False: because atoms are base on the elements on the periodic table.
They need to touch each other. Equilibrum, is when two things touch that arent the same heat, once they touch, they are equal in temperature, so they need to touch. hope i helped :D
Answer: the effective design stiffness required to limit the bumper maximum deflection during impact to 4 cm is 3906250 N/m
Explanation:
Given that;
mass of vehicle m = 1000 kg
for a low speed test; V = 2.5 m/s
bumper maximum deflection = 4 cm = 0.04 m
First we determine the energy of the vehicle just prior to impact;
W_v = 1/2mv²
we substitute
W_v = 1/2 × 1000 × (2.5)²
W_v = 3125 J
now, the the effective design stiffness k will be:
at the impact point, energy of the vehicle converts to elastic potential energy of the bumper;
hence;
W_v = 1/2kx²
we substitute
3125 = 1/2 × k (0.04)²
3125 = 0.0008k
k = 3125 / 0.0008
k = 3906250 N/m
Therefore, the effective design stiffness required to limit the bumper maximum deflection during impact to 4 cm is 3906250 N/m
