Answer:

The answer is: The increased voltage causes an increase in power usage, and the device will over-heat.

Explanation:

First, we must consider the variables of the electrical system that will allow us to respond. In this case, power, current and voltage, which are related by

P=VI

Where P=Power, V=Voltage, I=Current.

In the equation it can be observed that power is directly proportional to the system voltage. Thus, if the voltage increases as in this case, the power will also increase, which overheats the device and can cause damage to it.

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The value of tangential acceleration \alpha_{t} =  40 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

The value of radial acceleration \alpha_{r} = 80 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Explanation:

Angular acceleration = 50 \frac{rad}{s^{2} }

Radius of the disk = 0.8 m

Angular velocity = 10 \frac{rad}{s}

We know that tangential acceleration is given by the formula \alpha_{t} = r \alpha

Where r =  radius of the disk

\alpha = angular acceleration

⇒ \alpha_{t} = 0.8 × 50

⇒ \alpha_{t} = 40 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

This is the value of tangential acceleration.

Radial acceleration is given by

\alpha_{r} = \frac{V^{2} }{r}

Where V = velocity of the disk = r \omega

⇒ V = 0.8 × 10

⇒ V = 8 \frac{m}{s}

Radial acceleration

\alpha_{r} = \frac{8^{2} }{0.8}

\alpha_{r} = 80 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

This is the value of radial acceleration.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer: the effective design stiffness required to limit the bumper maximum deflection during impact to 4 cm is 3906250 N/m

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of vehicle m = 1000 kg

for a low speed test; V = 2.5 m/s

bumper maximum deflection = 4 cm = 0.04 m

First we determine the energy of the vehicle just prior to impact;

W_v = 1/2mv²

we substitute

W_v = 1/2 × 1000 × (2.5)²

W_v = 3125 J

now, the the effective design stiffness k will be:

at the impact point, energy of the vehicle converts to elastic potential energy of the bumper;

hence;

W_v = 1/2kx²

we substitute

3125 = 1/2 × k (0.04)²

3125 = 0.0008k

k = 3125 / 0.0008

k = 3906250 N/m

Therefore, the effective design stiffness required to limit the bumper maximum deflection during impact to 4 cm is 3906250 N/m
