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

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.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

answer is 10km

Explanation:

use "S =Ut "

S=distance U=velocity t =time

no need to convert time into seconds as the velocity has given in meters per minute

Describe a situation in which you can accelerate even though your speed doesn’t change.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Acceleration is not the same as speeding up. It refers to any modification of motion's direction or speed. Accelerated motion is any movement that is not constant speed in a straight line.

<h3>What is meant by acceleration?</h3>

The rate at which an object's velocity for time changes is referred to as acceleration in mechanics. They are vector quantities and accelerations. The direction of the net force acting on an object determines the direction of its acceleration.

An object's velocity can alter depending on whether it moves faster or slower or in a different direction. A falling apple, the moon orbiting the earth, and a car stopped at a stop sign are a few instances of acceleration.

The rate at which velocity changes is called acceleration. Acceleration typically indicates a change in speed, but not necessarily. An item that follows a circular course while maintaining a constant speed is still moving forward because the direction of its motion is shifting.

To learn more about acceleration refer to:

The light at an intersection is red and a police officer directs you to go through the intersection. what should you do?
Alex777 [14]

Go through the intersection without stopping is the appropriate action to be taken in a case where the light at an intersection is red and a police officer directs you to go through it.

<h3>What is Traffic light?</h3>

This is also referred to as stoplights and is present in the intersection of roads etc so as to help control traffic and prevent the occurrences of accidents on the road.

In cases where there is no officer, the traffic light must be obeyed but where the officer is present then his authority overrules and must be obeyed as he is in the best position to know the reason why the traffic light should be ignored in this type of scenario.

This is therefore the reason why the individual should go through the intersection without stopping.
