Using your knowledge of momentum explain why cars are designed to have crumple zones?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: I think cars are designed to have crumble zone because lets say you're going 60-70 mph and you hit a brick wall that cant move, it would be a very hard jolt causing the beings inside to get thrown forward, but if it has a crumble zone it would slow the the jolt from is slowing down in the hit.

Ships A and B leave port together. For the next two hours, ship A travels at 40.0 mph in a direction 35.0° west of north while t

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Ship A velocity is 40 mph and is traveling 35 west of north

Therefore in 2 hours it will travel $40\times 2=80 miles$

thus its position vector after two hours is

$r_A=-80sin35\hat{i}+80cos35\hat{j}$

similarly B travels with 20 mph and in 2 hours

$=20\times 2=40 miles Its position vector[tex]r_B=40sin80\hat{i}+40cos80\hat{j}$

Thus distance between A and B is

$r_{AB}=\left ( -40sin80-80sin35\right )\hat{i}+\left ( 80cos35-40cos80\right )\hat{j}$

$|r_{AB}|=\sqrt{\left ( -40sin80-80sin35\right )^2+\left ( 80cos35-40cos80\right )^2}$

$|r_{AB}|=103.45 miles$

Velocity of A

$v_A=-40sin35\hat{i}+40cos35\hat{j}$

Velocity of B

$v_B=20sin80\hat{i}+20cos80\hat{j}$

Velocity of A w.r.t B

$v_{AB}=v_A-v_B$

$v_{AB}=\left ( -20sin80-40sin35\right )\hat{i}+\left ( 40cos35-20cos80\right )\hat{j}$

A bicyclist in the Tour de France crests a mountain pass as he moves at 18 km/h. At the bottom, 4.0 km farther, his speed is at

Allisa [31]

We are given:

v0 = initial velocity = 18 km/h

d = distance = 4 km

v = final velocity = 75 km/h

a =?

We can solve this problem by using the formula:

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 a d

75^2 = 18^2 + 2 (a) * 4

5625 = 324 + 8a

a = 662.625 km/h^2

assume the suns total energy output is 4.0 * 10^26 watts, and 1 watt is 1 joule/second. assume 4.3 * 10^-12 J is released from e

Answer:

$9.3\cdot 10^{37}$

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy produced (E) per unit of time (t):

$P= \frac{E}{t}$

This means that the energy produced in the Sun each second (1 s), given the power $P=4.0\cdot 10^{26}W$ , is

$E=Pt=(4.0\cdot 10^{26}W)(1s )=4.0\cdot 10^{26} J$

Each p-p chain reaction produces an amount of energy of

$E_1 = 4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J$

in order to get the total number of p-p chain reactions per second, we need to divide the total energy produced per second by the energy produced by each reaction:

$n=\frac{E}{E_1}=\frac{4.0\cdot 10^{26} J}{4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J}=9.3\cdot 10^{37}$
