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

Consider two thin, coaxial, coplanar, uniformly charged rings with radii a and b푏 (a

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

electric potential, V = -q(a²- b²)/8π∈₀r³

Explanation:

Question (in proper order)

Consider two thin coaxial, coplanar, uniformly charged rings with radii a and b (b < a) and charges q and -q, respectively. Determine the potential at large distances from the rings

<em>consider the attached diagram below</em>

the electric potential at point p, distance r from the center of the outer charged ring with radius a is as given below

Va = q/4π∈₀ [1/(a² + b²)¹/²]

$Va = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * \frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }$

Also

the electric potential at point p, distance r from the center of the inner charged ring with radius b is

$Vb = \frac{-q}{4\pi e0} * \frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }$

Sum of the potential at point p is

V = Va + Vb

that is

$V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * \frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} } + \frac{-q}{4\pi e0 } * \frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }$

$V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * \frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} } - \frac{q}{4\pi e0 } * \frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }$

$V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * [\frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} } - \frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }]$

the expression below can be written as the equivalent

$\frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} } = \frac{1}{(r^{2} + a^{2} )^{1/2} } = \frac{1}{{r(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} }$

likewise,

$\frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} } = \frac{1}{(r^{2} + b^{2} )^{1/2} } = \frac{1}{{r(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} }$

hence,

$V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * [\frac{1}{{r(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} } - \frac{1}{{r(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} }]$

1/r is common to both equation

hence, we have it out and joined to the 4π∈₀ denominator that is outside

$V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [\frac{1}{{(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} } - \frac{1}{{(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} }]$

by reciprocal rule

1/a² = a⁻²

$V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [{(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{-1/2} - {(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{-1/2}]$

by binomial expansion of fractional powers

where $(1+a)^{n} =1+na+\frac{n(n-1)a^{2} }{2!}+ \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)a^{3}}{3!}+...$

if we expand the expression we have the equivalent as shown

${(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{-1/2} = (1-\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} } )$

also,

${(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{-1/2} = (1-\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} } )$

the above equation becomes

$V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [((1-\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} } ) - (1-\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} } )]$

$V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [1-\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} } - 1+\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} }]$

$V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [-\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} } +\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} }]\\\\V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} } -\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} }]$

$V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * \frac{1}{2r^{2} } *(b^{2} -a^{2} )$

$V = \frac{q}{8\pi e0 r^{3} } * (b^{2} -a^{2} )$

Answer

$V = \frac{q (b^{2} -a^{2} )}{8\pi e0 r^{3} }$

OR

$V = \frac{-q (a^{2} -b^{2} )}{8\pi e0 r^{3} }$

Derive the equation of motion of the block of mass m1 in terms of its displacement x. The friction between the block and the sur

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

the equivalent mass : $m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}$

the equation of the motion of the block of mass $m_1$ in terms of its displacement is = $(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)$

Explanation:

Let use m₁ to represent the mass of the block and m₂ to represent the mass of the cylinder

The radius of the cylinder be = R

The distance between the center of the pulley to center of the block to be = x

Also, the angles of inclinations of the cylinder and the block with respect to the ground to be $\phi$ and $\beta$ respectively.

The velocity of the block to be = v

The equivalent mass of the system = $m_e$

In the terms of the equivalent mass, the kinetic energy of the system can be written as:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} m_ev^2$ --------------- equation (1)

The angular velocity of the cylinder = $\omega$ : &

The inertia of the cylinder about its center to be = I

The angular velocity of the cylinder can be written as:

$v = \omega R$

$\omega =\frac{v}{R}$

The kinetic energy of the system in terms of individual mass can be written as:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

By replacing $\omega$ with $\frac{v}{R}$ ; we have:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2+\frac{1}{2}I(\frac{v}{R})^2$

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+ m_2+ \frac{I}{R} )v^2$ ------------------ equation (2)

Equating both equation (1) and (2); we have:

$m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}$

Therefore, the equivalent mass : $m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}$ which is read as;

The equivalent mass is equal to the mass of the block plus the mass of the cylinder plus the inertia by the square of the radius.

The expression for the force acting on equivalent mass due to the block is as follows:

$f_{block }=m_1gsin \beta$

Also; The expression for the force acting on equivalent mass due to the cylinder is as follows:

$f_{cylinder} = m_2gsin \phi$

Equating the above both equations; we have the equation of motion of the equivalent system to be

$m_e \bar x = f_{cylinder}-f_{block}$

which can be written as follows from the previous derivations

$(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)$

Finally; the equation of the motion of the block of mass $m_1$ in terms of its displacement is = $(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)$

Please help, it's grade 7 science. :)

xeze [42]

Answer:

The air in the soccer ball in cold weather will decrease slightly in size and it becomes flat. The air in the soccer ball in hot weather will seem flat because the low preasure leads to lower bounce in the ball.

The metal door frame in cold weather contracts and the wood contracts more in the winter. The metal door frame in hot weather thermal blowing can occur on the outer surface of the metal door frame. Hopefully that is what you were looking for have a good day.
