Answer:
It's centripetal acceleration is 301.7 m/s²
Explanation:
The formula to be used here is that of the centripetal acceleration which is
ac = rω²
where ac is the centripetal acceleration = ?
ω is the angular velocity = 3 revolutions per second is to be converted to radian per second: 3 × 2π = 3 × 2 × 3.14 = 18.84 rad/s
r is the radius = 0.85 m
ac = 0.85 × 18.84²
ac = 301.7 m/s²
It's centripetal acceleration is 301.7 m/s²
Answer: vl = 2.75 m/s vt = 1.5 m/s
Explanation:
If we assume that no external forces act during the collision, total momentum must be conserved.
If both cars are identical and also the drivers have the same mass, we can write the following:
m (vi1 + vi2) = m (vf1 + vf2) (1)
The sum of the initial speeds must be equal to the sum of the final ones.
If we are told that kinetic energy must be conserved also, simplifying, we can write:
vi1² + vi2² = vf1² + vf2² (2)
The only condition that satisfies (1) and (2) simultaneously is the one in which both masses exchange speeds, so we can write:
vf1 = vi2 and vf2 = vi1
If we call v1 to the speed of the leading car, and v2 to the trailing one, we can finally put the following:
vf1 = 2.75 m/s vf2 = 1.5 m/s
according to the second law of dynamics F = m • a => a = F / m
Answer:
the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh
Explanation:
Given that;
weight of vehicle = 4000 lbs
we know that 1 kg = 2.20462
so
m = 4000 / 2.20462 = 1814.37 kg
Initial velocity 
= 60 mph = 26.8224 m/s
Final velocity 
= 30 mph = 13.4112 m/s
now we determine change in kinetic energy
Δk = 
m( ² - ² )
we substitute
Δk = ×1814.37( (26.8224)² - (13.4112)² )
Δk = × 1814.37 × 539.5808
Δk = 489500 Joules
we know that; 1 kilowatt hour = 3.6 × 10⁶ Joule
so
Δk = 489500 / 3.6 × 10⁶
Δk = 0.13597 ≈ 0.136 kWh
Therefore, the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh
Assuming it is on a horizontal surface:
friction = μR
R = 20g (g is gravity 9.81)
so Friction = 0.085 x 20g
Work done is force x distance
so Work done = 0.085 x 20g x 28
= 466.956 J
