A school bus has a mass (including the driver and passengers) of 1.64 times 10^4 kg and is driving north at a speed of 15.2 km/h

. Another school bus whose empty mass is 1.578 times 10^4 kg is moving south at a speed of 12.2 km/h. Assuming an average passenger mass of 64.8 kg, what is the minimum number of passengers (including the driver) of the southbound bus so that the total momentum of the two buses is directed south?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of bus along with travelers travelling in North direction is m_1=1.6\times 10^4 kg

speed of bus towards North v_1=15.2 km/h\approx 4.22\ m/s

mass of bus travelling in South direction is m_2=1.578\times 10^4 kg

speed of bus v_2=12.2 km/h\approx 3.38\ m/s

mass of each Passenger in south moving bus m_0=64.8 kg

Momentum of North moving bus

P_1=m_1\times v_1

P_1=1.6\times 10^4\times 4.22

P_1=6.768\times 10^4 kg-m/s

Momentum with south moving bus

P_2=m_2\times v_2+n\cdot m_0\times v_2

P_2=(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38

For total momentum to be towards south

P_2-P_1 should be greater than 0

thus for least value of n

P_2=P_1

(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38=6.768\times 10^4

1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8=2.0023\times 10^4

n=\frac{4243.6686}{64.8}=65.48\approx 66

If I work out rotational energy to be 102.2J which equals kg.M/s^2, and I hadn't factored time into it, would that be Joules per
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

0.057 joules is needed to create the total rotational energy each second.

Explanation:

The energy rate is the ratio of total energy to time, which coincides with the definition of power at constant rate:

\dot W = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t}

\dot W = \frac{102.2\,J}{\left(30\,min\right)\cdot \left(60\,\frac{s}{min} \right)}

\dot W = 0.057\,\frac{J}{s}

\dot W = 0.057\,W

0.057 joules is needed to create the total rotational energy each second.

The electric field strength E is measured as:
soldi70 [24.7K]
The correct answer is
<span>force per unit charge.

In fact, the electric field strength is defined as the electric force per unit charge experienced by a positive test charge located in the electric field. In formula:
</span>E= \frac{F}{q}
where
E is the electric field strength
F is the electric force experienced by the charge
q is the positive test charge.

A viscoelastic polymer that can be assumed to obey the Boltzmann superposition principle is subjected to the following deformati
Slav-nsk [51]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A viscoelastic polymer that can be assumed to obey the Boltzmann superposition principle is subjected to the following deformation cycle. At a time, t = 0, a tensile stress of 20 MPa is applied instantaneously and maintained for 100 s. The stress is then removed at a rate of 0.2 MPa s−1 until the polymer is unloaded. If the creep compliance of the material is given by:

J(t) = Jo (1 - exp (-t/to))

Where,

Jo= 3m^2/ GPA

to= 200s

Determine

a) the strain after 100's (before stress is reversed)

b) the residual strain when stress falls to zero.

Answer:

a)-60GPA

b) 0

Explanation:

Given t= 0,

σ = 20Mpa

Change in σ= 0.2Mpas^-1

For creep compliance material,

J(t) = Jo (1 - exp (-t/to))

J(t) = 3 (1 - exp (-0/100))= 3m^2/Gpa

a) t= 100s

E(t)= ΔσJ (t - Jo)

= 0.2 × 3 ( 100 - 200 )

= 0.6 (-100)

= - 60 GPA

Residual strain, σ= 0

E(t)= Jσ (Jo) ∫t (t - Jo) dt

3 × 0 × 200 ∫t (t - Jo) dt

E(t) = 0

Mnenie [13.5K]

Around 8 hours and 20 minutes

Explanation:

I divided 500 by 60 and got 8.3333333333 and i round it up to 8.20, so it is 8 hours and 20 minutes.
