After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 27 people including the driver, with an average

mass of 69kg per person. In addition, there are three 15-kg goats, five 3-kg chickens, and a total of 25 kg of bananas on their way to the market. Assume that the springs have somehow not yet compressed to their maximum amount. How much are the springs compressed?
Enter the compression numerically in meters using two significant figures.

Answer:

compression of spring is x = 0.12 m

Assumed k = 160,000 N/m ........ Truck's suspension system

Explanation:

Given:

- The mass of average person m_p = 69 kg

- Total number of persons n_p = 27

- The mass of each goat m_g = 15 kg

- The total number of goats n_g = 3

- The mass of each chicken m_c = 3 kg

- The total number of goats n_c = 5

- The total mass of bananas m_b = 25 kg

Find:

How much are the springs compressed?

Solution:

- Using equilibrium equation on the taptap in vertical direction:

                                 F_net = F_spring - F_weight = 0

- Compute the force due to all the weights on the taptap:

                                F_weight = (n_p*m_p + n_g*m_g + n_c*m_c + m_b)*9.81

                                F_weight = (69*27 + 3*15 + 5*3 + 25)*9.81  

                                F_weight = 19109.88 N

- The restoring force of a spring is given by:

                                F_spring = k*x

Where, k is the spring stiffness and x is the displacement:

                                 F_weight = F_spring

                                 19109.88 = k*x

                                 x = 19109.88 / k

We need to assume the spring stiffness we will take k = 160,0000 N/m (trucks suspension systems). The value of the stiffness must be high enough to sustain a load of 1.911 tonnes.

                                 x = 19109.88 / 160,000

                                 x = 0.1194 m ≈ 0.12 m = 12 cm

- A compression of 12 cm seems reasonable for a taptap to carry 1.911 tonnes of load. Hence, the assumption of spring stiffness was reasonable. Hence, the compression of spring is x = 0.12 m.

On which planet can you jump about the same height as Earth? Explain your answer.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Venus and Earth

Explanation:

The force of gravity depends on your mass AND the mass of the planet you stand on. Earth and Venus are about the same size, so they have about the same mass. If you go to Venus, your mass hasn't changed, and the planet mass is almost the same as earth- so the force of gravity on you (AKA your weight) will be the same.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

46.67 N/m

Explanation:

mass, m = 0.1 kg

distance, y = 2.1 cm = 0.021 m

Let K be the spring constant.

F = mg = Ky

0.1 x 9.8 = K x 0.021

K = 46.67 N/m

Thus, the spring constant of the spring is 46.67 N/m.

The Kelly family and the Garcia family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Kelly family's spri
elena55 [62]

Answer:

30 hours

15 hours.

Explanation:

Let the Kelly used sprinkler for t hours and Gracia used the sprinkler for the rest ie (45 - t) hours .

Water output by Kelly = (35 x t) L

Water output by Gracia = 20 ( 45 - t ) L

Total output = 35t + 20(45 - t)

So,  35 t + 20 (45 - t ) = 1350

35 t + 900 - 20 t = 1350

15 t = 450

t = 30 hours

So Kelly used sprinkler for 30 hours and Gracia used it for 45 - 30 = 15 hours.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer: The Propellant fraction is 0.87.

The payload fraction is 0.04.

Δv = 8991.81 m/s

Explanation: To determine the fractions, first, calculate the total mass of the rocket:

m_{t} = m_{prop} + m_{str} + m_{pay}

m_{t} = 100,000 + 10,000 + 5,000

m_{t} = 115,000

The Propellant Fraction will be

m_{prop} = \frac{m_{prop}}{m_{t}}

m_{prop} = \frac{100,000}{115,000}

m_{prop} = 0.87

The Payload Fraction is:

m_{pay} = \frac{m_{pay}}{m_{t}}

m_{pay} = \frac{5,000}{115,000}

m_{pay} = 0.04

The value of Δv is calculated by the formula:

Δv = -V_{e}. ln(\frac{m_{final}}{m_{initial}} )

The exhaust velocity (V_{e}) is:

V_{e} = g_{0}.Isp

V_{e} = 9.81*450

V_{e} = 4414.5

m_{final} is the total mass after the rocket consume all the propellant and m_{initial} is the total mass before the action.

Δv = -V_{e}. ln(\frac{m_{final}}{m_{initial}} )

Δv = -4414.5.ln(\frac{15,000}{115,000} )

Δv = - 4414.5.ln(0.13)

Δv = 8991.81

Δv will be 8991.81 m/s.
