A car has a crumple zone that is 0.80 m (80 cm) long. In this car, the distance from the dummy to the steering wheel is 0.50 m.

The car has a mass of 1,600 kg and the dummy has a mass of 75 kg. At the time of the crash, the car has a speed of 18 m/s. Based on the work-energy theorem, what is the smallest possible force that the dummy could experience during the crash

Answer: A -9.35

Explanation: The work-energy theorem states the work (Fd) is equal to the change in kinetic energy: Fd = ΔKE. Before the crash, the kinetic energy of the dummy is equal to one-half mass times velocity squared, or 0.5 · 75 kg · (18 m/s)2, which is equal to 12,150 J. The kinetic energy of the dummy after the crash is 0 J, so the change in kinetic energy is –12,150 J. If the crumple zone collapses completely and the dummy just misses hitting the steering wheel, then the distance d is 0.80 + 0.50 = 1.30 m. So we have:

F · d = ΔKE

F = ΔKE/d

F = –12,150 J/1.30 m = 9,346 N, or 9.35 kN

Answer:

F = 518.4 KN

Explanation:

From work energy theorem;

Energy = workdone

In this case, Energy is kinetic energy and has a formula ½mv²

Thus;

Fd = ½mv²

We are given;

Mass of car; m = 1600 kg

Speed of car after crash; v = 18 m/s

Distance from dummy to steering wheel; d = 0.5 m

Thus;

½ × 1600 × 18² = F × 0.5

This gives;

800 × 324 = 0.5F

F = 800 × 324/0.5

F = 518400 N

F = 518.4 KN

Which of the following diagrams involves a virtual image ?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The third diagram

Explanation:

  • <u>A virtual image</u> is an image that can not be formed on a screen.
  • <u>A convex lens</u> can form both virtual and real image depending on the position of the object from the lens.
  • A virtual image in convex lens is formed when the object is placed between the focus and the optical center of the lens.
  • In the third diagram, a virtual image is formed because the position of the object is between the focus and the optical center of the convex lens.

A cart is driven by a large propeller or fan, which can accelerate or decelerate the cart. The cart starts out at the position x
mash [69]

Answer:

The acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion:

Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2*a*x

2*a*x = Vf^2 - Vi^2

a = (Vf^2 - Vi^2)/ 2*x

Where Vf is the final velocity of the cart, Vi is the initial velocity of the cart, a the acceleration of the cart and x the displacement of the cart.

Let x = Xf -Xi

Where Xf is the final position of the cart and Xi the initial position of the cart.

x = 12.5 - 0

x = 12.5

The cart comes to a stop before changing direction

Vf = 0 m/s

a = (0^2 - 5^2)/ 2*12.5

a = - 1 m/s^2

The cart is decelerating

Therefore the acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.

I'm assuming you want the first law of thermodynamics.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy and cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be transferred from one location to another and can be converted into other forms of energy.
