Angular velocity of the rotating tires can be calculated using the formula,
v=ω×r
Here, v is the velocity of the tires = 32 m/s
r is the radius of the tires= 0.42 m
ω is the angular velocity
Substituting the values we get,
32=ω×0.42
ω= 32/0.42 = 76.19 rad/s
= 76.19× revolution per min
=728 rpm
Angular velocity of the rotating tires is 76.19 rad/s or 728 rpm.
Answer:
a) v = 2.4125 m / s , b) Em_{f} / Em₀ = 0.89
Explanation:
a) This is an inelastic crash problem, the system is made up of the four carriages, so the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is conserved
Initial
p₀ = m v₁ + 3 m v₂
Final
= (4 m) v
p₀ =p_{f}
m (v₁ + 3 v₂) = 4 m v
v = (v₁ +3 v₂) / 4
Let's calculate
v = (3.86 + 3 1.93) / 4
v = 2.4125 m / s
b) the initial mechanical energy is
Em₀ = K₁ + 3 K₂
Em₀ = ½ m v₁² + ½ 3m v₂²
The final mechanical energy
= K
Em_{f} = ½ 4 m v²
The fraction of energy lost is
Em_{f} / Em₀ = ½ 4m v² / ½ m (v₁² +3 v₂²)
Em_{f} / Em₀ = 4 v₂ / (v₁² + 3 v₂²)
Em_{f} / Em₀ = 4 2.4125² / (3.86² + 3 1.93²)
Em_{f} / em₀ = 23.28 / 26.07
Em_{f} / Em₀ = 0.89
