The tongue weight of a trailer should be what percent of the gross trailer weight rating

Physics
1 answer:
mario62 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

between 10 and 15 percent

Explanation:

How to put your load

- First load the heavy

The safe trailer starts loading correctly. Uneven weight can affect steering, brakes and swing control.

In general, 60% of the weight of the load should be in the front half of the trailer and 40% in the rear half (unless the manufacturer indicates something different). When you place the load, you want it to be balanced from side to side, keeping the center of gravity near the ground and on the axle of the trailer.

-  Hold your load

After balancing the load, you must hold it in place. An untapped load can move when the vehicle is moving and cause trailer instability.

- Trailer weight

To avoid overloading the trailer, look for the recommended weight rating. It is located on the VIN plate in the trailer chassis, usually on the tongue. Confirm the Gross Vehicle Weight Classification (GVWR) before towing.

GVWR: is the total weight that the trailer can support, including its weight. You can also find this number as the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW). The weight of the tongue should be 10-15% of the GTW.

The big bang theory has finally answered one of the biggest questions of science—the origin of the universe.
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

According to the big bang theory, matter was an infinitely small and very high density point which at one point exploded and expanded in all directions, creating what we know as our Universe, which also includes space and time . This happened about 13.8 billion years ago. Theoretical physicists have managed to reconstruct this chronology of events from 1/100 of a second after the Big Bang. After the explosion, while the Universe expanded, it cooled sufficiently and the first subatomic particles were formed: Electrons, Positrons, Mesons, Barions, Neutrinos, Photons among others. Today more than 90 particles are known. This theory solves many unknowns and is very well received by the scientific community, however there is still much to solve, for example, one of the great unsolved scientific problems in the expanding Universe model is whether the Universe is open or closed.

An attempt to solve this problem is to determine if the average density of matter in the Universe is greater than the critical value in Friedmann's model. The mass of a galaxy can be measured by observing the movement of its stars; multiplying the mass of each galaxy by the number of galaxies, it is seen that the density is only 5 to 10% of the critical value.

You stand on a frictional platform that is rotating at 1.8 rev/s. Your arms are outstretched, and you hold a heavy weight in eac
dusya [7]

Answer:

20.62361 rad/s

489.81804 J

Explanation:

I_i = Initial moment of inertia = 9.3 kgm²

I_f = Final moment of inertia = 5.1 kgm²

\omega_i = Initial angular speed = 1.8 rev/s

\omega_f = Final angular speed

As the angular momentum of the system is conserved

I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{I_i\omega_i}{I_f}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{9.3\times 1.8}{5.1}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=3.28235\ rev/s=3.28235\times 2\pi=20.62361\ rad/s

The resulting angular speed of the platform is 20.62361 rad/s

Change in kinetic energy is given by

\Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(I_f\omega_f^2-I_i\omega_i^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(5.1\times (20.62361)^2-9.3\times (1.8\times 2\pi)^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=489.81804\ J

The change in kinetic energy of the system is 489.81804 J

As the work was done to move the weight in there was an increase in kinetic energy

What is the relationship between the spring constant and the period in a mass hanging on a spring oscillation and why?
anygoal [31]

Explanation:

Period of a mass on a spring is:

T = 2π√(m/k)

T is inversely proportional with the square root of k.  So as the spring constant increases, the period decreases.
