A car is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green, the car starts from rest with an acceleration of 2.5 m/s2 . Als

o, as the light turns green, a truck traveling with a constant velocity of 10 m/s passes the car. The truck’s horn is stuck, emitting sound at a frequency of 440Hz. What frequency of sound is heard by the driver of the car, (a) 5 seconds before the light turned green? (b) 5 seconds after the light turned green? (c) 10 seconds after the light turned green?

Answer:

a) f = 453.3Hz

b) f = 443.1Hz

c) f = 420Hz

Explanation:

First of all we need to know the positions and velocities of both vehicles.

For the car:

Xc(-5) = 0m;   Vc(-5) = 0m/s

Xc(5) = 2.5*5^2/2=31.25m;  Vc(5)=2.5*5 = 12.5m/s

Xc(10)=2.5*10^2/2=125m;    Vc(10)=2.5*10=25m/s

For the truck:

Xt(-5)=10*(-5) = -50m;   Vt(5)=10m/s

Xt(5)=10*5 = 50m;       Vt(5)=10m/s

Xt(10)=10*10=100m;     Vt(10)=10m/s

Now for part a) t=-5s. The truck is behind the car, so:

f=\frac{C}{C-Vt}*fo = 453.3Hz

Now for part b) t=5s. The car is behind the truck, so:

f=\frac{C+Vc}{C+Vt}*fo = 443.1Hz

Now for part b) t=10s. The truck is behind the car, so:

f=\frac{C-Vc}{C-Vt}*fo = 420Hz

A 5.67-kg block of wood is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 150 N/m. The block is free to slide on a horizontal fr
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

v=0.94 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

M= 5.67 kg

k= 150 N/m

m=1 kg

μ = 0.45

The maximum acceleration of upper block can be μ g.

 a= μ g                          ( g = 10 m/s²)

The maximum acceleration of system will ω²X.

ω = natural frequency

X=maximum displacement

For top stop slipping

μ g  =ω²X

We know for spring mass system natural frequency given as

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{M+m}}

By putting the values

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{150}{5.67+1}}

ω = 4.47 rad/s

μ g  =ω²X

By putting the values

0.45 x 10 = 4.47² X

X = 0.2 m

From energy conservation

\dfrac{1}{2}kX^2=\dfrac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2

kX^2=(m+M)v^2

150 x 0.2²=6.67 v²

v=0.94 m/s

This is the maximum speed of system.

A basketball player can leap upward 0.43 m. how long does he remain in the air? use an acceleration due to gravity of 9.80 m/s2
MArishka [77]
From the equations of linear motion,
v² = u² + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the gravitational acceleration, and s is the displacement,
Thus, v² = u² -2gs, but v=0
hence, u² = 2gs
                = 2×9.81×0.43
                = 8.4366
            u = √8.4366
               =2.905 m/s
Hence the initial velocity is 2.905 m/s
 Then using the equation v= u +gt .
Therefore, v = u -gt. (-g because the player is jumping against the gravity)
but, v = 0
Thus, u= gt
Hence, t = u/g
              = 2.905/9.81
              = 0.296 seconds
