To test the resiliency of its bumper during low-speed collisions, a 3 010-kg automobile is driven into a brick wall. the car's bumper behaves like a spring with a force constant 6.00 106 n/m and compresses 3.26 cm as the car is brought to rest. what was the speed of the car before impact, assuming no mechanical energy is transformed or transferred away during impact with the wall? m/s

1.45549 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of car = 3010 kg

v = Velocity of car

k = Spring constant =

x = Displacement of spring = 3.26 cm

As the energy of the system is conserved

The speed of the car before impact is 1.45549 m/s

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.

false.

explanation:

this statement is false. after falling for 5 seconds, its speed will not be 100 m/s.
