A 1200 kg car carrying four 80 kg people travels over a rough "washboard" dirt road with corrugations 4.0 m apart which causes t

he car to bounce on its spring suspension. The car bounces with maximum amplitude when its speed is 15 km/h. The car now stops, and the four people get out. By how much does the car body rise on its suspension owing to this decrease in weight?

Answer:

ΔX = 0.0483 m

Explanation:

Let's analyze the problem, the car oscillates in the direction y and advances with constant speed in the direction x

The car can be described with a spring mass system that is represented by the expression

     y = A cos (wt + φ)

The speed can be found by derivatives

     v_{y} = dy / dt

    v_{y}  = - A w sin (wt + φ

So that the amplitude is maximum without (wt + fi) = + -1

      v_{y}  = A w

X axis

Let's reduce to the SI system

     vₓ = 15 km / h (1000 m / 1 km) (1h / 3600s) = 4.17 m / s

As the car speed is constant

     vₓ = d / t

      t = d / v ₓ

      t = 4 / 4.17

      t = 0.96 s

This is the time between running two maximums, which is equivalent to a full period

     w = 2π f = 2π / T

     w = 2π / 0.96

     w = 6.545 rad / s

We have the angular velocity we can find the spring constant

     w² = k / m

    m = 1200 + 4 80

    m = 1520 m

     k = w² m

     k = 6.545² 1520

     k = 65112 N / m

Let's use Newton's second law

    F - W = 0

    F = W

    k x = W

    x = mg / k

Case 1  when loaded with people

   x₁ = 1520 9.8 / 65112

   x₁ = 0.22878 m

Case 2 when empty

   x₂ = 1200 9.8 / 65112

   x₂ = 0.18061 m

The height variation is

    ΔX = x₁ -x₂  

    ΔX = 0.22878 - 0.18061

    ΔX = 0.0483 m

Bohr’s atomic model differed from Rutherford's because it explained that electrons exist in specified energy levels surrounding
insens350 [35]

Answer:

electrons exist in specified energy levels

Explanation:

In its gold-foil scattering with alpha particles, Rutherford proved that the plum-pudding model of the atom theorised by Thomson was wrong.

From his experiment, Rutherford inferred that the atom actually consists of a very small nucleus, where all the positive charge is concentrated, and the rest of the atom is basically empty, with the electrons (negatively charged) orbiting around the nucleus at very large distance.

However, Rutherford did not specify anything about the orbits of the electrons. Later, Bohr predicted that the electrons actually orbit the nucleus in specific orbits, each orbit corresponding to a specific energy level. Bohr's model found confirmation in the observation of the emission spectrum lines: when an electron in one of the higher energy level jumps down into an orbit with lower energy, the atom emits a photon which has an energy exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two orbits (and this energy of the photon corresponds to a precise wavelength).
