To cut down on injuries, a highway guardrail is designed to be moved a maximum of 0.05 meters when struck by a car. What is the

value of the force constant of the material in the guardrail if it is to withstand the impact of a 1250-kg car traveling at 4.16 m/s ?

Answer:

216.32kN

Explanation:

Force can be expressed according to the formula;

Force = mass ×acceleration

Given

Mass = 1250kg

Velocity = 4.16m/s

Distance = 0.05m

We can get the acceleration first using the equation of motion

v² = u²+2as

4.16² = 0²+2a(0.05)

17.3056 = 0.1a

a = 17.3056/0.1

a = 173.056m/s²

Get the force required

Force = 1250×173.056

Force = 216,320N

Force = 216.32kN

Hence the force constant of the material is 216.32kN

At what rate is thermal energy being generated in the 2R-resistor when  = 12 V and R = 3.0 ?
evablogger [386]

If there's nothing else connected to the battery except the 3-ohm resistor, then the question is defective and the correct answer is not on the list.

With 12v connected across the resistor, the current through the resistor is

I = (E/R) = (12/3) = 4 Amperes.

The power generated inside a resistor is

P = (E x I) = (12v) x (4 A) = 48 watts

Cecily is inflating one of her bicycle tyres with the pump below. When she pushes the plunger down, does the volume of the gas i
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

This problem can be better understood graphically, so in the attached image we will use a diagram of a positive displacement air pump.

We can see that when she pushes the plunger, we see that the volume decreases.

Refraction:
Novay_Z [31]
Refraction is caused by any wave crossing the boundary out of one substance and into another one. The two different substances may be no more than two parcels of air at different temperatures.

What is the acceleration of a 10kg mass pushed by a 5N force?​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

<h2>0.5 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

From the question we have

a =  \frac{5}{10} =  \frac{1}{2}   \\  = 0.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.5 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

Convection currents produce the heat in the Earth’s interior.
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Convection currents do not produce heat. In fact, convection current are a method of transfer of heat, not of production. Convection occurs when there is a fluid which is heated from bottom, from an external source of heat (such as a pot of boiling water over a flame): the bottom part of the fluid becomes warmer, and so less dense than the colder part, therefore it starts moving up, and it is replaced by the colder parts of the fluid, which go down. Later, these colder parts become warmer, so they start going up, being replaced by new colder parts, etc... in a cycle. This is known as convection current, but it requires an external source of heat, it does not produce heat by itself.
