5 0

Answer:

It isn't safe for the truck to cross the bridge because the pressure exerted by the truck on the bridge is greater than the maximum tolerable pressure for the bridge, 562.5 Pa > 450 Pa.

Explanation:

Pressure is expressed in Force/Area.

So, for the truck, force exerted = 54000 N

Area covered = 30 × 3.2 = 96 m²

Pressure exerted by the truck = 54000/96 = 562.5 Pa

The pressure exerted by the truck on the bridge is greater than the maximum tolerable pressure for the bridge, 562.5 > 450, hence, it isn't safe for the truck to cross the bridge.

A car drives over a hilltop that has a radius of curvature 0.120 km at the top of the hill. At what speed would the car be trave
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

34.3 m/s

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law states that the resultant of the forces acting on the car is equal to the product between the mass of the car, m, and the centripetal acceleration a_c (because the car is moving of circular motion). So at the top of the hill the equation of the forces is:

mg-R = m a_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

(mg) is the weight of the car (downward), with m being the car's mass and g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

R is the normal reaction exerted by the road on the car (upward, so with negative sign)

v is the speed of the car

r = 0.120 km = 120 m is the radius of the curve

The problem is asking for the speed that the car would have when it tires just barely lose contact with the road: this means requiring that the normal reaction is zero, R=0. Substituting into the equation and solving for v, we find:

v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(120 m)}=34.3 m/s

A rocket in deep space has an exhaust-gas speed of 2000 m/s. When the rocket is fully loaded, the mass of the fuel is five times
notka56 [123]

Answer:

 v_{f} = 1,386 m / s

Explanation:

Rocket propulsion is a moment process that described by the expression

       v_{f} - v₀ =  v_{r} ln (M₀ / Mf)

Where v are the velocities, final, initial and relative and M the masses

The data they give are the relative velocity (see = 2000 m / s) and the initial mass the mass of the loaded rocket (M₀ = 5Mf)

We consider that the rocket starts from rest (v₀ = 0)

At the time of burning half of the fuel the mass ratio is that the current mass is    

       M = 2.5 Mf

       v_{f} - 0 = 2000 ln (5Mf / 2.5 Mf) = 2000 ln 2

       v_{f} = 1,386 m / s
