Proper design of automobile braking systems must account for heat buildup under heavy braking. Part A Calculate the thermal ener

gy dissipated from brakes in a 1600 kg car that descends a 15 ∘ hill. The car begins braking when its speed is 95 km/h and slows to a speed of 40 km/h in a distance of 0.34 km measured along the road.

Answer:

1838216 J

Explanation:

95 km/h = 26.39 m/s

40 km/h = 11.11 m/s

Initial kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x(26.39)²

= 557145.67 J

Final kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x ( 11.11)²

= 98745.68 J

Loss of kinetic energy

= 458400 J

Loss of potential energy

= mg x loss of height

= 1600 x 9.8 x 340 sin 15

= 1379816 J

Sum of Loss of potential energy and Loss of kinetic energy

=  1379816 + 458400

= 1838216 J

This is the work done by the friction . So this is heat generated.

The function x = (1.2 m) cos[(3πrad/s)t + π/5 rad] gives the simple harmonic motion of a body. At t = 9.7 s, what are the (a) di
nlexa [21]

Answer and Explanation:

Let:

x(t)=Acos(\omega t+ \phi)

The equation representing a simple harmonic motion, where:

x=Displacement\hspace{3}from\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}equilibrium\hspace{3}point\\A=Amplitude \hspace{3}of\hspace{3} motion\\\omega= Angular \hspace{3}frequency\\\phi=Initial\hspace{3} phase\\t=time

As you may know the derivative of the position is the velocity and the derivative of the velocity is the acceleration. So we can get the velocity and the acceleration by deriving the position:

v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt} =- \omega A sin(\omega t + \phi)\\\\a(t)=\frac{dv(t)}{dt} =- \omega^2 A cos(\omega t + \phi)

Also, you may know these fundamental formulas:

f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi} \\\\T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}

Now, using the previous information and the data provided by the problem, let's solve the questions:

(a)

x(9.7)=1.2 cos((3 \pi *(9.7))+\frac{\pi}{5} ) \approx -0.70534m

(b)

v(9.7)=-(3\pi) (1.2) sin((3\pi *(9.7))+\frac{\pi}{5} ) \approx 9.1498 m/s

(c)

a(9.7)=-(3 \pi)^2(1.2)cos((3\pi*(9.7))+\frac{\pi}{5} )\approx -62.653m/s^2

(d)

We can extract the phase of the motion, the angular frequency and the amplitude from the equation provided by the problem:

\phi = \frac{\pi}{5}

(e)

f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi} =\frac{3\pi}{2 \pi} =\frac{3}{2} =1.5 Hz

(f)

T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega} =\frac{2 \pi}{3 \pi} =\frac{2}{3} \approx 0.667s

leva [86]

Answer:

t = 2.52 billion \:years

Explanation:

As we know by radioactivity law

N = N_o e^{-\lambda t}

so here we will have

N = 3 mg

N_o = 12 mg

now we will have

3 = 12 e^{-\lambda t}

\lambda t = ln 4

now we also know that

\lambda = \frac{ln2}{1.26 \times 10^6 yrs}

t = 1.26\times 10^6\times \frac{ln4}{ln2}

t = 2.52 billion \:years
