A compact car has a mass of 1380 kg . Assume that the car has one spring on each wheel, that the springs are identical, and that

the mass is equally distributed over the four springs.
Part A
What is the spring constant of each spring if the empty car bounces up and down 1.6 times each second?
Express your answer using two significant figures.in N/m.

Part B
What will be the car's oscillation frequency while carrying four 70 kg passengers?
Express in two sig figs in Hz.

Answer:

A) k=34867.3384\ N.m^{-1}

B) \omega'\approx84\ Hz

Explanation:

Given:

mass of car, m=1380\ kg

A)

frequency of spring oscillation, f=1.6\ Hz

We knkow the formula for spring oscillation frequency:

\omega=2\pi.f

\Rightarrow \sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{m} } =2\pi.f

\sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{1380} } =2\times \pi\times 1.6

k_{eq}=139469.3537\ N.m^{-1}

Now as we know that the springs are in parallel and their stiffness constant gets added up in parallel.

<u>So, the stiffness of each spring is (as they are identical):</u>

k=\frac{k_{eq}}{4}

k=\frac{139469.3537}{4}

k=34867.3384\ N.m^{-1}

B)

given that 4 passengers of mass 70 kg each are in the car, then the oscillation frequency:

\omega'=\sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{(m+70\times 4)} }

\omega'=\sqrt{\frac{139469.3537}{(1380+280)} }

\omega'\approx84\ Hz

When you are on a huge water slide what forces are there? when will you experience a net force?
Pani-rosa [81]
When you are on a huge water slide, the force present as you slide is the gravitational force. It is because the gravity enables you to slide down the water slide. The net force is the overall forces of the object, so as you slide the water slide, you may experience the net force once you slide down with the gravity and water sliding you down.

15. A locomotive moved 18.0 m [W] in a time of 6.00 s and stopped. After stopping, the
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Distance = 30m

Displacement = 6m W

Explanation:

Given the following:

Movement 1 = 18m W

Movement 2 = 12m E

Diatance is a scalar quantity with only magnitude and no direction. That is, in Calculating the distance moved by the locomotive, the direction of travel or movement of the object is not considered. It only measures the total amount of movement made during the Time of motion.

Therefore, total distance traveled equals :

Movement 1 + movement 2

18m + 12m = 30m

B) Displacement also measures the movement made by an object. However, Displacement is a vector quantity and therefore, considers both magnitude and direction of travel of the object. Therefore, it measures the overall change in position of the object from its starting position.

Therefore, Displacement of the locomotive equals:

18m W - 12m E = 6m E

Choose the answer choice that BEST completes the following sentence. About four million tons of __________________ are converted
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

<em>About four million tons of </em><em><u>matter</u></em><em> are converted to energy in the Sun’s core every second</em>

Explanation:

<u>The Sun </u>

It's estimated that The Sun fuses near 600 million tons (6.10^9\ kg) of hydrogen into helium every second. As a result, 4 million tons of matter are converted to energy every second according to Einstein's equation E=mc^2

SashulF [63]

Answer:

b. "One thing for sure is that they were UFOs and they had to be piloted by some type of intelligent life."

Explanation:

Well...generally the above observation may seem wrong but it isn't. That's because according to scientific point of view, if he saw a real UFO flying out in the air then it is logically possible that some being of an advance civilization must be piloting that craft. If the observation is correct then it can't just be a coincidence at all.
