Why we are using the average velocity to solve this problem?

Transcribed Image Text:22. || In a crash test, a car is driven into a solid wall at a speed of
35 mph. Figure P4.22 shows the car's acceleration as it crashes
into the wall. What is the maximum force experienced by the

- You are an engineer in charge of designing a new generation of elevators for a prospective upgrade to the Empire State Building Before the state legislature votes on funding for the project, they would like you to prepare a report on the benefits of upgrading the elevators. One of the numbers that they have requested is the time it will take the elevator to go from the ground floor to the 102nd floor observatory. They are unlikely to approve the project unless the new elevators make the trip much faster than the old elevators. If state law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate more than 2.40 m/s² or travel faster than 11.3 m/s, what is the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor to the observatory floor? minimum travel time:arrow_forwardRasberry Crazy Ants, a species found in wall sockets, cellphones, and television sets are slowly spreading across Texas and are poised to spread across the entire South. Named for Texas exterminator Tom Rasberry, who spotted ants moving in an erratic swarm in 2002, the destructive ants are now in 23 counties in Texas, the Austin American-Statesman recently reported. Although their march in inexorable, it is also quite slow. They travel at an average speed of 1.8 feet per day. At that rate, how long will the swarm that is presently centered in Austin, Texas, take to reach Boston? Express your answer in the timeframe that is most appropriate. Do you need to be worried about these ants infesting your cellphone or television? Do you need to worry for your children? For your grandchildren?

If the length of the runway is 1.4 km, will the plane be able to use this runway safely? O Yes O No Defend your answer.arrow_forward
- An object falls from a high building. What will its velocity be after 7 seconds of falling? An object falls from a high building and hits the ground in 9.5 seconds. What is the height of the building? During a storm, a piece of metal was knocked off a building. The metal fell a distance of 300 meters to the ground. How long did it take the metal to hit the ground? What will the velocity of the metal be when it hits the ground? An object falls from the Burj Khalifa (located in United Arab Emirates) and takes 13 seconds to hit the ground. What is its velocity at impact? How tall is the building? What is the object’s acceleration at the 3rd second? What is the object’s acceleration at the 7th second? If the Burj Khalifa were actually 2000 meters tall, how long would an object take to fall from the top of the building to the ground?
