Answer:

The answers to the question are

(a) T = 2·π·r/v

(b) 3.3 % change in period of the under-inflated tire compared to the properly inflated tire

(c) Therefore the distance this car would have to travel in order for under-inflated tire to make one more complete rotation than the inflated tire is 57.685 meters.

Explanation:

(a) The period T = 2π/ω

The velocity v = ωr or ω = v/r

Therefore T = 2π/(v/r) = 2πr/v

T = 2·π·r/v

(b) Period of properly inflated tire with radius = 303 mm is 2π303/v

Period of under-inflated tire with radius = 293 mm is 2π293/v

Therefore we have percentage change in period of of the under-inflated tire compared to the properly inflated tire is given by

(2π303/v -2π293/v)/(2π303/v) = 2π10/v/(2π303/v) = 10/303 × 100 = 3.3 %

(c) The period of the under-inflated tire is 10/303 less than that of the inflated tire. Therefore for the under-inflated tire to make one complete turn more than the inflated tire, we have 1/(10/303) = 303/10 or 30.3 revolutions of either tire which is 30.3×2×π×303 = 57685.296 mm = 57.685 meters

Therefore the distance this car would have to travel in order for under-inflated tire to make one more complete rotation than the inflated tire is 57.685 meters

At 30.3 revolutions the distance covered by the under-inflated

= 55781.49 mm

Subtracting the two distances gives

1903.805 mm

The circumference of the inflated tire = 2×π×303 = 1903.805 mm

Column arrays: Transpose a row array Construct a row array countValues with elements 1 to endValue, using the double colon opera

White raven [17]

Answer:

Matlab code with step by step explanation and output results are given below

Explanation:

We have to construct a Matlab function that creates a row vector "countValues" with elements 1 to endValue. That means it starts from 1 and ends at the value provided by the user (endValue).

function countValues = CreateArray(endValue)

% Here we construct a row vector countValues from 1:endValue

countValues = 1:endValue;

% then we transpose this row vector into column vector

countValues = countValues';

end

Output:

Calling this function with the endValue=11 returns following output

CreateArray(11)

ans =

Hence the function works correctly. It creates a row vector then transposes it and makes it a column vector.
