D = 0.9 km = 900 m, distance moved
v = 35 nm/s , the speed

v = 35 x 10⁻⁹ m/s
= (35 x 10⁻⁹ m/s)*(365 days/y)*(24*60*60 s/day)
= 1.1038 m/y

The time iaken is
t = d/v
= (900 m)/(1.1038 m/y)
= 815.365 y

Answer: 815.4 y (nearest tenth)

The suspension system of a 1700 kg automobile "sags" 7.7 cm when the chassis is placed on it. Also, the oscillation amplitude de

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

the spring constant k = $5.409*10^4 \ N/m$

the value for the damping constant $\\ \\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s$

Explanation:

From Hooke's Law

$F = kx\\\\k =\frac{F}{x}\\\\where \ F = mg\\\\k = \frac{mg}{x}\\\\given \ that:\\\\mass \ of \ each \ wheel = 425 \ kg\\\\x = 7.7cm = 0.077 m\\\\g = 9.8 \ m/s^2\\\\Then;\\\\k = \frac{425 \ kg * 9.8 \ m/s^2}{0.077 \ m}\\\\k = 5.409*10^4 \ N/m$

Thus; the spring constant k = $5.409*10^4 \ N/m$

The amplitude is decreasing 37% during one period of the motion

$e^{\frac{-bT}{2m}}= \frac{37}{100}\\\\e^{\frac{-bT}{2m}}= 0.37\\\\\frac{-bT}{2m} = In(0.37)\\\\\frac{-bT}{2m} = -0.9943\\\\b = \frac{2m(0.9943)}{T}\\\\b = \frac{2m(0.9943)}{\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}}\\\\b = \frac{m(0.9943) \ ( \omega) )}{ \pi}$

$b = \frac{m(0.9943)(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m})}}{\pi}\\\\b = \frac{425*(0.9943)(\sqrt{\frac{5.409*10^4}{425}) } }{3.14}\\\\b = 1518.24 \ kg/s\\\\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s$

Therefore; the value for the damping constant $\\ \\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s$

The 1.53-kg uniform slender bar rotates freely about a horizontal axis through O. The system is released from rest when it is in

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

Explanation:

From the diagram attached below; we use the conservation of energy to determine the spring constant by using to formula:

$T_1+V_1=T_2+V_2$

$0+0 = \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg (a+b) sin \ \theta }{2} \\ \\ k \delta^2 = mg (a+b) sin \ \theta \\ \\ k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{\delta^2}$

Also;

$\delta = \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2}$

Thus;

$k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{( \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2})^2}$

where;

$\delta$ = deflection in the spring

k = spring constant

b = remaining length in the rod

m = mass of the slender bar

g = acceleration due to gravity

$k = \frac{(1.53*9.8)(0.6+0.2) sin \ 64 }{( \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2 +2*0.6*0.6 sin \ 64} - \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2})^2}$

$k = 104.82\ \ N/m$

Thus; the spring constant = 104.82 N/m

b

The angular velocity can be calculated by also using the conservation of energy;

$T_1+V_1 = T_3 +V_3 \\ \\ 0+0 = \frac{1}{2}I_o \omega_3^2+\frac{1}{2}k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \theta }{2} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} \frac{m(a+b)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \ \theta }{2} =0$

$\frac{m(a+b)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + k(\sqrt{h^2+a^2+2ah sin \theta } - \sqrt{h^2+a^2})^2 - mg(a+b)sin \theta = 0$

$\frac{1.53(0.6+0.6)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + 104.82(\sqrt{0.6^2+0.6^2+2(0.6*0.6) sin 32 } - \sqrt{0.6^2+0.6^2})^2 - (1.53*9.81)(0.6+0.2)sin \ 32 = 0$

$0.7344 \omega_3^2 = 2.128$

$\omega _3 = \sqrt{\frac{2.128}{0.7344} }$

$\omega _3 =1.70 \ rad/s$

Thus, the angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

A runner accelerated to 4 m/s^2 for 20 seconds before winning the race.How far did he/she run?

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

s=800 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration of a runner, a = 4 m/s²

Time, t = 20 seconds

We need to find the distance covered by her. Initially, she was at rest. It means its initial velocity is equal to 0. So, using second equation of motion as follows :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Herre, u = 0

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times (20)^2\\\\s=800\ m$

So, she will cover a distance of 800 m.
