A cyclist is riding a bicycle at a speed of 22 mph on a horizontal road. The distance between the axles is 42 in., and the mass

center of the cyclist and the bicycle is located 26 in. behind the front axle and 40 in. above the ground. If the cyclist applies the brakes only on the front wheel, determine the shortest distance in which he can stop without being thrown over the front wheel. The shortest distance in which the cyclist can stop without being thrown over the front wheel is

Answer:

The shortest distance is  S = 24.86 ft

Explanation:

The free body diagram of this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

   The speed of the bicycle is v_b = 22\ mph = 22 * \frac{5280}{3600}   =  32.26 ft/s

     The distance between the axial is  d = 42 \ in

The mass center of the cyclist and the bicycle is m_c = 26 \ in  behind the front axle

The mass center of the cyclist and the bicycle is m_h = 40 \ in above the ground

   For the bicycle not to be thrown over the

     Momentum about the back wheel must be zero so

                \sum _B = 0

=>             mg (26) = ma(40)

=>             a = \frac{26}{40} g

Here  g = 32.2 ft/s^2

     So     a =  \frac{26}{40} (32.2)

             a =  20.93 ft/s^2

Apply the equation of motion to this motion we have

       v^2 = u^2 + 2as

 Where  u = 32.26 ft /s

             and v = 0 since the bicycle is coming to a stop

        v^2 = (32.26)^2 - 2(20.93) S

=>      S = 24.86 ft

A student has a displacement of 304 m north in 180 s. What was the student's average velocity?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

v = 1.69 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Displacement of the student is 304 m due North and it takes 180 s.

We need to find the student's average velocity. Using formula of velocity.

Velocity = displacement/time

v=\dfrac{304\ m}{180\ s}\\\\v=1.69\ m/s

Hence, the student's average velocity is 1.69 m/s.

If 34.7 g of O2 reacts with iron to form 79.34 g of iron oxide, how much iron was used in the reaction?
zhuklara [117]

Answer: B. 44.64 g

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Mass of reactants = mass of iron + mass of oxygen = mass of iron + 34.7 g

Mass of product = mass of iron oxide = 79.34 g

As Mass of reactants = Mass of product

mass of iron + 34.7 g = 79.34 g

mass of iron = 44.64 g

Thus 44.64 g of iron was used in the reaction

Percentage Error is a measurement of the discrepancy between an observed and a true, or accepted value.

[ refer the attachment. ]

According to Question,

% error = \frac{7.4 - 7.6}{7.6} × 100

= 2.631 % = 2.7 % (approximately.)

hope it helps!

An object with mass 3.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring stiffness constant k = 270 N/m and is executing simple harmonic m
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Part a)

A = 0.066 m

Part b)

maximum speed = 0.58 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that angular frequency of spring block system is given as

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

here we know

m = 3.5 kg

k = 270 N/m

now we have

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{270}{3.5}}

\omega = 8.78 rad/s

Part a)

Speed of SHM at distance x = 0.020 m from its equilibrium position is given as

v = \omega \sqrt{A^2 - x^2}

0.55 = 8.78 \sqrt{A^2 - 0.020^2}

A = 0.066 m

Part b)

Maximum speed of SHM at its mean position is given as

v_{max} = A\omega

v_{max} = 0.066(8.78) = 0.58 m/s
