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

podryga [215]
Frequency is given by the formula cycles÷seconds

So if the mosquito can complete 600 cycles in one second, our formula will be

f=600÷1
f=600!

The frequency is 600 Hz

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

v = 20.31 m/s

Explanation:

p = mv -> v = p/m = 32,500 kg*m/s / 1,600 kg = 20.31 m/s

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha
katovenus [111]

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

  • When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.
  • While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.
  • And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these  conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.
