Two people with a combined mass of 127 kg hop into an old car with worn-out shock absorbers. This causes the springs to compress

by 9.10 cm. When the car hits a bump in the road, it oscillates up and down with a period of 1.66 s. Find the total load supported by the springs.

Answer:

Total load = 2999.126 kg

Explanation:

Let the spring constant of the shock absorber be k.

We know that the force applied on a spring is directly proportional to elongated length and the constant of proportionality is called spring constant.

Thus

Force, F = kx

where,

x = elongation = 9.1 cm 0.091 m

mass of the people, m = 127 kg

F = weight of the people = mg = 127 x 9.8 = 1244.6 N

substituting these values in the first equation,

1244.6 = k x 0.091

thus, k = 13,676.923 N/m

Now we know that the time period, T of an oscillating spring with a load of mass m is

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

$\frac{m}{k} = \frac{T^{2} }{4\pi ^{2} }$

thus,

$m = k\frac{T^{2} }{4\pi ^{2}}$

T = 1.66s

substituting these values in the equation,

$m =13,676.923\frac{1.66^{2} }{4\pi ^{2} }$

m = 2999.126 kg

If I wanted to generate a maximum emf of 20 V, what angular velocity (radians/sec, aka Hz) would be required given a circular co

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Angular velocity, $\omega=35.36\ rad/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Maximum emf generated in the coil, $\epsilon=20\ V$

Diameter of the coil, d = 40 cm

Radius of the coil, r = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Number of turns in the coil, N = 500

Magnetic field in the coil, $B=9\times 10^{-3}\ T$

The angle between the area vector and the magnet field vector varies from 0 to 2 π radians. The formula for the maximum emf generated in the coil is given by :

$\epsilon=NBA\omega$

$\omega=\dfrac{\epsilon}{NBA}$

$\omega=\dfrac{20\ V}{500\times 9\times 10^{-3}\ T\times \pi (0.2\ m)^2}$

$\omega=35.36\ rad/s$

So, the angular velocity of the circular coil is 35.36 rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Clarify the concept of refrection index with example

Degger [83]

The refractive index is used to measure how much light bends as it goes from one medium to another the refractive index of air =1 as light doesn’t bend in it

When looking into a glass of water with a straw the straw may appear bent or morphed as the water has a different refractive index to air (and the light is passing from air to glass of water)

At the top of a cliff 100 m high, Raoul throws a rock upward with velocity 15 m/s. How much later should he drop a second rock f

Talja [164]

Answer:

d. 1.78s

Explanation:

The total time in the air for the second rock can be found with the next equation:

$h=v_{o}t+\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

where $h$ is the height, in this case 100m

$v_{o}$ the inicitial velocity wich is 0 since it came from rest

g is gravity and t is time

So we have:

$100=\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^2)t^2$

$t= \sqrt{\frac{200m}{9.8m/s^2} } =4.52s$

For the fist rock we need to find the time it takes to go up and go back down to the height it was launched:

that time is

$t_{1}=2v_{o}/g =2(15m/s)/9.8m/s^2=3.06s$

and the time the fist rock is going down from that point, we can find in a similar way we did for the fist rock, $t_{2}$ is:

$h=v_{o}t+\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

$100=(15m/s)t_{2}+\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^2)t_{2}^2\\0=-100 + (15m/s)t_{2}+\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^2)t_{2}^2$

$0=-100 + (15m/s)t_{2}+(4.9m/s^2)t_{2}^2$

solving as a quadratic equation for time we get:

$t_{2}=3.24s$

So, the total time for the first rock is:

$t_{1}+t_{2}= 3.06s + 3.24s =6.3s$

<u>This means that the second rock must be dropped 6.3s - 4.52 s = 1.78 seconds later, wich is the difference in the times that it takes for each rock to get to the bottom if the cliff.</u>

Anions are _____ than their neutral parent atom, and cations are _____ than their neutral parent atom.

maxonik [38]

In comparison to their neutral parent atom, anions are bigger and cations are smaller.

<h3>Why are anions of the same element larger than their neutral counterparts?</h3>

They are forced to spread out more due to electron-electron attraction. They can get closer to each other because there is less electron-electron repulsion.

Because cations contain fewer electrons than their parent atoms while maintaining the same nuclear charge, they are always smaller than those atoms. The leftover electrons are therefore held by the protons in the nucleus more tightly, and as a result, their radii are less than those of the parent atoms. With anion, this is the exact opposite.

What is the objects acceleration

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Acceleration is a vector quantity which is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.
