22. To help reduce the severity of accidents, an engineering company designs large plastic barrels filled with antifreeze that can be placed in front of bridge supports. In a simple test, a 1200 kg car moving at 20 m/s [W] crashes into several barrels. The car slows down to 8.0 m/s [W] in 0.40 s. a) Find the average net force acting on the car during the collision. b) What would happen to the average net force if the car in the test hit a bridge support directly, instead of the barrels? Explain your reasoning. You may assume that the bridge supports are not severely damaged during the collision. c) Why is it important to use antifreeze in the barrels, instead of just water, if the barrels will be used in Canada? Explain by discussing the effect this would have on the net force. 23. A stationary 2000 kg cannon fires a 25 kg cannon ball horizontally at 250 m/s. Find the velocity of the cannon after firing the cannon ball. You may assume that there is no friction acting on the cannon.

22. To help reduce the severity of accidents, an engineering company designs large plastic
barrels filled with antifreeze that can be placed in front of bridge supports. In a simple
test, a 1200 kg car moving at 20 m/s [W] crashes into several barrels. The car slows down
to 8.0 m/s [W] in 0.40 s.
a) Find the average net force acting on the car during the collision.
b) What would happen to the average net force if the car in the test hit a bridge support
directly, instead of the barrels? Explain your reasoning. You may assume that the
bridge supports are not severely damaged during the collision.
c) Why is it important to use antifreeze in the barrels, instead of just water, if the barrels
will be used in Canada? Explain by discussing the effect this would have on the net
force.
23. A stationary 2000 kg cannon fires a 25 kg cannon ball horizontally at 250 m/s. Find
the velocity of the cannon after firing the cannon ball. You may assume that there is no
friction acting on the cannon.

Example
A car is accelerating from 80 m/s to 120 m/s in 8 seconds. Calculate the acceleration?
G: v₁ = 80m/s vf = 120m/s At = 8s
U: a =?
21
E: a = 5
120-80
S
m
S: a =
8s
for acceleration
As you can see, I carried the unit of measure for speed and time in the formula
S: a =
120-80m
8s
the units for measure for acceleration. I know there is
8s²
m
40™
= 40 = 40÷8s = 40 × ² =
8s
m
indeed the units for measure for acceleration is
40m
m
=
= 5 As you can see here, I calculated
but I show my work and prove that
I hope that my example is clear. If you have any questions please write an email.
