Does a stick of dynamite contain force?

1 answer:

8 0

No. Force isn't something you can enclose in a box, an envelope,
or a bottle.

A stick of dynamite contains some amount of a chemical compound which,
when triggered by enough heat or shock, undergoes a chemical reaction
that proceeds very rapidly, and generates a large quantity of gases before
the gases can dissipate. This creates very high pressure around the reaction,
and it's this pressure in a small volume that exerts great force for a very short
time. The whole process is often described as an "explosion".

ivanzaharov [21]

The formula for maximum distance is
X = (V^2 / g) * sin (2 * theta)
10 = (V^2 / 9.8) * sin (2 * 20)
10 = (V^2 / 9.0) * sin(40)
10 = (V^2 / 9.8) * 0.324
v^2 = (10 / 0.324) * 9.8
V^2 = 302.47
v = 17.39 meters/sec (takeoff speed)

The horizontal speed is = Takeoff Speed * Cos(20) = 17.39 * 0.910 = 16.341 meters / sec

How does a virus reproduce

omeli [17]

A virus particle is not a complete cell but an intracellular parasite. Hence, it cannot reproduce without the help of a host cell. Once inside a host cell, the virus is made in such a way that it replicates itself. There are two ways in which viruses reproduce or multiply their numbers: the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle.

Answer:

compression of spring is x = 0.12 m

Assumed k = 160,000 N/m ........ Truck's suspension system

Explanation:

Given:

- The mass of average person m_p = 69 kg

- Total number of persons n_p = 27

- The mass of each goat m_g = 15 kg

- The total number of goats n_g = 3

- The mass of each chicken m_c = 3 kg

- The total number of goats n_c = 5

- The total mass of bananas m_b = 25 kg

Find:

How much are the springs compressed?

Solution:

- Using equilibrium equation on the taptap in vertical direction:

F_net = F_spring - F_weight = 0

- Compute the force due to all the weights on the taptap:

F_weight = (n_p*m_p + n_g*m_g + n_c*m_c + m_b)*9.81

F_weight = (69*27 + 3*15 + 5*3 + 25)*9.81

F_weight = 19109.88 N

- The restoring force of a spring is given by:

F_spring = k*x

Where, k is the spring stiffness and x is the displacement:

F_weight = F_spring

19109.88 = k*x

x = 19109.88 / k

We need to assume the spring stiffness we will take k = 160,0000 N/m (trucks suspension systems). The value of the stiffness must be high enough to sustain a load of 1.911 tonnes.

x = 19109.88 / 160,000

x = 0.1194 m ≈ 0.12 m = 12 cm

- A compression of 12 cm seems reasonable for a taptap to carry 1.911 tonnes of load. Hence, the assumption of spring stiffness was reasonable. Hence, the compression of spring is x = 0.12 m.
