A truck with a heavy load has a total mass of 7100 kg. It is climbing a 15∘ incline at a steady 15 m/s when, unfortunately, the

poorly secured load falls off! Immediately after losing the load, the truck begins to accelerate at 1.5 m/s2. Part A What was the mass of the load? Ignore rolling friction.

Answer:

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

Explanation:

Step 1 : Data given

Mass of the truck = 7100 kg

Angle = 15°

velocity = 15m/s

Acceleration = 1.5 m/s²

Mass of truck = m1 kg

Mass of load = m2 kg

Thrust from engine = T

Step 2:

⇒ Before the load falls off, thrust (T) balances the component of total weight downhill:

T = (m1+m2)*g*sinθ

⇒ After the load falls off, thrust (T) remains the same but downhill component of weight becomes  m1*gsinθ .

Resultant force on truck is F = T – m1*gsinθ  

F causes the acceleration of the truck: F= m*a

This gives the equation:

T – m1*gsinθ = m1*a  

T = m1(a + gsinθ)

Combining both equations gives:

(m1+m2)*g*sinθ = m1*(a + gsinθ)

m1*g*sinθ + m2*g*sinθ =m1*a + m1*g*sinθ

m2*g*sinθ = m1*a

Since m1+m2 = 7100kg, m1= 7100 – m2. This we can plug into the previous equation:

m2*g*sinθ = (7100 – m2)*a

m2*g*sinθ = 7100a – m2a

m2*gsinθ + m2*a = 7100a

m2* (gsinθ + a) = 7100a

m2 = 7100a/(gsinθ  + a)

m2 = (7100 * 1.5) / (9.8sin(15°) + 1.5)

m2 = 2636.8 kg

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

Which quantity can be calculated using Newton’s second law of motion?
DiKsa [7]

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

          Net Force  =  (mass) x (acceleration) .

The law shows the relationship among an object's mass
and acceleration, and the net force acting on it.

If you know any two of the quantities in the formula,
the law can be used to calculate the third one.

Answer:

The sum of the initial and final velocity is divided by 2 to find the average. The average velocity calculator uses the formula that shows the average velocity (v) equals the sum of the final velocity (v) and the initial velocity (u), divided by 2.

Consider the following equations of motion.
Helen [10]

A) No, the equations presented above are the product of the derivation of position and velocity when the acceleration is constant.

The equations change to polynomial function of the second degree for the description of the acceleration when described as a function of time.

B) Yes, when the acceleration is zero it is concluded that the velocity is constant, therefore they could be used to describe the position as a function of the change in velocity.

vekshin1

Answer:

0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Second law is satisfied.

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Rate of heat transfer, Q = 2kW

Temperature of hot reservoir, Th = 800K

Temperature of cold reservoir, Tc = 300K

The rate of entropy change is given as:

ΔS = Q * [(1/Tc) - (1/Th)]

ΔS = 2 * (1/300 - 1/800)

ΔS = 2 * 0.002085

ΔS = 0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Since ΔS is greater than 0, te the second law of thermodynamics is satisfied.
