Answer:

A) k = 2,858 10⁴ N / m , B) x_total = - 5,812 10⁻¹ m

C) it is very possible that the obtained value is not realistic for small vehicles

Explanation:

Part A

In this case we can use Hooke's law

F = - k x

force is the weight of the driver

F = W

mg = - k x

k = - mg / x

the springs are compressed x = - 2,4 10⁻² m

k = - 70 9.8 / (-2.4 10⁻²)

k = 2,858 10⁴ N / m

Part B

Since we have the spring constant we must find the complete weight, for this we look for the total masses

each mass is the number of element by the mass of an element

M = 23 70 + 3 15 + 5 3 + 1 25

M = 1695 kg

F = -k x

F = W = M g

Mg = - k x_total

x_total = -M g / k

x_total = -1695 9.8 / 2,858 10⁴

x_total = - 5,812 10⁻¹ m

The negative sign indicates that the springs are compressing

Part C

The truck has lowered 0.58 m = 58 cm

This drop is very large probably in a real vehicle with this drop it would be touching the ground or very close, therefore it is very possible that the obtained value is not realistic for small vehicles

Explanation:

In order from highest to lowest energy, the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves. Microwaves (like the ones used in microwave ovens) are a subsection of the radio wave segment of the EM spectrum.

When does sea breeze occur

Vladimir79 [104]

<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the uneven heating rates of water and land. The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the day. At this rate, the air above the land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or replace the rising warm air.</span>

Windows having double glass panes with some space between them is called double glazing. Why do windows in cold countries have d

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: for insulation of heat

Explanation:

Windows in cold countries have double glazing windows to provide a barrier against the outside temperature by creating a buffer zone between two glasses.

The air or any other gas-filled between the glasses act as an insulator and offer great resistance to outside temperature thereby maintaining the inside temperature intact.

Diesel fuel is used in the engine of trucks that carry dirt fruit and other cargo. Fuel is burned in engines to make the motor m

Marina86 [1]

Answer: Fuel is burned in engines to make the motor move.

( Chemical to Mechanical )

Explanation:

during combustion of the diesel ( when the fuel is burnt in the engine of the vehicle, the diesel ( chemical energy ) is transformed or converted to Mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is what the truck uses in moving. Without the combustion of the fuel the vehicle won’t move and the combustion of diesel is achieved through compression unlike that of fuel.

What is the (magnitude of the) centripetal acceleration (as a multiple of g=9.8~\mathrm{m/s^2}g=9.8 m/s 2 ) towards the Eart

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration as a multiple of $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is $1.020x10^{-3}m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is defined as:

$a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$ (1)

Where v is the velocity and r is the radius

Since the person is standing in the Earth surfaces, their velocity will be the same of the Earth. That one can be determined by means of the orbital velocity:

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (2)

Where r is the radius and T is the period.

For this case the person is standing at a latitude $71.9^{\circ}$ . Remember that the latitude is given from the equator. The configuration of this system is shown in the image below.

It is necessary to use the radius at the latitude given. That radius can be found by means of trigonometric.

$\cos \theta = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$\cos \theta = \frac{r_{71.9^{\circ}}}{r_{e}}$ (3)

Where $r_{71.9^{\circ}}$ is the radius at the latitude of $71.9^{\circ}$ and $r_{e}$ is the radius at the equator ( $6.37x10^{6}m$ ).

$r_{71.9^{\circ}}$ can be isolated from equation 3:

$r_{71.9^{\circ}} = r_{e} \cos \theta$ (4)

$r_{71.9^{\circ}} = (6.37x10^{6}m) \cos (71.9^{\circ})$

$r_{71.9^{\circ}} = 1.97x10^{6} m$

Then, equation 2 can be used

$v = \frac{2 \pi (1.97x10^{6} m)}{24h}$

Notice that the period is the time that the Earth takes to give a complete revolution (24 hours), this period will be expressed in seconds for a better representation of the velocity.

$T = 24h . \frac{3600s}{1h}$ ⇒ $84600s$
