Explanation:it is beause they are sharper and also have less surface area and therefore more pressure
Answer:

Explanation:
Given:
Initial velocity of the vehicle, 
distance between the car and the tree, 
time taken to respond to the situation, 
acceleration of the car after braking, 
Using equation of motion:
..............(1)
where:
final velocity of the car when it hits the tree
initial velocity of the car when the tree falls
acceleration after the brakes are applied
distance between the tree and the car after the brakes are applied.

Now for this situation the eq. (1) becomes:
(negative sign is for the deceleration after the brake is applied to the car.)
Answer:
Energy needed = 1100 kJ
Explanation:
Energy needed = Change in kinetic energy
Initial velocity = 15 m/s
Mass, m = 1600 kg

Final velocity = 40 m/s

Energy needed = Change in kinetic energy = 1280000-180000 = 1100000J
Energy needed = 1100 kJ
Complete Question
An aluminum "12 gauge" wire has a diameter d of 0.205 centimeters. The resistivity ρ of aluminum is 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters. The electric field in the wire changes with time as E(t)=0.0004t2−0.0001t+0.0004 newtons per coulomb, where time is measured in seconds.
I = 1.2 A at time 5 secs.
Find the charge Q passing through a cross-section of the conductor between time 0 seconds and time 5 seconds.
Answer:
The charge is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The diameter of the wire is 
The radius of the wire is 
The resistivity of aluminum is 
The electric field change is mathematically defied as

Generally the charge is mathematically represented as

Where A is the area which is mathematically represented as

So

Therefore

Answer: 0.016 h
Explanation:

It is given that, biker has an average speed = 18 km/h
Total distance traveled = 0.30 km
Therefore, time taken by biker to travel this distance:

Thus, the biker takes 0.016 hours to travel the segment of 0.30 km at an average speed of 18 km/h.
