To solve this problem, we must remember about the law of conservation of momentum. The initial momentum mist be equal to the final momentum, that is:

m1 v1 + m2 v2 = (m1 + m2) v’

where v’ is the speed of impact

Since we are not given the masses of each car m1 and m2, so let us assume that they are equal, such that:

m1 = m2 = m

Which makes the equation:

m v1 + m v2 = (2 m) v’

Cancelling m and substituting the v values:

50 + 48 = 2 v’

2 v’ = 98

v ‘ = 49 km/h

 

<span>The speed of impact is 49 km/h.</span>

What does the area between the line and the x-axis represent on a velocity vs. time graph?
Finger [1]

Answer:

It has been learned in this lesson that the area bounded by the line and the axes of a velocity-time graph is equal to the displacement of an object during that particular time period. ... Once calculated, this area represents the displacement of the object.

Two solid steel shafts (G = 77.2 GPa) are connected to a coupling disk B and to fixed supports at A and C. Take T = 1.3 kN·m. De
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

τ (bc. max) =25.37 MPa

Explanation:

From the question, T = 1.3Kn.m;

(G = 77.2 GPa) and from the image of this solid shaft system i attached;

d(ab) = 50mm; d(bc) = 38mm; L(ab) =0.2m and L(bc) = 0.25m

So ΣT = 0 → Ta + Tc = 1.3Kn.m

So the system is statically indeterminate.

Let's check at the equation that makes it compatible ;

ψ = 0 and ψ(c/b) + ψ(b/a) + ψ(a) = 0

[{T(bc)} / {J(bc)G}] + [{T(ab)} / {J(ab)G}] + 0 =

ΣT = 0 and T(bc) = T(c)

ΣT = 0 and T(ab) = T(c) - 1.3 Kn.m

Now,

[(T(c) x 250mm)/{(π/2)(19^4)}] + [{((T(c) - 1300000 Nmm) x 200mm}/{(π/2)(25^4)}] = 0

So, T(c) = 273374 Nmm = 273.374Nm

T(a) = 1300Nm - 273.374Nm = 1026. 63Nm

From the beginning we saw that;

T(bc) = T(c) = 273.374Nm

Now let's find the maximum shear stress in shaft BC;

τ (bc. max) = {τ (bc) x r(bc)} / J(bc)

τ (bc. max) = (273374Nmm x 19mm)/ {(π/2)(19^4)} = 5194106 / 204707

= 25.37 MPa
