A 1700kg rhino charges at a speed of 50.0km/h. what average force is needed to bring the rhino to a stop in 0.50s?

1 answer:

6 0

From 50km/h to 0km/h in 0.5s we need next acceleration:
First we convert km/h in m/s:
50km/h = 50*1000/3600=13.8888 m/s
a = v/t = 13.88888/0.5 = 27.77777 m/s^2

Now we use Newton's law:

F=m*a

F=1700*27.7777 = 47222N

The equation for gear ratio

Ymorist [56]

In a gear train with two gears, the gear ratio is defined as follows
$R= \frac{\omega _A}{\omega _B}$

where $\omega _A$ is the angular velocity of the input gear while $\omega _B$ is the angular velocity of the output gear.

This can be rewritten as a function of the number of teeth of the gears. In fact, the angular velocity of a gear is inversely proportional to the radius r of the gear:
$\omega = \frac{v}{r}$
But the radius is proportional to the number of teeth N of the gear. Therefore we can rewrite the gear ratio also as
$R= \frac{\omega _A}{\omega _B} = \frac{r_B}{r_A} = \frac{N_B}{N_A}$

Answer:

Crumple zones are designed to absorb and redistribute the force of a collision. ... Also known as a crush zone, crumple zones are areas of a vehicle that are designed to deform and crumple in a collision. This absorbs some of the energy of the impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants.

A person wearing a shoulder harness can survive a car crash if the acceleration is smaller than -300 m/s . assuming constant acc

mars1129 [50]

To solve this problem, we use the equation:

where,

d = distance of collapse

v0 = initial velocity = 101 km / h = 28.06 m / s

v = final velocity = 0

a = acceleration = - 300 m / s^2

d = (-28.06 m / s)^2 / (2 * - 300 m / s^2)
