car falls 1.10 m to the floor. a. How fast is the toy car going when it reaches the table edge? (ans: 3.25 m/s) b. Solve for the range of the toy car after it leaves the table. (ans: 1.54 m)
1 answer:
Answer:
a) The velocity of the toy car is 1.80 m/s when it reaches the edge of the table.
b) The range of the toy car is 0.853 m.
Explanation:
a) While the car is traveling in a straight line with constant acceleration the equation of the velocity and position will be:
v = v0 + a · t
x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²
Where:
v = velocity at time "t".
v0 = initial velocity.
a = acceleration.
t = time.
x = position at time "t".
x0 = initial positon.
First, let´s find the time it takes the car to travel the distance of 0.650 m on the table (placing the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the car starts, x0 = 0):
x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²
0.650 m = 0 m + 0 m/s · t + 1/2 · 2.50 m/s² · t²
2 · 0.650 m / 2.50 m/s² = t²
t = 0.721 s
Now, using the equation of the velocity, we can calculate the velocity when the car reaches the table edge:
v = v0 + a · t
v = 0 m/s + 2.50 m/s² · 0.721 s
v = 1.80 m/s
The velocity of the toy car is 1.80 m/s when it reaches the edge of the table.
b) Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem. The origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the table.
The position of the car while it is falling can be calculated using this equation:
r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)
Where:
r = position vector at time "t".
x0 = initial horizontal position.
v0x = initial horizontal velocity.
t = time.
y0 = initial vertical position.
v0y = initial vertical velocity.
g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).
When the car reaches the ground, the y-component of the position vector is -1.10 m (see "ry final" in the figure). Using that information, we can calculate the time it takes the car to reach the ground. With that time, we can calculate then the range:
y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²
-1.10 m = 0 + 0 - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t² (why is v0y = 0? hint: see the direction of the vector velocity when the car reaches the edge of the table. In red in the figure).
-1.10 m / -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² = t²
t = 0.474 s
Now, using the equation of the x-component of the vector r, we can obtain the range:
x = x0 + v0x · t
x = 0 + 1.80 m/s · 0.474 s
x = 0.853 m
The range of the toy car is 0.853 m.

From the question,
Using Impulse, the product of the constant force, F and time t equals the product of the mass of the body and change in velocity.
This implies that
You can also use the equation of linear motion,

Forward thrust has positive values and reverse thrust has negative values.
Thrust is a sudden push or pull in a certain direction.
a)
Flight speed u = 150 km/h
1 km/h = km/s
therefore, 150 km/h = 41.67 km / s
The thrust force represents the horizontal or x-component of momentum equation:
T = 50 * (150 - 41.67)
T = 5416.67 N
Therefore, the value of forward thrust is 5416.67 N.
b)
Now the exhaust velocity is now vertical due to reverse thrust application, then it has a zero horizontal component,
thus thrust equation is:
T = 50 * (0 - 41.67)
T = -2083.5 N
Therefore, the thrust force T is -2083.5 N in the reverse direction.
c)
Now the exhaust velocity and flight velocity is zero, then it has a zero horizontal component, thus thrust is also zero because
T = 0
Therefore, there is no difference in two velocities in x direction.
The given question is incomplete, the complete question is,
"The idling engines of a landing turbojet produce forward thrust when operating in a normal manner, but they can produce reverse thrust if the jet is properly deflected. Suppose that while the aircraft rolls down the runway at 150 km/h the idling engine consumes air at 50 kg/s and produces an exhaust velocity of 150 m/s.
a. What is the forward thrust of this engine?
b. What are the magnitude and direction (i.e., forward or reverse) if the exhaust is deflected 90 degree without affecting the mass flow?
c. What are the magnitude and direction of the thrust (forward or reverse) after the plane has come to a stop, with 90 degree exhaust deflection and an airflow of 40 kg/s?"
