Which term means the distance between two bridge supports?

The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet, and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.

A train 471 m long is moving on a straight track with a speed of 75.1 km/h. The engineer applies the brakes at a crossing, and l

hram777 [196]

Answer:

$t = 37.6 s$

Explanation:

As we know that train is initially moving with the speed

$v_i = 75.1 km/h$

now we know that

$v_i = 20.86 m/s$

now the final speed of the train when it crossed the crossing

$v_f = 15 km/h$

$v_f = 4.17 m/s$

now we can use kinematics here

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$4.17^2 - 20.86^2 = 2 a(471)$

$a = -0.44 m/s^2$

Now the time to cross that junction is given as

$v_f - v_i = at$

$4.17 - 20.86 = a(-0.44)$

$t = 37.6 s$

Interactive LearningWare 10.1 reviews the concepts involved in this problem. A spring stretches by 0.0161 m when a 3.74-kg objec

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

m = 3.91 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 3.74 kg

Stretching in the spring, x = 0.0161 m

The frequency of vibration, f = 3.84 Hz

When the object is suspended, the gravitational force is balanced by the spring force as :

$mg=kx$

$k=\dfrac{mg}{x}$

$k=\dfrac{3.74\times 9.8}{0.0161}$

k = 2276.52 N/m

The frequency of vibration is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

$m=\dfrac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}$

$m=\dfrac{2276.52}{4\pi^2\times (3.84)^2}$

m = 3.91 kg

So, the mass of the object is 3.91 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.
