An automobile with a standard differential turns sharply to the left. The left driving wheel turns on a 20-m radius. Distance be

Inessa05 [86]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Inner wheel Radius = 20 m,

Distance between left and right wheel = 1.5m,

Let us assume speed of drive shaft is N rpm.

Formula to calculate angular velocity is as follows.

Angular velocity of automobile = w = $\frac{V}{R}$

where, V = linear velocity of automobile m/min,

R = turning radius from automobile center in meter

In the given case, angular velocity remains same for inner and outer wheel but there is change in linear velocity of inner wheel and outer wheel.

Now, we assume that

u = linear velocity of inner wheel

and, u' = linear velocity of outer wheel.

Formula for angular velocity of inner wheel w = ,

Formula for angular velocity of outer wheel w =

Now, for inner wheels

w =

= $\frac{u}{(R - d)}$

u = $V \times \frac{(R - d)}{R}$

= $V \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})$

If radius of wheel is r it will cover distance in one min.

Since, velocity of wheel is u it will cover distance u in unit time(min)

Thus, u = $2\pi rn$ = $V \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})$

Now, rotation per minute of inner wheel is calculated as follows.

n = $\frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})}$

= $\frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 - \frac{0.75}{20})}$ (since 2d = 1.5m given, d = 0.75m),

= $\frac{V}{r} \times 0.1532$

So, rotation per minute of outer wheel; n' =

= $\frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 + \frac{0.75}{20})}$

= $\frac{V}{r} \times 0.1651$

What are the two kinds of nucleons?

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The main types of nucleons are protons and neutrons. A proton, as its name suggests, has a positive electric charge, and a neutron has a neutral electric charge (meaning that it has no charge). The two in the nucleus of the atom make a positive charge, since the neutron has no charge at all.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

11.25m

Explanation:

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2} \\ = 0 \times 1.5 + \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times {1.5}^{2} \\ = 5 \times 2.25 \\ = 11.25$
