The dragster has a mass of 1.3 Mg and a center of mass at G. A parachute is attached at C provides a horizontal braking force of

F= (1.8v^2) N, where v is in m/s. Determine the deceleration the dragster can have upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground i.e., the normal reaction at B is zero. Neglect the mass of the wheels and assume the engine is disengaged so that the wheels are free to roll.G is 1.25m from A and B.

Answer:

The deceleration of the dragster upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground is  16.33 m/s²

Explanation:

The additional information to the question is embedded in the diagram attached below:

The height between the dragster and ground is considered to be 0.35 m since is not given ; thus in addition win 0.75 m between the dragster and the parachute; we have: (0.75 + 0.35) m = 1.1 m

Balancing the equilibrium about point A;

F(1.1) - mg (1.25) = ma_a (0.35)

1.8v^2(1.1) - 1200(9.8)(1.25) = 1200a(0.35)

1.8v^2(1.1) - 14700 = 420 a   ------- equation (1)

F_x = ma_x \\ \\ = 1.8v^2 = 1200 \ a             --------- equation (2)

Replacing equation 2 into equation 1 ; we have :

{1.1 * 1200 \ a} - 14700 = 420 a

1320 a - 14700 = 420 a

1320 a -  420 a =14700

900 a = 14700

a = 14700/900

a = 16.33 m/s²

The deceleration of the dragster upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground is  16.33 m/s²

Answer:

20 ms¯¹

Explanation:

3. Determination of the final velocity

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration (a) = 5 ms¯²

Initial velocity (u) = 0 ms¯¹

Final velocity (v) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the change in velocity per unit time.

Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Acceleration (a) = final velocity – Initial velocity / time

a = v – u / t

With the above formula, we can obtain the final velocity of the car as follow:

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration (a) = 5 ms¯²

Initial velocity (u) = 0 ms¯¹

Final velocity (v) =?

a = v – u / t

5 = v – 0 / 4

5 = v / 4

Cross multiply

v = 5 × 4

v = 20 ms¯¹

Thus, the final velocity of the car is 20 ms¯¹

The particles of the medium (slinky in this case) move up and down (choice #2) in a transverse wave scenario.

This is the defining characteristic of transverse waves, like particles on the surface of water while a wave travels on it, or like particles in a slack rope when someone sends a wave through by giving it a jolt.

The other kind of waves is longitudinal, where the particles of the medium move "left-and-right" along the direction of the wave propagation. In the case of the slinky, this would be achieved by giving a tensioned slinky an "inward" jolt. You would see that such a jolt would give rise to a longitudinal wave traveling along the length of the tensioned slinky. Another example of longitudinal waves are sound waves.
