A certain light truck can go around a flat curve having a radius of 150 m with a maximum speed of 35.5 m/s. a) What is the coeff

postnew [5]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is 0.833.

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the curve (R) = 150 m

Maximum speed of truck (v) = 35.5 m/s

Let the coefficient of friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck be "μ".

As the truck is moving around a circular curve. So, the force acting on it is centripetal force which acts in the radial inward direction towards the center of the circular curve.

The centripetal force acting on the truck is given as:

$F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}$

Now, the friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is responsible for providing the necessary centripetal force. So, frictional force is equal to the centripetal force necessary for circular motion.

Frictional force is given as:

$f=\mu N$

Where, 'N' is the normal force. Since there is no vertical motion, the normal force is equal to weight of truck. So,

$N=mg$

Therefore, frictional force, $f=\mu mg$

Now, frictional force = centripetal force

$f=F_c\\\\\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\\\\mu = \frac{v^2}{Rg}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'μ'. This gives,

$\mu=\frac{(35\ m/s)^2}{(150\ m)(9.8\ m/s^2)}\\\\\mu=\frac{1225\ m^2/s^2}{1470\ m^2/s^2}\\\\\mu=0.833$

Therefore, the coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is 0.833

____ [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

D = 8.27 m ⇒ R = D / 2 = 8.27 m / 2 = 4.135 m

ω = 0.66 rev/sec = (0.66 rev/sec)*(2π rad/1 rev) = 4.1469 rad/s

We can apply the equation

Ff = W ⇒ μ*N = m*g (I)

then we have

N = Fc = m*ac = m*(ω²*R)

Returning to the equation I

μ*N = m*g ⇒ μ*m*ω²*R = m*g ⇒ μ = g / (ω²*R)

Finally

μ = (9.81 m/s²) / ((4.1469 rad/s)²*4.135 m) = 0.1379

.Find the uncertainty in a calculated electrical potential difference from the measurements of current and resistance. Electric

maw [93]

Answer:

a) The uncertainty in calculated V, ΔV = 25.3

b) The uncertainty in calculated v, Δv = 0.41 m/s

c) The uncertainty in calculated V, ΔV = 22.2 V

Explanation:

We'll use Upper-Lower Bounds method of uncertainty to estimate the uncertainties.

a) I = 5.1 A, ΔI = 0.3 A

I = (5.1 ± 0.3) A

R = 77.5 ohms, ΔR = 0.4 ohms

R = (77.5 ± 0.4) ohms

V = IR = 5.1 × 77.5 = 395.25 V

The lower bound for the voltage will be calculated using the lower bounds for the current and resistance

Iₗ = 5.1 - 0.3 = 4.8 A

Rₗ = 77.5 - 0.4 = 77.1 ohms

Vₗ = 4.8 × 77.1 = 370.08 V

The upper bound for the voltage will be calculated using the upper bounds for the current and resistance

Iᵤ = 5.1 + 0.3 = 5.4 A

Rᵤ = 77.5 + 0.4 = 77.9 ohms

Vᵤ = 5.4 × 77.9 = 420.66 V

The average of the differences from the mean voltage/true value is 25.3 V

V = 395.25 V, Δ = 25.3V

V = (395.25 ± 25.3) V

b) x = 2.9 m, Δx = 0.3 m

x = (2.9 ± 0.3) m

t = 4.4 s, Δt = 1.8 s

t = (4.4 ± 1.8) ohms

v = x/t = 2.9/4.4 = 0.659 m/s

The lower bound for average speed will be calculated using the lower bounds for distance and upper bounds for time.

xₗ = 2.9 - 0.3 = 2.6 m

tᵤ = 4.4 + 1.8 = 6.2 s

vₗ = 2.6/6.2 = 0.419 m/s

The upper bound for the average speed will be calculated using the upper bound for the distance and lower bound for time

xᵤ = 2.9 + 0.3 = 3.2 m

tₗ = 4.4 - 1.8 = 2.6 s

vᵤ = 3.2/2.6 = 1.231 m/s

The average of the differences from the mean average speed/true value is 0.41 m/s

v = 0.659 m/s, Δv = 0.41 m/s

v = (0.659 ± 0.41) m/s

c) ) I = 9.8 A, ΔI = 0.5 A

I = (9.8 ± 0.5) A

R = 40.5 ohms, ΔR = 0.2 ohms

R = (40.5 ± 0.2) ohms

V = IR = 9.8 × 40.5 = 396.9 V

The lower bound for the voltage will be calculated using the lower bounds for the current and resistance

Iₗ = 9.8 - 0.5 = 9.3 A

Rₗ = 40.5 - 0.2 = 40.3 ohms

Vₗ = 9.3 × 40.3 = 374.79 V

The upper bound for the voltage will be calculated using the upper bounds for the current and resistance

Iᵤ = 9.8 + 0.5 = 10.3 A

Rᵤ = 40.5 + 0.2 = 40.7 ohms

Vᵤ = 10.3 × 40.7 = 419.21 V

The average of the differences from the mean voltage/true value is 22.2 V

V = 396.9 V, Δ = 22.2 V

V = (396.9 ± 22.2) V

What is kinetic energy

mixas84 [53]

(symbol K) Energy that an object possesses because it is in motion. It is the energy given to an object to set it in motion; it depends on the mass (m) of the object and its velocity (v), according to the equation K = 1/2 mv2. On impact, it is converted into other forms of energy such as heat, sound and light.
