Using the equation for Impact, can you explain the following: Why are car steering rods designed to collapse? Why are highway guard rails designed to crumple up on impact? Why are traffic saftey barrels filled with water or sand?

Astudent is given an assignment to demonstrate diffraction. he takes a photograph of a straw in a glass of water. the straw appears bent at the water level. which best describes this example? a) this is a good example of diffraction. b) this is an example of dispersion and not diffraction. c) this is an example of refraction and not diffraction. d) this is an example of reflection and not diffraction.

Agas initially at p1 = 1 bar and occupying a volume of 0.5 liter is compressed within a piston–cylinder assembly to a final pressure p2 = 4 bar. (a) if the relationship between pressure and volume during the compression is pv = constant, determine the volume, in liters, at a pressure of 3 bar. (b) repeat for a linear pressure–volume relationship between the same end states. reference

Acoyote chasing a rabbit is moving 8.00 m/s due east at one moment and 8.80 m/s due south 4.25 s later. let the x axis point due east and the y axis point due north. find the direction of the coyote's average acceleration during that time.
