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

Initial velocity (u) = 2 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 10 m/s^2

Time taken (t) = 4 s

Let the final velocity be v.

By using the equation,

v = u + at, we get

or, v = 2 + 10 × 4

or, v = 2 + 40

or, v = 42

The final velocity is 42 m/s.

5. What is the density of 4.5 mL of a liquid that has a mass of 1.3 grams?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A. 0.289g/mL

Explanation:

Using the equation for density which is d = m/v  or density = mass/volume, we input 1.3g/4.5mL and get 0.289g/mL.
