A driverless car collides head on with a stationary sign. The collision brings the car to a stop, but does not move the sign. Which design feature would have minimized the force of impact in the collision?

A. a car that can carry a greater mass of passengers and cargo

B. a sign that breaks loose from the ground when a force is applied to it

C. a sign that can withstand the force of a more massive car without moving

D. a car that can decelerate at a greater rate during collisions by not bending on impact

Moon effect. some people believe that the moon controls their activities. if the moon moves from being directly on the opposite side of earth from you to being directly overhead, by what percentage does (a) the moon's gravitational pull on you increase and (b) your weight (as measured on a scale) decrease? assume that the earth–moon (center-to-center) distance is 3.82 × 10^8 m, earth's radius is 6.37 × 10^6 m, moon's mass is 7.36 × 10^22 kg, and earth's mass is 5.98 × 10^24 kg.

An engine undergoes a cycle as shown in the diagram. during a complete cycle the work done by the gas is 28.5×103 j and the energy transferred thermally out is 99.4×103 j. there are 1.5×1024 gas molecules and they have three active degrees of freedom. 6. (6 pts) during which process(es) is energy transferred thermally into the gas? a. 1→2 b. 2→3 c. 4→1 d. 1→2 and 4→1 e. none of the above
