Indicate whether each of the following statements about car collisions is true or false. Select all that are True.
a. If two identical cars with identical speeds collide head on, the magnitude of the impulse received by each car and each driver is the same as if one car at the same speed had collided head on with a concrete wall.
b. Car 1 has mass m, and car 2 has mass 2m. In a head-on collision of these cars while moving at identical speeds in opposite directions, car 1 experiences a bigger acceleration than car 2.
c. The essential safety benefit of crumple zones (parts of the front of a car designed to receive maximum deformation during a head-on collision) is due to their absorbing kinetic energy, converting it into deformation, and lengthening the effective collision time, thus reducing the average force experienced by the driver.
d. Car 1 has mass m, and car 2 has mass 2m. In a head-on collision of these cars while moving at identical speeds in opposite directions, car 1 receives an impulse of bigger magnitude than that received by car 2. If car 1 has mass m and speed v, and car 2 has mass 0.5m and speed 1.5v, then both cars have the same momentum.

Askydiver weighing 140 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 19,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 14|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. (a) find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. (b) find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) what is the limiting velocity vl after the parachute opens? (d) determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver reaches the ground.

Assume that a person skiing high in the mountains at an altitude of h = 15100 ft takes in the same volume of air with each breath as she does while walking at sea level. determine the ratio of the mass of oxygen inhaled for each breath at this high altitude compared to that at sea level. assume that the air composition (i. e. % of air that is oxygen) is the same at sea level as it is at 15100 ft.
