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

Physics

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.

A refrigerator is being pulled up a ramp with a horizontal force P, which acts at the top corner. The refrigerator has a mass of
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(a) P = 459.055 N.

(b) the refrigerator tips.

Explanation:

Given, the angle of ramp is 20°.

When the weight of refrigerator is resolved in directions parallel and perpendicular to ramp, 75×g×sin(20°) and 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ normal contact force is 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ frictional force is 0.3×75×g×cos(20°) = 207.414 N

so, total opposite force is 207.414 + 75×g×sin(20°) = 459.055 N.

so, the force needed is P = 459.055 N

And as the moment due to both opposite force and P force are in same direction the refrigerator tips rather than just sliding.

As a laudably skeptical physics student, you want to test Coulomb's law. For this purpose, you set up a measurement in which a p
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of each force is 2.45 x 10⁻¹⁶ N

Explanation:

The charge of proton, +q = 1.603 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The charge of electron, -q = 1.603 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Distance between the two charges, r = 971 nm = 971 x 10⁻⁹ m

Apply Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

where;

k is Coulomb's constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q₁ and q₂ are the charges of proton and electron respectively

F is the magnitude of force between them

Substitute in the given values and solve for F

F = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(1.603*10^{-19})^2}{(971*10^{-9})^2} \\\\F = 2.45*10^{-16} \ N

Therefore, the magnitude of each force is 2.45 x 10⁻¹⁶ N
