(a) 328.6 kg m/s

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger in the car is equal to the change in momentum of the passenger:

$I=\Delta p = m\Delta v$

where

m = 62.0 kg is the mass of the passenger

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity of the car (and the passenger), which is

$\Delta v = 5.30 m/s - 0 = 5.30 m/s$

So, the linear impulse experienced by the passenger is

$I=(62.0 kg)(5.30 m/s)=328.6 kg m/s$

(b) 404.7 N

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger is also equal to the product between the average force and the time interval:

$I=F \Delta t$

where in this case

$I=328.6 kg m/s$ is the linear impulse

$\Delta t = 0.812 s$ is the time during which the force is applied

Solving the equation for F, we find the magnitude of the average force experienced by the passenger:

$F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{328.6 kg m/s}{0.812 s}=404.7 N$

A maintenance worker wants to torque an engine bolt to 65.0 N m. If the torque wrench is 35cm in length, what is force applied t

harina [27]

Answer:

Force = 186 N

Explanation:

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force. It can be easely calculated using the formula :

$Torque = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

Where $\vec{r}$ is a vector that from the origin of the coordinate system to the point at which the force is applied (the position vector), $\vec{F}$ is the applied force.

The easiest way of computing the force is by setting the origin of the coordinate system to the lowest point of the torque wrench. By doing this we have that $r$ (the magnitud of the position vector) is 35cm.

Before computing the force we need to set all our values to the international system of units (SI). The torque is already in SI. The one missing is the length of the torque wrench (it is in centimeters and we need it in meters). So :

$35cm * \dfrac{1m}{100cm} = 0.35m$

Now using the torque formula:

$Torque = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

$Torque = rFsin(\theta)}$

Where $\theta$ is the smaller angle between the force and the position vector. Because the force is applied perpendiculary to the position vector $\theta = 90°$ , thus :

$Torque = rFsin(\theta)}$

$65 N m = (0.35m)Fsin(90°)}$

$F = \dfrac{65N m} {(0.35m)sin(90°)}$

$F = \dfrac{65N m} {(0.35m)sin(90°)}$

$F = \dfrac{1300} {7}N$

so the force is approximately 186 N.

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why? Because it uses Pascal's idea and principle: F=p*S. If we apply small force to small piston you will generate a pressure. According to Pascal's law pressure is the same everywhere in closed system so the same pressure will act on large piston on the other side too.

A sprinf has a potential energy of 84.08 J and a constant of 342.25 N/m. How far it been stretched? Use potential energy elastic

valina [46]

The spring has been stretched 0.701 m

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is the potential energy stored in the spring due to its compression/stretching. It is calculated as

$E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where

k is the spring constant

x is the elongation of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position

For the spring in this problem, we have:

E = 84.08 J (potential energy)

k = 342.25 N/m (spring constant)

Therefore, its elongation is:

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(84.08)}{342.25}}=0.701 m$

Given the following situation of marble in motion on rolling 10 m/s horizontally from a height of 1.5-m with negligible friction

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The ball would hit the floor approximately $0.55\; \rm s$ after leaving the table.

The ball would travel approximately $5.5\; \rm m$ horizontally after leaving the table.

(Assumption: $g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .)

Explanation:

Let $\Delta h$ denote the change to the height of the ball. Let $t$ denote the time (in seconds) it took for the ball to hit the floor after leaving the table. Let $v_0(\text{vertical})$ denote the initial vertical velocity of this ball.

If the air resistance on this ball is indeed negligible: $\displaystyle \Delta h = -\frac{1}{2}\, g\, t^{2} + v_0(\text{vertical}) \cdot t$ .

The ball was initially travelling horizontally. In other words, before leaving the table, the vertical velocity of the ball was $v_0(\text{vertical}) = 0 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

The height of the table was $1.5\; \rm m$ . Therefore, after hitting the floor, the ball would be $1.5\; \rm m \!$ below where it was before leaving the table. Hence, $\Delta h = -1.5\;\rm m$ .

The equation becomes:

$\displaystyle -1.5 = -\frac{9.81}{2} \, t^{2}$ .

Solve for $t$ :

$\displaystyle t = \sqrt{1.5 \times \frac{2}{9.81}} \approx 0.55$ .

In other words, it would take approximately $0.55\; \rm s$ for the ball to hit the floor after leaving the table.

Since the air resistance on the ball is negligible, the horizontal velocity of this ball would be constant (at $v(\text{horizontal}) =10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ ) until the ball hits the floor.

The ball was in the air for approximately $t = 0.55\; \rm s$ and would have travelled approximately $v(\text{horizontal})\cdot t \approx 5.5\;\rm m$ horizontally during the flight.
