An open train car, with a mass of 2130 kg, coasts along a horizontal track at the speed 2.93 m/s. The car passes under a loading

chute and, as it does so, gravel falls vertically into it for 3.03 s at the rate of 465 kg/s. What is the car's speed v f after the loading is completed

Answer:

The final speed after the loading is completed is 1.764 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of open train car, m₁ = 2130 kg

initial speed of the car, u₁ = 2.93 m/s

loading rate of gravel = 465 kg/s

time of loading = 3.03 s

mass of the gravel, m₂ = 465 kg/s x 3.03 s = 1408.95 kg

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁+m₂)

where;

v is the final speed after the loading is completed

2130 x 2.93 + 0 = v (2130 + 1408.95)

6240.9 = v (3538.95)

v = 6240.9/3538.95

v = 1.764 m/s

Therefore, the final speed after the loading is completed is 1.764 m/s

The suspension system of a 2100 kg automobile "sags" 8.5 cm when the chassis is placed on it. Also, the oscillation amplitude de

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Part a)

$k = 6.06 \times 10^4 N/m$

Part b)

$b = 1795.4 kg/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

as the mass of the suspension system is given as

$m = 2100 kg$

also we have

$x = 8.5 cm$

so now for force balance we have

$mg = kx$

$(525)(9.81) = k(0.085)$

$k = 6.06 \times 10^4 N/m$

Part b)

Now we know that amplitude decreases by 63% in each cycle

so after one cycle the amplitude will become 37% of initial amplitude

so it is given as

$A = 0.37 A_o$

also we know

$A = A_o e^{-bt/2m}$

$0.37 A_o = A_o e^{-bt/2m}$

$\frac{bt}{2m} = 1$

$b = \frac{2m}{t}$

here t = time period of one oscillation

so it is

$t = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

$t = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{525}{6.06 \times 10^4}}$

$t = 0.58 s$

now damping constant is

$b = \frac{2(525)}{0.58}$

$b = 1795.4 kg/s$

As an admirer of Thomas Young, you perform a double-slit experiment in his honor. You set your slits 1.01 mm apart and position

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

$0.00195\ \text{m}$

$0.00293\ \text{m}$

Explanation:

m = Order = 1

D = Distance between screen and slit = 3.09 m

d = Slit distance = 1.01 mm

$\lambda$ = Wavelength = 639 nm

Distance from the first bright fringe from the central bright fringe is given by

$y=\dfrac{m\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{1\times 639\times 10^{-9}\times 3.09}{1.01\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow y=0.00195\ \text{m}$

Distance from the first bright fringe from the central bright fringe is $0.00195\ \text{m}$

Distance from the second dark fringe from the central bright fringe is given by

$y=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow y=(1+\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{639\times 10^{-9}\times 3.09}{1.01\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow y=0.00293\ \text{m}$

Distance from the second dark fringe from the central bright fringe is $0.00293\ \text{m}$ .

The amount of power has decreased. This is most likely the result of less work being done over a longer period of time.
