Suppose a child drives a bumper car head on into the side rail, which exerts a force of 3400 N on the car for 0.400 s.(a) What i

mpulse (in kg · m/s) is imparted by this force?(b) Find the final velocity (in m/s) of the bumper car if its initial velocity was 3.20 m/s and the car plus driver have a mass of 200 kg. You may neglect friction between the car and floor.

Answer:

a) 1360kgm/s b) 5.14m/s

Explanation:

a) According to Newton's second law of motion,

Force = mass × acceleration

F = ma

since acceleration = change in velocity (v-u)/time(t)

F = m(v-u)/t

Ft = m(v-u) = Impulse.

Impulse is defined as change in momentum of a body. It can be expressed as;

Impulse = Ft = m(v-u)

Given force exerted on the car = 3400N

time taken = 0.400seconds

Impulse = 3400×0.4

Impulse = 1360kgm/s

b) To find the final velocity/(v) of the car, we will use the equation of motion below;

v = u+at where;

v is the final velocity = ?

u is the initial velocity = 3.2m/s

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken = 0.4second

To get the acceleration, we will use the formula F = ma where;

m is the mass

F is the force

a is the acceleration

a = F/m = 3400/200

a = 17m/s²

Substituting the values to get the final velocity 'v' we have;

v² = 3.2²+17(0.4)

v² = 10.24+6.8

v² = 17.04

v =√17.04

v = 4.13m/s

The final velocity of the bumper car is 4.14m/s

Answer:

(a) 1360 Ns

(b) 10 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

Impulse: This can be defined as the product of force and time. The S.I unit of impulse is Ns

From Newton's third law,

The expression for impulse is given as,

I = F×t............................ Equation 1

Where I = Impulse, F = Force, t = Time.

Given: F = 3400 N, t = 0.4 s

Substitute into equation 1

I = 3400×0.4

I = 1360 Ns

(b)

From newton third law of motion,

Impulse = Change in momentum.

I = m(v-u)................. Equation 2

Where I = impulse, m = mass of the car plus the driver, v = final velocity of the bumper car, u = initial velocity of the car.

make v the subject of the equation

v = (I/m)+u................ Equation 3

Given: I = 1360 Ns, m = 200 kg, u = 3.2 m/s

Substitute into equation 3

v = (1360/200)+3.2

v = 6.8+3.2

v = 10 m/s

The site from which an airplane takes off is the origin. The X axis points east, the y axis points straight up. The position and

Contact [7]

Answer:

d = 3.5*10^4 m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the displacement of the airplane you need only the information about the initial position and final position of the airplane. THe initial position is at the origin (0,0,0) and the final position is given by the following vector:

$\vec{r}=(1.21*10^3\hat{i}+3.45*10^4\hat{j})m$

The displacement of the airplane is obtained by using the general form of the Pythagoras theorem:

$d=\sqrt{(x-x_o)^2+(y-y_o)^2}$ (1)

where x any are the coordinates of the final position of the airplane and xo and yo the coordinates of the initial position. You replace the values of all variables in the equation (1):

$d=\sqrt{(1.12*10^3-0)^2+(3.45*10^4-0)^2}=3.45*10^4m$

hence, the displacement of the airplane is 3.45*10^4 m

A girl exerts a horizontal force of 109 N on a crate with a mass of 31.2 kg. HINT (a) If the crate doesn't move, what's the magn

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

(a) Magnitude of static friction force is 109 N

(b) Minimum possible value of static friction is 0.356

Solution:

As per the question;

Horizontal force exerted by the girl, F = 109 N

Mass of the crate, m = 31.2 kg

Now,

(a) To calculate the magnitude of static friction force:

Since, the crate is at rest, the forces on the crate are balanced and thus the horizontal force is equal to the frictional force, f:

F = f = 109 N

(b) The maximum possible force of friction between the floor and the crate is given by:

$f_{m} = \mu_{s}N$

where

N = Normal reaction = mg

Thus

$f_{m} = \mu_{s}mg$

For the crate to remain at rest, The force exerted on the crate must be less than or equal to the maximum force of friction.

$f\leq f_{m}$

$f \leq \mu_{s}mg$

$109 \leq \mu_{s}\times 31.2\times 9.8$

$\mu_{s}\geq 0.356$

Write an expression for a harmonic wave with an amplitude of 0.19 m, a wavelength of 2.6 m, and a period of 1.2 s. The wave is t

zlopas [31]

Answer:

$y = 0.19 sin(5.23 t - 2.42x + \frac{\pi}{2})$

Explanation:

As we know that the wave equation is given as

$y = A sin(\omega t - k x + \phi_0)$

now we have

$A = 0.19 m$

$\lambda = 2.6 m$

so we have

$k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$k = \frac{2\pi}{2.6}$

$k = 2.42 per m$

also we have

$T = 1.2 s$

so we have

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

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{1.2}$

$\omega = 5.23 rad/s$

now we know that at t = 0 and x = 0 wave is at y = 0.19 m

so we have

$\phi_0 = \frac{\pi}{2}$

so we have

$y = 0.19 sin(5.23 t - 2.42x + \frac{\pi}{2})$
