The modifications that are implemented after Tacoma bridge disaster are added trusses and openings below road decks to decrease oscillations.

<h3>Why Tacoma Bridge disaster occurred?</h3>

While marching, the natural frequency of the vibrations of marching soldiers matched up with the resonant frequency of the bridge. This resulted in the collapsing of the bridge in seconds.

Because of the disaster of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, the bridge was strengthened by adding trusses as well as openings below road decks so as to decrease vibrations caused by running vehicles on the bridge.

Thus, the modifications that are implemented after Tacoma bridge disaster are added trusses and openings below road decks to decrease oscillations

A 91.5 kg football player running east at 2.73 m/s tackles a 63.5 kg player running east at 3.09 m/s. what is their velocity aft
pentagon [3]

Answer:

2.877 m/s

Explanation:

According to the laws of conservation of linear momentum,

the momentum of the moving objects before impact is equal to the momentum of the objects after impact (Assuming no external forces were applied)

Let both players are tackled and moving in V velocity

  • M and m - masses of the players
  • U and  u -  velocities of them respectively (both velocities are towards east direction )

momentum before impact = momentum after impact

                          →MU + →mu  = →(M+ m )v

 91.5  * 2.73 + 63.5 * 3.09 =  (91.5 + 63.5) * V

                                       →V = 2.877 m/s (To East)

Two gliders on an air track collide in a perfectly elastic collision. Glider A has a mass of 1.1 kg and is initially travelling
Eva8 [605]

m1= mass 1 = 1.1 kg

Vi1 = initial velocity 1 = 2.7 m/s

m2= 2.4 kg

V2i = -1.9 m/s

We assume east as positive and west as negative.

Apply the formulas:

Vf1 = ?

vf1=(\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2})Vi1+(\frac{2m2}{m1+m2})Vi2

Replacing:

Vf1=\frac{(1.1-2.4)}{(1.1+2.4)}2.7+\frac{(2\times2.4)}{(1.1+2.4)}-1.9Vf1=(\frac{-1.3}{3.5})2.7+(\frac{4.8}{3.5})-1.9Vf1=-1-2.6=-3.6\text{ m/s}

Answer: 3.6 m/s west

Rearranged the equation d=10 v=2.5 for t
eimsori [14]

The time of motion of the object at the given speed and distance is 4 seconds.

<h3>Time of motion of the object</h3>

The time of motion of the object is calculated as follows;

t = d/v

where;

  • d is distance = 10 m
  • v is speed = 2.5 m/s
  • t is time of motion

t =  10/2.5

t = 4 s

Thus, the time of motion of the object at the given speed and distance is 4 seconds.

Students create a standing wave
kenny6666 [7]

wavelength =wavevelocity

--——————

Frequency

Frequency = 1/T => 1 / 6.73 = 0.1486

Wave velocity = L/T => 3.75 / 6.73 = 0.5572

Therefore, wave length = 0.5572/0.1486 = 3.75m
