If the torque required to loosen a nut that holds a wheel on a car has a magnitude of 55 n·m, what force must be exerted at the

end of a 0.47 m lug wrench to loosen the nut when the angle is 48°?

Either 175 N or 157 N depending upon how the value of 48° was measured from.    
You didn't mention if the angle of 48° is from the lug wrench itself, or if it's from the normal to the lug wrench. So I'll solve for both cases and you'll need to select the desired answer.    
Since we need a torque of 55 N·m to loosen the nut and our lug wrench is 0.47 m long, that means that we need 55 N·m / 0.47 m = 117 N of usefully applied force in order to loosen the nut. This figure will be used for both possible angles.    
Ideally, the force will have a 0° degree difference from the normal and 100% of the force will be usefully applied. Any value greater than 0° will have the exerted force reduced by the cosine of the angle from the normal. Hence the term "cosine loss".     
If the angle of 48° is from the normal to the lug wrench, the usefully applied power will be:  
U = F*cos(48)  
where  
U = Useful force  
F = Force applied    
So solving for F and calculating gives:  
U = F*cos(48)  
U/cos(48) = F  
117 N/0.669130606 = F  
174.8537563 N = F    
So 175 Newtons of force is required in this situation.    
If the 48° is from the lug wrench itself, that means that the force is 90° - 48° = 42° from the normal. So doing the calculation again (this time from where we started plugging in values) we get  
U/cos(42) = F  
117/0.743144825 = F  
157.4390294 = F    
Or 157 Newtons is required for this case.

In a Rutherford scattering experiment a target nucleus has a diameter of 1.34×10-14 m. The incoming α particle has a mass of 6.6
Rasek [7]

Answer:

E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Explanation:

given,

diameter = 1.33 x 10⁻¹⁴ m

mass = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

wavelength is equal to diameter

de broglie wavelength equal to diameter

         \lambda = \dfrac{h}{mv}

         1.33 \times 10^{-14}= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times v}

         v= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times 1.33 \times 10^{-14}}

              v = 7.5 x 10⁶ m/s

Kinetic energy is equal to

     E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

     E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times (7.5\times 10^6)^2

            E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

A 1,100 kg car is traveling initially 20 m/s when the brakes are applied. The brakes apply a constant force while bringing the c
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Work done = -220,000 Joules.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 1100kg

Initial velocity = 20m/s

To find workdone, we would calculate the kinetic energy possessed by the car.

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where,

  • K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.
  • M represents mass measured in kilograms.
  • V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}*1100*20^{2}

K.E = 550*400

K.E = 220,000J

Therefore, the workdone to bring the car to rest would be -220,000 Joules because the braking force is working to oppose the motion of the car.

An object with mass 3.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring stiffness constant k = 270 N/m and is executing simple harmonic m
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Part a)

A = 0.066 m

Part b)

maximum speed = 0.58 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that angular frequency of spring block system is given as

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

here we know

m = 3.5 kg

k = 270 N/m

now we have

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{270}{3.5}}

\omega = 8.78 rad/s

Part a)

Speed of SHM at distance x = 0.020 m from its equilibrium position is given as

v = \omega \sqrt{A^2 - x^2}

0.55 = 8.78 \sqrt{A^2 - 0.020^2}

A = 0.066 m

Part b)

Maximum speed of SHM at its mean position is given as

v_{max} = A\omega

v_{max} = 0.066(8.78) = 0.58 m/s
