A rocket sled for testing equipment under large accelerations starts at rest and accelerates according to the expression a = (3.

6 m/s 3 )t + (5.6 m/s 2 ). How far does the sled move in the time interval t = 0 to t = 1.6 s ? Answer in units of m.

Answer:

9.6 m

Explanation:

This is a  case of motion under variable acceleration . So no law of motion formula will be applicable here. We shall have to integrate the given equation .

a = 3.6 t + 5.6

d²x / dt² = 3.6 t + 5.6

Integrating on both sides

dx /dt = 3.6 t² / 2 + 5.6 t + c

where c is a constant.

dx /dt = 1.8  t²  + 5.6 t + c

when t = 0 , velocity dx /dt is zero

Putting these values in the equation above

0 = 0 +0 + c

c = 0

dx /dt = 1.8  t²  + 5.6 t

Again integrating on both sides

x = 1.8 t³ / 3 + 5.6 x t² /2 + c₁

x = 0.6 t³  + 2.8  t²  + c₁

when t =0,  x = 0

c₁ = 0

x = 0.6 t³  + 2.8  t²  

when t = 1.6

x = .6 x 1.6³ + 2.8 x 1.6²

= 2.4576 + 7.168

= 9.6256

9.6 m

A kangaroo can jump over an object 2.46 m high. (a) Calculate its vertical speed (in m/s) when it leaves the ground.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

a) 6.95 m/s

b) 1.42 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2\times -9.81\times 2.46-0^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 2.46}\\\Rightarrow u=6.95\ m/s

a) The vertical speed when it leaves the ground. is 6.95 m/s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-6.95}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=0.71\ s

Time taken to reach the maximum height is 0.71 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.46=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.46\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.71\ s

Time taken to reach the ground from the maximum height is 0.71 seconds

b) Time it stayed in the air is 0.71+0.71 = 1.42 seconds

For a maximum superelevation of 0.08 ft/ft and a degree of curve of 4o, calculate the maximum safe speed for the curve assuming
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

Superelation= 0.08ft/ft

Given curve= u•

Curve junction factor= 0.13

DR= 5729.57795

R = 5729.57795/D

R = 5729.57795/4

R = 1432.4ft

c + f = V^2/gG

0.08 + 0.13 = V^2 / (32*1432.4)

V^2 = 9625.728 or V = 98 ft/sec

The designed speed for a project considered is a minimum value which means the highway design elements will meet or exceed the standards for the design speed. The maximum safe speed under normal condition is significantly greater than design speed
