Say you have a differential drive robot that has an axle length of 30cm and wheel diameter of 10cm. Find the angular velocity fo
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

a) ω1 = 18rpm    ω2 = -18rpm

b) ω1 = 102rpm     ω2 = 138rpm

c) ω1 = ω2 = 3.18rpm

Explanation:

For the first case, we know that each wheel will spin in a different direction but with the same magnitude, so:

ωr = 6rpm   This is the angular velocity of the robot

\omega = \frac{\omega r * D/2}{r_{wheel}}  where D is 30cm and rwheel is 5cm

\omega = \frac{6 * 30/2}{5}=18rpm  One velocity will be positive and the other will be negative:

ω1 = 18rpm    ω2 = -18rpm

For part b, the formula is the same but distances change. Rcircle=100cm:

\omega 1 = \frac{\omega r * (R_{circle} - D/2)}{r_{wheel}}

\omega 2 = \frac{\omega r * (R_{circle} + D/2)}{r_{wheel}}

Replacing values, we get:

\omega 1 = \frac{6 * (100 - 30/2)}{5}=102rpm

\omega 2 = \frac{\omega r * (100 + 30/2)}{5}=138rpm

For part c, both wheels must have the same velocity:

\omega = \frac{V_{robot}}{r_{wheel}}=20rad/min

\omega = 20rad/min * \frac{1rev}{2*\pi rad}=3.18rpm

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 23.7m/s in 6.5 seconds. Find the distance the
frez [133]

The car's average speed during that time is (23.7/2) = 11.85 m/s .

     Distance = (11.85 m/s) x (6.5 sec) = 77.025 meters .

A 400 hp engine in a 1,600 kg car applies maximum force for 2 seconds to accelerate the car onto the
babymother [125]

Answer:

I will assume that “maximum force” implies the constant application of power  P  = 400 hp (international) to accelerating the vehicle. The force will therefore vary with speed as the vehicle accelerates. I will also assume that all engine energy goes into accelerating the vehicle, rather than rotating elements like its wheels.

In this case the 400 hp (equivalent to 298,280 watts) is applied for time  t  = 2 seconds. Therefore the kinetic energy of the vehicle is increased by:

ΔKE=Pt=(298,280)(2)=596,560  joules.

The initial kinetic energy is:

KEinitial=12mv2

=(0.5)(1600)(82)=51,200  joules.

Therefore final kinetic energy is:

KEfinal=KEinitial+ΔKE

=51,200+596,560

=647,760  joules

Therefore final vehicle velocity can be found:

KEfinal=12mv2

v=2KEfinalm−−−−−−−−√

=(2)(647,760)1600−−−−−−−−−−−√

= 28.455 m/s

What steps are involved in converting potential energy to kinetic energy
melomori [17]

Answer:

Decreasing in altitude and increasing in velocity

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

E_p = mgh

where m is mass, g is constant gravitational energy and h is the potential altitude.

The formula for kinetic energy is:

E_k = mv^2/2

where v is the velocity

Since m,g are constant, to convert from potential energy to kinetic energy, h must decreases while v increases. For example dropping an object from a height.

I definitely agree with choise that you consider to be as a correct one. I am pretty sure that prganism is correct because this is a unit which ebrases all the mentioned points. And in simple words, the rest of options represent collective objects but you have to answer with sole one. Hope you find it helpful.
