A car moving at 60 mph slams on its brakes to stop before hitting a deer. Another identical car traveling at 60 mph slows to a s

Happy Holidays!

Recall that:

Impulse = Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

Since both cars are identical and have the same initial velocity of 60 mph, them breaking to a stop means that they both experience the same change in velocity.

Thus, both of the cars' impulses are equal.

wariber [46]

Answer:

Car 1 and Car 2 have the same momentum!

Explanation:

Using the formula of momentum (P=m*v), we get for each car:

Car 1: 5kg*2.2m/s = 11kg*m/s

Car 2: 5.5kg*2m/s = 11kg*m/s

Car 3: 6kg*1.35m/s = 8.1kg*m/s

Car 4: 6.5kg*1.9m/s = 12.35kg*m/s

Car 5: 7kg*1.25m/s = 8.75kg*m/s

A piece of iron sinks to the bottom of a lake where the pressure is 21 times what it is at the surface of the lake. Which statem
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

A or B depending on your precision

Explanation:

In real life, applying to solid will shrink it depending on the amount of pressure applied, but due to the strength of solid bonds, the volume change is often negligible in practical situation and would only be accounted under astronomically high pressure phenomena (eg. at Jupiter's core or near black hole).

In high school level, and for many applications, it is entirely viable to completely neglect the change in solid volume under pressure. Thus, A is a legitimate answer. However, bear in mind that <em>in theory</em> the volume still decreases by a very slight amount. So B is correct as well, theoretically. The most correct option depends on the precision you needed.
