An automobile can be considered to be mounted on four identical springs as far as vertical oscillations are concerned. The sprin

gs of a certain car are adjusted so that the oscillations have a frequency of 3.27 Hz. (a) What is the spring constant of each spring if the mass of the car is 1140 kg and the mass is evenly distributed over the springs? (b) What will be the oscillation frequency if five passengers, averaging 68.0 kg each, ride in the car with an even distribution of mass?

Answer:

a) 120341 N/m

b) 1.432 Hz

Explanation:

Given that

Frequency of oscillations of spring, F = 3.27 Hz

Mass of the car, m = 1140 kg

Average mass of passengers, M = 68 kg

The mass on each spring,

m = 1/4 m,

m = 1140 / 4

m = 285 kg

The spring constant on each spring, k is

ω = √(k/m), also,

ω = 2πf, so that

2πf = √(k/m)

If we square both sides, then

4π²f² = k/m

k = 4π²f²m if we substitute, we have

k = 4 * 3.142² * 3.27² * 285

k = 120341 Nm

Since the mass of each person is 68 kg, then the total mass of all passengers would be

68 * 5 = 340 kg

Thus, the total mass of the oscillating system is,

mass of passengers + mass of car

340 kg + 1140 kg

M(total) = 1480 kg

To get the vibrating frequency, we substitute for values in the equation

2πf = √(k/m)

F = 1/2π * √(k/m)

F = 1/2π * √(120341 / 1480)

F = 1/2π * √81.31

F = 0.1591 * 9

F = 1.432 Hz

Derive the equation of motion of the block of mass m1 in terms of its displacement x. The friction between the block and the sur

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

the equivalent mass : $m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}$

the equation of the motion of the block of mass $m_1$ in terms of its displacement is = $(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)$

Explanation:

Let use m₁ to represent the mass of the block and m₂ to represent the mass of the cylinder

The radius of the cylinder be = R

The distance between the center of the pulley to center of the block to be = x

Also, the angles of inclinations of the cylinder and the block with respect to the ground to be $\phi$ and $\beta$ respectively.

The velocity of the block to be = v

The equivalent mass of the system = $m_e$

In the terms of the equivalent mass, the kinetic energy of the system can be written as:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} m_ev^2$ --------------- equation (1)

The angular velocity of the cylinder = $\omega$ : &

The inertia of the cylinder about its center to be = I

The angular velocity of the cylinder can be written as:

$v = \omega R$

$\omega =\frac{v}{R}$

The kinetic energy of the system in terms of individual mass can be written as:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

By replacing $\omega$ with $\frac{v}{R}$ ; we have:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2+\frac{1}{2}I(\frac{v}{R})^2$

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+ m_2+ \frac{I}{R} )v^2$ ------------------ equation (2)

Equating both equation (1) and (2); we have:

$m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}$

Therefore, the equivalent mass : $m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}$ which is read as;

The equivalent mass is equal to the mass of the block plus the mass of the cylinder plus the inertia by the square of the radius.

The expression for the force acting on equivalent mass due to the block is as follows:

$f_{block }=m_1gsin \beta$

Also; The expression for the force acting on equivalent mass due to the cylinder is as follows:

$f_{cylinder} = m_2gsin \phi$

Equating the above both equations; we have the equation of motion of the equivalent system to be

$m_e \bar x = f_{cylinder}-f_{block}$

which can be written as follows from the previous derivations

$(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)$

Finally; the equation of the motion of the block of mass $m_1$ in terms of its displacement is = $(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)$

A "moving sidewalk" in an airport terminal moves at 1.0 m/s and is 35.0 m long. If a woman steps on at one end and walks at 1.5

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

a.14 s

b.70 s

Explanation:

a.Let the sidewalk moving in positive x- direction.

Speed of sidewalk relative to ground= $v_s=1m/s$

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=1.5m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground

$v_w=v_s+v=1+1.5=2.5m/s$

Distance=35 m

Time= $\frac{distance}{speed}$

Using the formula

Time taken by women to reach the opposite end if she walks in the same direction the sidewalk is moving= $\frac{35}{v_w}=\frac{35}{2.5}=14s$

b.If she gets on at the end opposite the end in part (a)

Then, we take displacement negative.

Speed of sidewalk relative to ground= $v_s=1m/s$

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=-1.5 m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground= $v_w=v_s+v=1-1.5=-0.5m/s$

Time= $\frac{-35}{-0.5}=70 s$

Hence, the women takes 70 s to reach the opposite end if she walks in the opposite direction the sidewalk is moving.

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez

katrin [286]

Answer:

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

Explanation:

pressure P = E/c

Where, E = 100 W/m^2 intensity of light

c= speed of light = 3×10^8 m/s

P = 1000/ 3×10^8

P = 3.33×10^(-6) Pa

Force F = P×A

P is the pressure and c= speed of light

F = 3.33×10^{-6}×6.65×10(-29)

= 2.22×10^{-6}

acceleration a = F/m = 2.22×10^{-6}/ 5.10×10^{-27}

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

We estimate the mass of the galaxy by observations of its ________ curve.

seropon [69]

The appropriate response is the rotation. There are most likely no less than 100 billion planets in the Milky Way. The Solar System is situated inside the circle, around 26,000 light-years from the Galactic Center, on the inward edge of one of the winding molded centralizations of gas and tidies called the Orion Arm.
