the hit when the car hits a wall.

Answer:

Option B

a=19 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Given information

Radius of container, r=12cm=12/100=0.12m

Angular velocity= 2 rev/s, converted to rad/s we multiply by 2π

Angular velocity, \omega=2*2\pi =12.56637061

We know that speed, v=r\omega

Centripetal acceleration, a=\frac {v^{2}}{r} and substituting v=r\omega we obtain that

a=r\omega^{2}

Substituting \omega for 12.56637061  and r for 0.12

a=0.12*(12.56637061)^{2}=18.94964045 m/s^{2}

Rounded off, a=19 m/s^{2}

How much total energy is dissipated in 10. seconds
noname [10]

Answer : Total energy dissipated is 10 J

Explanation :

It is given that,

Time. t = 10 s

Resistance of the resistors, R = 4-ohm

Current, I = 0.5 A

Power used is given by :

P=\dfrac{E}{t}

Where

E is the energy dissipated.

So, E = P t.............(1)

Since, P=I^2R

So equation (1) becomes :

E=I^2Rt

E=(0.5\ A)^2\times 4\Omega \times 10\ s

E=10\ J

So, the correct option is (3)

Hence, this is the required solution.

NEWTONS SECOND LAW LAB REPORT
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.

Explanation:
