The distance between the centers of the wheels of a motorcycle is 156 cm. The center of mass of the motorcycle, including the ri

der, is 77.5 cm above the ground and halfway between the wheels. Assume the mass of each wheel is small compared to the body of the motorcycle. The engine drives the rear wheel only. What horizontal acceleration of the motorcycle will make the front wheel rise off the ground?

Answer:

a = 9.86 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

distance between the centers of wheel = 156 cm

center of mass of motorcycle including rider = 77.5 cm

horizontal acceleration of motor cycle = ?

now,

The moment created by the wheels must equal the moment created by gravity.

take moment about wheel as it touches the ground, here we will take horizontal distance between them.

then, take the moment around the center of mass. Since the force on the ground from the wheels is horizontal, we need the vertical distance.

now equating both the moment

m g d = F h

d is the horizontal distance

h is the vertical distance

m g d = m a h

term of mass get eliminated

g d = a h

so,

$a = \dfrac{g\ d}{h}$

$a = \dfrac{9.8\times 0.78}{0.775}$

a = 9.86 m/s²

how could you prove to a skeptic that the beats are an interference effect that requires both sound sources? test out your metho

podryga [215]

Beats are interference patterns between two tones of different frequencies. To prove the skeptic first, play the recorded audio as there are no beats in it. Now take two sound sources with different frequencies. When both sources are turned on, we hear notes that rise and fall at equal intervals. That's what's called beats.

A frequency beat occurs when two waves with different frequencies overlap, causing alternating cycles of constructive and destructive interference between the waves.

When we tap the table with our finger, then put our ear to the table, and tap the table surface as far as 30 cm from our ear. Then the sound of beats on the table will sound louder when we put our ears on the table. So, it can be concluded that solid objects can conduct sound better than air. This is because the molecules or particles of solid objects are denser than air.

The gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/s2 here on Earth at sea level. What is the gravitational acceleration at a height of 35

azamat

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the definition of severity of Newtonian laws in which it is specified that gravity is defined by

$g= \frac{GM}{R^2}$

Where

G= Gravitational Constant

M = Mass of Earth

R= Radius from center of the planet

According to the information we need to find the gravity 350km more than the radius of Earth, then

$g_{ss} = \frac{GM}{R+h^2}$

$g_{ss} = \frac{6.67*10^{-11}*5.972*10^{24}}{(6371*10^3+350*10^3)^2}$

$g_{ss} = 8.82m/s^2$

Therefore the gravitational acceleration at 350km is $8.82m/s^2$

A striped billiard ball moves toward the right with speed 3 m/s. A solid billiard ball with the same mass moves toward the left

Helen [10]

Answer:

Final speed of striped ball is 3 m/s in left direction .

Explanation:

Given :

Two billiard ball with the same mass moves toward the left at the same speed 3 m/s .

Let , us assume right hand side direction to be positive and left hand side direction to be negative .

Also , let speed of ball after collision is (striped ball ) u and (solid ball) v .

It is also given that the collision is elastic .

Therefore , kinetic energy is conserved .

$\dfrac{m(3)^2}{2}+\dfrac{m(3)^2}{2}=\dfrac{mu^2}{2}+\dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\\\u^2+v^2=18$ ...... ( 1 )

Also , by conserving linear momentum .

We get :

$3m-3m=mu+mv\\u=-v$ ...... ( 2 )

Putting value of u from equation 2 to equation 1 .

We get :

$2v^2=18\\v=3\ m/s$

And , u = -3 m/s .

Therefore , final speed of striped ball is 3 m/s in left direction .

Hence , this is the required solution .
