A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle

ra1l [238]

Answer:

a) t = 4.16 s

b) x = 141.51 m

Explanation:

Given

v = 21.5 m/s

x0 = 52.0 m

a = 6.0 m/s²

a) Motorcycle

x = v0*t + (a*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + (6*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + 3t² (I)

Car

x = x0 + v0*t

x = 52 + 21.5t (II)

then we can apply I = II

21.5t + 3t² = 52 + 21.5t

⇒ 3t² = 52

⇒ t = 4.16 s

b) We can use I or II, then

x = 52 + 21.5*(4.16)

⇒ x = 141.51 m

Explain why free fall acceleration near earths surface is constant

Naya [18.7K]

Because gravity is constant
the only force acting in free-fall is gravity which points downward at 9.8 m/s

A mass weighting 16 lbs stretches a spring 3 inches. The mass is in a medium that exerts a viscous resistance of 20 lbs when the

const2013 [10]

Answer:

The equation for the object's displacement is $u(t)=0.583cos11.35t$

Explanation:

Given:

m = 16 lb

δ = 3 in

The stiffness is:

$k=\frac{m}{\delta } =\frac{16}{3} =5.33lb/in$

The angular speed is:

$w=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } =\sqrt{\frac{5.33*386.4}{16} } =11.35rad/s$

The damping force is:

$F_{D} =cu$

Where

FD = 20 lb

u = 4 ft/s = 48 in/s

Replacing:

$c=\frac{F_{D} }{u} =\frac{20}{48} =0.42lbs/in$

The critical damping is equal:

$c_{c} =\frac{2k}{w} =\frac{2*5.33}{11.35} =0.94lbs/in$

Like cc>c the system is undamped

The equilibrium expression is:

$u(t)=u(o)coswt+u'(o)sinwt\\u(o)=7=0.583\\u'(o)=0\\u(t)=0.583coswt\\u(t)=0.583cos11.35t$

An electron moves at a speed of 1.0 x 104 m/s in a circular path of radius 2 cm inside a solenoid. The magnetic field of the sol

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

(a) B = 2.85 × $10^{-6}$ Tesla

(b) I = I = 0.285 A

Explanation:

a. The strength of magnetic field, B, in a solenoid is determined by;

r = $\frac{mv}{qB}$

⇒ B = $\frac{mv}{qr}$

Where: r is the radius, m is the mass of the electron, v is its velocity, q is the charge on the electron and B is the magnetic field

B = $\frac{9.11*10^{-31*1.0*10^{4} } }{1.6*10^{-19}*0.02 }$

= $\frac{9.11*10^{-27} }{3.2*10^{-21} }$

B = 2.85 × $10^{-6}$ Tesla

b. Given that; N/L = 25 turns per centimetre, then the current, I, can be determined by;

B = μ I N/L

⇒ I = B ÷ μN/L

where B is the magnetic field, μ is the permeability of free space = 4.0 × $10^{-7}$ Tm/A, N/L is the number of turns per length.

I = B ÷ μN/L

= $\frac{2.85*10^{-6} }{4*10^{-7} *25}$

I = 0.285 A
