Kinetic Energy,K.E=1/2MV²

mass,m=16kg

velocity,v=4m/s

K.E=1/2×16×4²

=128kgm²/s²

=128 Joules

Given:

Mass(m)=16Kg

Velocity (v)=4m/s

Kinetic energy=1/2mv^2

Where m is the mass

v is the velocity

Kinetic energy=1/2(16x4x4)

Kinetic energy= 128J

After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 27 people including the driver, with an average

lara [203]

Answer:

compression of spring is x = 0.12 m

Assumed k = 160,000 N/m ........ Truck's suspension system

Explanation:

Given:

- The mass of average person m_p = 69 kg

- Total number of persons n_p = 27

- The mass of each goat m_g = 15 kg

- The total number of goats n_g = 3

- The mass of each chicken m_c = 3 kg

- The total number of goats n_c = 5

- The total mass of bananas m_b = 25 kg

Find:

How much are the springs compressed?

Solution:

- Using equilibrium equation on the taptap in vertical direction:

F_net = F_spring - F_weight = 0

- Compute the force due to all the weights on the taptap:

F_weight = (n_p*m_p + n_g*m_g + n_c*m_c + m_b)*9.81

F_weight = (69*27 + 3*15 + 5*3 + 25)*9.81

F_weight = 19109.88 N

- The restoring force of a spring is given by:

F_spring = k*x

Where, k is the spring stiffness and x is the displacement:

F_weight = F_spring

19109.88 = k*x

x = 19109.88 / k

We need to assume the spring stiffness we will take k = 160,0000 N/m (trucks suspension systems). The value of the stiffness must be high enough to sustain a load of 1.911 tonnes.

x = 19109.88 / 160,000

x = 0.1194 m ≈ 0.12 m = 12 cm

- A compression of 12 cm seems reasonable for a taptap to carry 1.911 tonnes of load. Hence, the assumption of spring stiffness was reasonable. Hence, the compression of spring is x = 0.12 m.

Which measurement is a potential difference? A.115J B.115V C.115N D.115C

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential difference has a SI Unit of Volt and its symbol is V. Hence answer is B.

A is wrong as it has the unit Joule (J) which is the SI unit for energy.

C is wrong as it has the unit Newton (N) which is the SI unit for force.

D is wrong as it has the unit Coulomb (C) which is the SI unit of charge.

A sound with an intensity greater than_____ dB can cause damage to human ears.

sergiy2304 [10]

85 decibels or higher can cause damage to the human ear. Decibels is the value of the measurement of sound. Hearing loss can be caused by noise coming from a loud sound. Noise induced hearing loss maybe permanent loss or temporary loss. Examples of activities that can give you a noise induced hearing loss is target shooting, listening to music in your earphones that have a high volume, and using lawnmowers.

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1. 2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf v_i= 4 \ m/s}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the cyclist's initial velocity. We are given the acceleration, final velocity, and time, so we will use the following kinematic equation.

$v_f= v_i + at$
