The front 1.20 m of a 1,550-kg car is designed as a "crumple zone" that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision. (a) If a car traveling 24.0 m/s stops uniformly in 1.20 m, how long does the collision last

t = 0.1 s

Explanation:

Given:

- The distance crushed (Stopping-Distance) s = 1.20 m

- The mass of the car m = 1,550 kg

-  The initial velocity vi = 24.0 m/s

Find:

- How long does the collision last t?

Solution:

- The stopping distance s is the average velocity v times time t as follows:

                                s = t*( vf + vi ) / 2

Where,

             vf = 0 m/s ( Stopped )

                                s = t*( vi ) / 2

                                t = 2*s / vi

                                t = 2*1.20 / 24

                                t = 0.1 s

t=0.1seconds.

Explanation:

The mass of the car m = 1,550 kg  

We know the stopping distance, 1.20m,

we know the final velocity, 0m/s (its stopped),

the starting velocity, 24m/s.

d=t(v2+v1)/2

Rearange to solve for t, and remove the v2^2 as its zero

t=2d/v1  

t=2(1.20m)/(24m/s)

t=0.1seconds.

answer: the correct answer is   air pressure at the top of mount everest is higher than at the bottom of the grand canyon.

hope this : )

explanation:

the entire statement is true and correct.  

there's no diagram, nothing is illustrated, and no question is asked.
