A device is needed to accelerate a 3000 lb vehicle into a barrier with constant velocity to test its 5 mph bumpers. The vehicle

will start at rest, move forward, and have constant velocity for the last part of its motion before striking the barrier with the specified velocity.
Design a cam-follower system to do this. The vehicle will leave contact with your follower just prior to the crash.

Answer:

The cam-follower system is designed such that the vehicle will move at a speed, v = $\frac{Fgt}{W}$

Explanation:

The vehicle starts at rest, u = 0 m/s

Some force, F, will be applied by the device on the truck

The force is given by the equation, F = ma

a = F/m..........(1)

The weight of the vehicle is given by W = mg

m = W/g.........(2)

Substituting equation (2) into (1)

a = F ÷ (W/g)

a = gF/W............(3)

The applied force makes the vehicle to move with constant velocity, v

From the equation of motion, v = u + at............(4)

v = 0 + (gF/W)t

v = $\frac{Fgt}{W}$

Answer:

The device acceleration is

a = f/m = f/(w/g)=fg/w

The velocity v is

v= u +at

When u =o

v = at

Substitute the value of a

v = fgt/w

A 15.00 mL sample of a solution of H2SO4 of unknown concentration was titrated with 0.3200M NaOH. the titration required 21.30 m

natima [27]

Answer:

a. 0.4544 N

b. $5.112 \times 10^{-5 M}$

Explanation:

For computing the normality and molarity of the acid solution first we need to do the following calculations

The balanced reaction

$H_2SO_4 + 2NaOH = Na_2SO_4 + 2H_2O$

$NaOH\ Mass = Normality \times equivalent\ weight \times\ volume$

$= 0.3200 \times 40 g \times 21.30 mL \times 1L/1000mL$

= 0.27264 g

$NaOH\ mass = \frac{mass}{molecular\ weight}$

$= \frac{0.27264\ g}{40g/mol}$

= 0.006816 mol

Now

Moles of $H_2SO_4$ needed is

$= \frac{0.006816}{2}$

= 0.003408 mol

$Mass\ of\ H_2SO_4 = moles \times molecular\ weight$

$= 0.003408\ mol \times 98g/mol$

= 0.333984 g

Now based on the above calculation

a. Normality of acid is

$= \frac{acid\ mass}{equivalent\ weight \times volume}$

$= \frac{0.333984 g}{49 \times 0.015}$

= 0.4544 N

b. And, the acid solution molarity is

$= \frac{moles}{Volume}$

$= \frac{0.003408 mol}{15\ mL \times 1L/1000\ mL}$

= 0.00005112

= $5.112 \times 10^{-5 M}$

We simply applied the above formulas

Which type of inappropriate practice most likely occurred if a researcher takes credit for someone else’s idea and does not ackn

Rashid [163]

Answer: the answer is plagiarism.

Explanation: Plagiarism is the act of taking credit from someone else's works or ideas, without acknowledging the author. <u>Conflict of interest</u> occurs when an employee has <u>interests that are at odds to each other</u>, which isn't shown at the excerpt given in the exercise. <u>Fabrication</u> is the <u>creation of intellectual property</u>, also not shown in the exercise, and <u>falsification</u> is the <u>creation of a scientific hypothesis</u> that <u>cannot be verified</u> by lack of practical evidence, which is not the case described as well.

There is evidence that liquid water existed on Mars at some time in the past. What is the evidence found indicating the presence

Norma-Jean [14]

There mag be water on Mars but it’s not very easy to spot, but that is besides the point,

Mars is a smaller planet then Earth, thus it has less gravity, meaning when water evaporates into the atmosphere of the planet the water slowly escapes into space, so there is less and less water on the planet.

Hope this helps!

The role of civil and structural engineer is to produce buildings for

Alinara [238K]

So I’m thinking C because they both have a lot to do with design here is my evidence. Structural engineering is a component of civil engineering which focuses on the design and development of infrastructures such as bridges, skyscrapers, dams. Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment. I may be wrong but hope this helped!
