Explain how a theodolite works.

1 answer:

Oksana_A [137]3 years ago

5 0

The theodolite is a precision measuring device used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It works with a combination of: (1) optical plummets, which is used to ensure that it is placed exactly vertical above; (2) internal spirit, which ensures that it is levelled to the horizon; and (3) graduated circles, one vertical and one horizontal, which is used to measure actual angles. The mounted telescope can swivel horizontally and vertically. If this is adjusted correctly, accurate measurements can be obtained.

An automobile of mass 2000 kg moving at 30 m/s is braked suddenly with a constant braking force of 10000 N. How far does the car

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of automobile = 2000 kg

speed = 30 m/s

Braking force = 10000 N

For, The acceleration is

Using newton's formula

$F = ma$

Where, f = force

m= mass

a = acceleration

Put the value of F and m into the formula

$-10000 =2000\times a$

Negative sing shows the braking force.

It shows the direction of force is opposite of the motion.

$a = -\dfrac{10000}{2000}$

$a=-5\ m/s^2$

For the distance,

Using third equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Where, v= final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = stopping distance of car

Put the value in the equation

$0-30^2=2\times(-5)\times s$

$s = 90\ m$

Hence, The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.

The net horizontal force on a car is 981 N. The car has a mass of 1550 kg and the force is applied when the car has a speed of 2

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Distance, d = 778.05 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the car, F = 981 N

Mass of the car, m = 1550 kg

Initial speed of the car, v = 25 mi/h = 11.17 m/s

We need to find the distance covered by car if the force continues to be applied to the car. Firstly, lets find the acceleration of the car:

$F=ma\\\\a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{981}{1550}\\\\a=0.632\ m/s^2$

Let d is the distance covered by car. Using second equation of motion as :

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=11.17\times 35+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.632\times (35)^2\\\\d=778.05\ m$

So, the car will cover a distance of 778.05 meters.

A cannon at rest fires a 32.5 kg cannonball forward at 388 m/s. After firing, the cannon recoils at 7.42 m/s. What is the mass o

Bond [772]

Answer:

1700 kg

Explanation:

Let’s use conservation of momentum

32.5 * 388 = 7.42 * mc

mc = 1699.46

mc = 1700 kg
