A motorist driving at 25 meters/second decelerates to 15 meters/second. The combined mass of the vehicle and the driver is 1.5 × 103 kilograms. What is the amount of mechanical work done by the vehicle?

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. one model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( ), defined as =/ . in the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but is not equal to the acceleration. rather, is a dimensionless constant that = the number of multiples of that the acceleration is equal to.in one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 13.7 km/h with an acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 . let the + direction point in the direction the car is traveling. what is the severity index for the collision?

From 0 to 5 seconds john pushed a box 5 meters. from 5 to 10 seconds, paul pushed the same box another 5 meters. who did more work? a. john b. paul c. john and paul did the same amount of work.

An important dimensionless parameter concerned with very high-speed flow is the mach number, defined as v/c, where v is the speed of the object such as an airplane or projectile, and c is the speed of sound in the fluid surrounding the object. for a projectile traveling at 1170 mph through air at 50 ˚f and standard atmospheric pressure, what is the value of the mach number?
