Highway safety engineers want to design roadside barriers that will crumple
in the event that a car drives off the road and collides with them, slowing
down the car more gradually. The average person has a mass of 68 kg and
travels on a highway at a velocity of 27 m/s. If the engineers know that the
maximum force that a person can safely withstand is 2180 N, approximately
how much time is required to crumple the barrier to safely slow the person
with this force?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]0.84\:\text{s}[/tex]

Explanation:

The impulse-momentum theorem states that the impulse on an object ([tex]F\Delta t[/tex]) is equal to the change in momentum of that object ([tex]\Delta p[/tex]).

Set up the following equation:

[tex]F\Delta t=\Delta p[/tex]

Solving for change in momentum:

The momentum of an object is equal to [tex]p=mv[/tex], where [tex]m[/tex] is the mass of the object and [tex]v[/tex] is the velocity of the object. Since the person's final velocity will be zero, their final momentum will also be zero. Therefore, the person's change in momentum is [tex]68\cdot 27-0=1836\:\text{kgm/s}[/tex].

Solving for time:

[tex]2180\cdot\Delta t = 1836,\\\Delta t =\frac{1836}{2180},\\\Delta t =\boxed{0.84\:\text{s}}[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

If the engineers know that the

If the engineers know that themaximum force that a person can safely withstand is 2180 N, approximately, 0.84 second is required to crumple the barrier to safely slow the person

Tyra made the following bar graph shown to represent the relative distances of four different astronomical bodies from Earth.

The title of the bar graph is Distance of Bodies in Space from Earth. Four bars are labeled A, B, C, and D. Bar C is the shortest. Bar D is about three times the size of bar C. Bar A is about six times the size of bar C. Bar B is about eight times the size of bar C.

If D represents Mercury, which of the following could be represented by B and C?

B could be Venus, and C could be the moon.
B could be the moon, and C could be Jupiter.
B could be Jupiter, and C could be the moon.

Answers

Answer: D

Choice A calls B the moon which is incredibly tiny compared to Venus so this is wrong, choice B calls B Venus which is a relatively small planet and C the moon... that is a bit overkill so no. Choice C says B is the moon and C is Jupiter, Jupiter being the largest planet this is a easy no, leaving D to be the only logical and correct answer.

When assessing energy resources, it is helpful to use a measure called EROI, which is ________.
A. energy returned plus energy invested
B. energy returned minus energy invested
C. energy returned divided by energy invested
D. money invested in extraction and processing minus income from sales

Answers

Answer: C. energy returned divided by energy invested.

Explanation:

The Energy Return on Investment (EROI) simply means the ratio of the amount of usable energy that is obtained from a particular resource to the amount of the energy that is being expended in order to produce the net amount of the energy.

When assessing energy resources, it is helpful to use a measure called EROI and this is the energy returned divided by energy invested.

Therefore, the correct option is C

For every 120 joules of energy input a car wastes 85 joules , find the useful energy output of the car ?

Answers

Answer:

35 Joules

Explanation:

Applying

Input Energy(Q) = Useful energy output(U)+Wasted Energy(W)

Q = U+W.............................. Equation 1

Make U the subject of the equation

U = Q-W................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: Q = 120 Joules, W = 85 Joules

Substitute these values into equation 2

U = 120-85

U = 35 Joules

A car accelerates at a rate of 13m/s^2[S]. If the car's initial velocity is 120km/h[N]. What will its final velocity be in m/s, after two seconds.

Answers

Answer:

the final velocity of the car is 59.33 m/s [N]

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the car, a = 13 m/s²

initial velocity of the car, u = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s

duration of the car motion, t = 2 s

The final velocity of the car in the same direction is calculated as follows;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the car

v = 33.33 + (13 x 2)

v = 59.33 m/s [N]

Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 59.33 m/s [N]

Guys pls someone answer my question I have an exam and this question has 5 marks

Answers

Answer:

Horizontal component = 60.05 m/s

vertical component = 22.96 m/s

Explanation:

cosine(angle) = adjacent / hypotenuse or  horizontal / angled velocity

angled velocity * cosine (angle) = horizontal velocity

65 m/s * cosine(22.5) = 60.05 m/s

sine(angle) = adjacent/ hypotenuse or vertical/ angled velocity

angled velocity * sine (angle) = vertical velocity

65m/s sine(22.5) = 22.96 m/s

A- 1.78m
B- 3.10m
C- 5.34m
D- 6.68m
E- 12.0m

Answers

Answer:

A. 1.78 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the, u = 12 m/s

angle of projection, θ =  30°

the range of the projectile, R = 7.5 m

To obtain the height through which the projectile lands, we must calculate the maximum height reached by the projectile.

[tex]H = \frac{u^2\ sin^2\theta}{2g} \\\\H = \frac{(12)^2\times (sin(30))^2}{2 \times 9.8} \\\\H = \frac{144 \times (0.5)^2}{19.6} \\\\H = 1.84 \ m[/tex]

Therefore, the height is most nearly 1.78 m

Explanation:

The name oxidation actually originates from the word oxygen so the question answers it's self.

In case you don't know what oxidation is:

Oxidation occurs when an atom, molecule, or ion loses one or more electrons in a chemical reaction. When oxidation occurs, the oxidation state of the chemical species increases. Oxidation doesn't necessarily involve oxygen! Originally, the term was used when oxygen caused electron loss in a reaction.
