In heavy rush-hour traffic you drive in a straight line at 12 m/s for 1.5 minutes, then you have to stop for 3.5 minutes, and fi

nally you drive at 15 m/s for another 2.5 minutes. (a) Plot the position-versus-time graph for this motion. your plot should extend from t=0 to t=7.5 minutes. (b) Use your plot from part (a) to calculate the average velocity between t=0 and t=7.5 minutes.

To develop this problem we will begin to determine the distances traveled in each of the segments using the linear motion kinematic equations. For this purpose, the distance traveled will be determined by the product between speed and time.

Part A is attached and indicates the graph of distance traveled vs time. And the calculations for development are found below. With the distance traveled and the total time it will be possible to find the average speed of the second part.

In 1.5 min the distance covered was,

d_1 = (1.5 min)(\frac{60s}{1min}) (12m/s) = 1080m

In the next 3.5min the distance covered is 0.

d_2 = 0

The distance covered for the next 2.5 min is

d_3 = (2.5 min)(\frac{60s}{1min})(15m/s)=2250m

Total distance covered is

d_T = d_1+d_2+d_3

d_T = 1080+0+2250

d_T = 3330m

For the average distance we need to use the total distance covered in the total time used. Then,

v_{Avg} = \frac{d_T}{t_T}

v_{Avg} = \frac{3330m}{7.5min (\frac{60s}{1min})}

v_{Avg} = 7.4m/s

A flywheel with radius of 0.400 mm starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.600 rad/s2rad/s2.
charle [14.2K]

Answer: 0.00024\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Radius of flywheel is r=0.4\ mm

Angular acceleration \alpha=0.6\ rad/s^2

For no change in radius, tangential acceleration is  given as

\Rightarrow a_t=a\lpha \times r

Insert the values

\Rightarrow a_t=0.6\times 0.4\times 10^{-3}\ m/s^2\\\Rightarrow a_t=2.4\times 10^{-4}\ m/s^2\ \text{or}\ 0.00024\ m/s^2

A toroidal solenoid with mean radius r and cross-sectional area A is wound uniformly with N1 turns. A second toroidal solenoid w
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Mutual inductance, M=2.28\times 10^{-5}\ H

Explanation:

(a) A toroidal solenoid with mean radius r and cross-sectional area A is wound uniformly with N₁ turns. A second thyroidal solenoid with N₂ turns is wound uniformly on top of the first, so that the two solenoids have the same cross-sectional area and mean radius.

Mutual inductance is given by :

M=\dfrac{\mu_oN_1N_2A}{2\pi r}

(b) It is given that,

N_1=550

N_2=290

Radius, r = 10.6 cm = 0.106 m

Area of toroid, A=0.76\ cm^2=7.6\times 10^{-5}\ m^2

Mutual inductance, M=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 550\times 290\times 7.6\times 10^{-5}}{2\pi \times 0.106}

M=0.0000228\ H

or

M=2.28\times 10^{-5}\ H

So, the value of mutual inductance of the toroidal solenoid is 2.28\times 10^{-5}\ H. Hence, this is the required solution.

What happens when you get a concussion?
madreJ [45]
A concussion, which is a form of mild traumatic brain injury, occurs after a blow to the head. The brain is surrounded by fluid and protective membranes called meninges, which usually cushion the brain. During an impact, the brain is pushed against the inside of the skull and can be bruised.
