How do you identify the zero reference position for calculating mechanical potential energy? What is the most common zero refere

ANTONII [103]3 years ago

<span>The zero reference position should be the position the system has the least potential energy. As an object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Gravity's ability to do work (potential energy) reaches zero when it hits the ground and stops falling, hence the ground is the most common zero reference position.</span>

Please, Help!!

Let, 1st force = a

2nd force = b

A.T.Q,

a+b = 10

a-b = 6

Calculate for a & b, you'll get a=8 & b= 2

After increasing by 3, it'll be a = 8+3 = 11 & b=2+3 = 5

Resultant force at 90 degree angle = 11+5 = 16 Newtons

An automobile engine can produce 153 N · m of torque. Calculate the angular acceleration (in rad/s^2) produced if 85.2% of this
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

46.2 rad/s2

Explanation:

Angular acceleration works very similar to linear acceleration, it follows this equation:

\gamma = \frac{Mt}{J}

Where:

γ: angular acceleration

Mt: torque

J: moment of inertia of the load from its turning axis

Since we have the torque we just need the moment of inertia. We have to add together the moments of the drive shaft, tires, wheel walls and wheels.

The wheels act like disks. For disks the moment of inertia is:

J = \frac{1}{2} * m * r^2

Jwheel = \frac{1}{2} = 15 * 0.18^2 = 0.243 kg*m^2

The wheel walls act like annular rings, for these the moment of inertia is:

J = \frac{1}{2} * m * (re^2 - ri^2)

Jwall = \frac{1}{2} * 2 * (0.32^2 - 0.18^2) = 0.07 kg * m^2

The tread acts like a hoop, as in mass concentrated into a circunference, for these:

J = m * r^2

Jtread = 10 * 0.33^2 = 1.09 kg*m^2

The axle acts like a rod, which is the same as the disk:

Jaxle = \frac{1}{2} * 14.1 * 0.02^2 = 0.0028 kg*m^2

The drive shaft acts like a rod too:

Jshaft = \frac{1}{2} * 31.7 * 0.032^2 = 0.016 kg*m^2

SO, the total moment of inertia is:

J = 2*Jwheel + 2*Jwall + 2*Jtread + Jaxle + Jshaft

J = 2*0.243 + 2*0.07 + 2*1.09 + 0.0028 + 0.016 = 2.82 kg*m2

Finally the angular acceleration is:

\gamma = \frac{0.852 * 153}{2.82} = 46.2 \frac{rad}{s^2}

When sunlight strikes oil on the surface of water a variety of colors are observed what is the best explanation for this observa
klio [65]
Light waves are reflected from front and back surfaces of the thin films and constructive interference between the two reflected waves occurs in different places for different wavelengths. Light shining on the upper surface of the thin film with thickness t is partly reflected at the upper surface (path abc). Light transmitted from the upper surface is partly reflected at the lower surface (path abdef). The two reflected waves come together at point P on the retina of the eye. Depending on the phase relationship, they may interfere constructively or destructively. Different colors have different wavelengths, so the interference may be constructive for some colors and destructive for others.
