The four-wheel-drive all-terrain vehicle has a mass of 385 kg with center of mass G2. The driver has a mass of 75 kg with center

of mass G1. If all four wheels are observed to spin momentarily as the driver attempts to go forward, what is the forward acceleration of the driver and ATV

The coefficient of friction is missing and it has a value of μ = 0.4

Answer:

a = 3.924 m/s²

Explanation:

I've attached the kinematic free body diagram.

Taking the sum of all upward and downward forces,

EFy = 0;

N1 + N2 - m_p•g - m_v•g = 0

N1 + N2 = m_p•g + m_v•g

Where;

N1 and N2 are the normal reactions at the wheels

m_p is the mass of the driver

m_v is the mass of the vehicle

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Plugging in the relevant values in the question,we obtain;

N1 + N2 = (385 + 75) x 9.81

N1 + N2 = 4512.6N - - - (eq1)

Now, taking sum of all horizontal forces;

EFx = (m_p + m_v) x a

So,

μ(N1 + N2) = (mp + mv) x a

Thus,

0.4(N1 + N2) = (385 + 75)a

0.4(N1 + N2) = 460a

N1 + N2 = 1150a

From eq(1),N1 + N2 = 4512.6N

Thus,

1150a = 4512.6N

a = 4512.6/1150

a = 3.924 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration, a = 3.924 m/s²

Describe the differences between a plum pudding model and a nuclear model.

sleet_krkn [62]

The plum pudding model, which has been abandoned since the discovery of the nucleus, stated that electrons were embedded in a "mush" of positive material. The nuclear model says they are placed around a central nucleus.

A charge is divided q1 and (q-q1)what will be the ratio of q/q1 so that force between the two parts placed at a given distance i

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$q / q_{1} = 2$ , assuming that $q_{1}$ and $(q - q_{1})$ are point charges.

Explanation:

Let $k$ denote the coulomb constant. Let $r$ denote the distance between the two point charges. In this question, neither $k$ and $r$ depend on the value of $q_{1}$ .

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force between $q_{1}$ and $(q - q_{1})$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k\, q_{1}\, (q - q_{1})}{r^{2}} \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\end{aligned}$ .

Find the first and second derivative of $F$ with respect to $q_{1}$ . (Note that $0 < q_{1} < q$ .)

First derivative:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{d}{d q_{1}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\right] \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, \left[\frac{d}{d q_{1}} [q\, q_{1}] - \frac{d}{d q_{1}}[{q_{1}}^{2}]\right]\\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\end{aligned}$ .

Second derivative:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{d^{2}}{{d q_{1}}^{2}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\right] \\ &= \frac{(-2)\, k}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

The value of the coulomb constant $k$ is greater than $0$ . Thus, the value of the second derivative of $F$ with respect to $q_{1}$ would be negative for all real $r$ . $F\!$ would be convex over all $q_{1}$ .

By the convexity of $\! F$ with respect to $\! q_{1} \!$ , there would be a unique $q_{1}$ that globally maximizes $F$ . The first derivative of $F\!$ with respect to $q_{1}\!$ should be $0$ for that particular $\! q_{1}$ . In other words:

$\displaystyle \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1}) = 0$ <em>.</em>

$2\, q_{1} = q$ .

$q_{1} = q / 2$ .

In other words, the force between the two point charges would be maximized when the charge is evenly split:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{q}{q_{1}} &= \frac{q}{q / 2} = 2\end{aligned}$ .

The free-fall acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s^2. What length of pendulum has a period of 1.0 s on Earth? What length of pendulum

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Free fall acceleration on mars $g_{m}=3.7\ m/s^2$

Time Period of pendulum on earth $T=1\ s$

Time period of Pendulum is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

for earth

$1=2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}$

$L=\frac{9.8}{(2\pi )^2}$

$L=0.498\ m$

(b)For same time period on mars length is given by

$L'=\frac{g_m}{(2\pi )^2}$

$L'=\frac{3.7}{39.48}$

$L'=0.0936\ m$

$L'=9.36\ cm$

What is terminal velocity and how is it reached?

Ber [7]

He thermal velocity or thermal speed is a typical velocity of the thermal motion of particles which make up a gas, liquid, etc. Thus, indirectly, thermal velocity is a measure of temperature. Technically speaking it is a measure of the width of the peak in the Maxwell–Boltzmann particle velocity distribution.

How does temperature affect chemical reaction

Elis [28]

When its temperature increases, the reactants have more kinetic energy so the frequency of effective collision increases, resulting in a faster rate of chemical reaction.
