You are a traffic accident investigator. You have arrived at the scene of an accident. Two cars of equal mass (1,000 kg each) were involved in a rear-end accident at a stop sign. Here is what you know: Car 1 approached the intersection from the top of a 25-meter hill. Car 2 was on a flat stretch of road directly in front of Car 1. At the bottom of the hill, Car 1 was going 20 m/s; Car 2 was going 30 m/s before it stopped at the stop sign. There were no skid marks left by Car 2. The collision occurred at the stop sign, where Car 2 had stopped. After the collision, both cars were moving together in the same direction at 10 m/s before slowly rolling to a stop. You must now push Car 2, using 800 N of force, 10 meters off to the side of the road so no one else gets hurt.
1. What was the potential energy of Car 1 at the top of the hill? (3 points)




2. What was the kinetic energy of each car before braking? (4 points)




3. A. How much energy did Car 1 lose from the top to the bottom of the hill? (3 points)




B. Where do you suppose that energy went? (2 points)




4. How much work was done to bring Car 2 to a stop? (4 points)




5. If Car 2 came to a stop in 15 seconds, how much power (in watts) did it take to stop Car 2 at the stop sign by applying force to the brakes? (3 points)




6. What is the final combined momentum of the cars right after the accident? (6 points)




7. Assuming that there are no other nonconservative forces involved, what impulse was given to each car during the collision? (6 points)
A. Car 1 (3 points)




B. Car 2 (3 points)




8. How much energy did Car 1 lose in the collision? (3 points)




9. How much energy did Car 2 gain in the collision? (3 points)




10. Which of the two laws covered in this unit - Law of Conservation of Momentum or Law of Conservation of Energy - is obeyed in this problem? Explain your reasoning. (5 points)




11. How much work did it take to move Car 2 off to the side of the road? (3 points)




12. If it took you 40 seconds to move Car 2 off the road, how much power did you expend? (3 points)




13. Which simple machine does a car have that helped you move Car 2? Explain. (2 points)

The electricity conduction happens when there is a flow of current. The flow of current from one point to another can only occur if there is a potential difference.

If there is not potential difference between two points the current will not flow and thus electricity conduction will also be not possible. The current in the circuit will flow from higher potential point to lower potential point.

An airplane moves in straight level flight at constant velocity. What is the
net force acting on it if the mass of the plane is 1000 kg and the frictional
drag of the air is 1800 N? *

Answers

Answer:

Net force = 0

Explanation:

We have, an airplane moves in straight level flight at constant velocity.

Mass of the plane is 1000 kg

The frictional force acting of the air is 1800 N.  

It is required to find the net force acting on it. We know that net force is given by the product of mass and acceleration. But here the airplane moves with constant speed, it means its acceleration is equal to 0 such that net force is equal to 0.

B) Solid - liquid - gas
C) gas - liquid - solid
D) gas - solid - liquid

Answers

I believe it’s C) gas- liquid- solid

The correct order of increasing the intermolecular force of attraction for the three most common states of matter is C) gas - liquid - solid.

What is an intermolecular force in matter?

An intermolecular force is a force of attraction or repulsion that exists between molecules or atoms within a substance.

Here,
In the gaseous state, the intermolecular forces are weak, and the molecules are far apart and move freely in all directions. In the liquid state, the intermolecular forces are stronger, and the molecules are closer together, but still able to move past each other. In the solid state, the intermolecular forces are the strongest, and the molecules are tightly packed together in a fixed arrangement, which results in a definite shape and volume.

Therefore, the correct order of increasing the intermolecular force of attraction for the three most common states of matter is gas, liquid, and solid.

Producing 100 L of ethanol from sugar cane
Producing 200 L of ethanol from sugar beet
Producing 300 L of ethanol from potatoes
Producing 400 L of ethanol from corn

Answers

Answer:

Producing 300 L of ethanol from potatoes

Explanation:

From the diagram, one liter of ethanol production from sugar cane requires 2000 liters of water. Hence, in order to produce 100 L of ethanol from sugar cane, 2000 x 100 = 200,000 L of water.

1000 liters of water is needed to produce 1 liter of ethanol from sugar beet. Hence, 200 x 1000 = 200,000 L of water will be needed to produce 200 liters of ethanol.

1000 liters of water is also required to produce 1 liter of ethanol from potatoes, hence, 300 x 1000 = 300,000 L of water would be required to produce 300 L of ethanol from the same material

About 500 liters of water is required to produce 1 liter of ethanol from corn, hence, 400 x 500 = 200,000 L of water would be needed to produce 400 L of ethanol from corn.

In conclusion, producing 300 L of ethanol from potatoes would require using the most water among all the options.

An object has an acceleration of 18.0 m/s/s. If the net force was doubled and the mass were tripled then the new acceleration would be

Answers

Answer:

12.0 m/s²

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

F = ma

Solving for acceleration:

a = F/m

If force is doubled and mass is tripled:

a' = (2F)/(3m)

a' = ⅔ (F/m)

a' = ⅔ (18.0 m/s²)

a' = 12.0 m/s²

The new value of acceleration of object is 12 m/s².

Given data:

The magnitude of acceleration of object is, [tex]a =18 \;\rm m/s^{2}[/tex].

Let F be initial net force and m be the initial mass. Then as per the problem, the new values of each are,

F' = 2F

m' = 3m

Apply the Newton's Second law, which says that the product of mass and acceleration of object given net force. Then,

F = ma

F = m(18)

F/m = 18 .................................................(1)

Now, for new value of net force,

F' = m'a'

2F = (3m) a'

2F/3m = a'

a' =2/3× (18)                                                   (From equation 1)

a' = 12 m/s²

Thus, we can conclude that the new value of acceleration of object is 12 m/s².

Answers

Answer:

acceleration

Explanation:

From the question: "FORCE... divided by the MASS..." is translated to a math equation as "F / m", where "F" is the force and "m" is the mass.  

Now, the second Newton's law says "F = m . a ", where a is acceleration.

If you move m to the left side, clearly you have "F / m", and "a" is alone to the right. Math equation:

a = F / m

acceleration = force / mass

B. Individuals pass on their best traits to their offspring.

C. Mutations help an individual survive and reproduce.

D. Well-adapted individuals survive and reproduce.

Answers

Answer:

B. Individuals pass on their best traits to their offspring.

Explanation:

because genes are always passed from parents to offspring.

The best summary of the process of natural selection is Individuals pass on their best traits to their offspring. Hence, the correct option is B.

What is the theory of Natural selection?

The theory of natural selection gives the mechanism of evolution. It defines the method of different survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype.

The theory of natural selection was proposed by Charles Darwin as a way of adaptation and speciation. The variations occur in organisms by random mutations occurring in the genome of individual organisms and this change in mutations may inherit in offspring.

Organisms that are more adapted to the environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes to future generations. This process cause changes to the generations and diverged over time.

The organisms produce more offspring that are able to survive in the environment. The four factors of natural selection are Variations, Inheritance, Selection, and time.

Thus, the best summary of the process of natural selection is individuals pass on their best traits to their offspring. Hence, the ideal solution is option B.
