When a car hits you in a rear end collision, the car initially has a momentum going in one direction. This causes your car to move in the same direction that car was moving even if you were at rest. So, for conservation of momentum, you initially have momentum going in the east direction for example, after the collision, you will have a change in momentum which causes you to have a velocity in the west direction. This is because you are initially at rest and then there is a sudden change in velocity so when you speed up, that momentum causes you to move backwards. If you don't have a properly adjusted neckrest you could may experience whiplash.

What is the volume of an irregularly shaped object that has a mass 3.0 grams and a density of 6.0 g/mL
pogonyaev

Answer: The volume of an irregularly shaped object is 0.50 ml

Explanation:

To calculate the volume, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of object = 6.0g/ml

mass of object = 3.0 g

Volume of object = ?

Putting in the values we get:

6.0g/ml=\frac{3.0g}{\text{Volume of substance}}

{\text{Volume of substance}}=0.50ml

Thus the volume of an irregularly shaped object is 0.50 ml

Kay [80]
<span>Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind.</span>

Un cable está tendido sobre dos postes colocados con una separación de 10 m. A la mitad del cable se cuelga un letrero que provo
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

El peso del cartel es 397,97 N

Explanation:

La tensión dada en cada segmento del cable = 2000 N

El desplazamiento vertical del cable = 50 cm = 0,5 m

La distancia entre los polos = 10 m

La posición del letrero en el cable = En el medio = 5

El ángulo de inclinación del cable a la vertical = tan⁻¹ (0.5 / 5) = 5.71 °

El peso del letrero = La suma del componente vertical de la tensión en cada lado del letrero

El peso del signo = 2000 × sin (5.71 grados) + 2000 × sin (5.71 grados) = 397.97 N

El peso del signo = 397,97 N.

At 25 °C, a bottle contains 2.00 L of water in its liquid state. What is the volume of the water after it freezes (at 0 °C)? The
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

  • 2.175 L

Explanation:

temperature (T) = 25 degrees

volume of water (v) = 2 L = 2000 mL

density of water = 0.997 g/mL

density of ice = 0.917 g/mL

we can get the mass of the water and the use it to get the volume when it freezes to ice, this is because the mass remains the same irrespective of the change of state.

  • mass of water = volume x density  = 2000 x 0.997 = 1994 g
  • volume of ice = mass/density = 1994 / 0.917 = 2174.5 mL = 2.175 L
