Mass and velocity are the two terms which affect momentum of a bicycle going hill down.

Explanation:

As we know that Momentum describes the motion of an object. It is the combination of the objects mass and velocity.

So, obviously with no doubt mass and velocity are the two terms which affect momentum.

Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)

The momentum also depends upon the mass and speed of the object.

More the mass of the object more is the momentum.

Depending upon the gravity and bicycle's motion speed momentum varies.

Bicycle moves faster the down hill if it moves with some speed as it has lesser mass the momentum also will be less.

You have a two-wheel trailer that you pull behind your ATV. Two children with a combined mass of 76.2 kg hop on board for a ride

marin [14]

a) The spring constant is 12,103 N/m

b) The mass of the trailer 2,678 kg

c) The frequency of oscillation is 0.478 Hz

d) The time taken for 10 oscillations is 20.9 s

Explanation:

When the two children jumps on board of the trailer, the two springs compresses by a certain amount

$\Delta x = 6.17 cm = 0.0617 m$

Since the system is then in equilibrium, the restoring force of the two-spring system must be equal to the weight of the children, so we can write:

$2mg = k'\Delta x$ (1)

where

m = 76.2 kg is the mass of each children

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$k'$ is the equivalent spring constant of the 2-spring system

For two springs in parallel each with constant k,

$k'=k+k=2k$

Substituting into (1) and solving for k, we find:

$2mg=2k\Delta x\\k=\frac{mg}{\Delta x}=\frac{(76.2)(9.8)}{0.0617}=12,103 N/m$

The period of the oscillating system is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k'}}$

where

And for the system in the problem, we know that

T = 2.09 s is the period of oscillation

m is the mass of the trailer

$k'=2k=2(12,103)=24,206 N/m$ is the equivalent spring constant of the system

Solving the equation for m, we find the mass of the trailer:

$m=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2 k'=(\frac{2.09}{2\pi})^2 (24,206)=2,678 kg$

The frequency of oscillation of a spring-mass system is equal to the reciprocal of the period, therefore:

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

In this problem, we have

T = 2.09 s is the period

Therefore, the frequency of oscillation is

$f=\frac{1}{2.09}=0.478 Hz$

The period of the system is

T = 2.09 s

And this time is the time it takes for the trailer to complete one oscillation.

In this case, we want to find the time it takes for the trailer to complete 10 oscillations (bouncing up and down 10 times). Therefore, the time taken will be the period of oscillation multiplied by 10.

Therefore, the time needed for 10 oscillations is:

$t=10T=10(2.09)=20.9 s$

% = Wo/Wi x 100 Solve for Wo % = Wo/Wi x 100 Solve for Wi

irga5000 [103]

1) % = (Wo /Wi) * 100

Solve for Wo => Wo = (% / 100) * Wi

For example, % =30% and Wi = 250 => Wo = (30 /100) * 250 = 0.30 * 250 = 75

Wo = 75

2) % = (Wo / Wi) * 100

Solve for Wi

=> Wi = Wo * (%/100)

For example, Wo = 125 and % = 40%

=> Wi = 125 * (40 / 100) = 125 * 0.40 = 50

Wi = 50

enyata [817]

Internal energy is defined as the energy associated with the random, disordered motion of molecules. It is denoted by U and calculated by the expression:

ΔU = Q - W

We calculate as follows:

ΔU = 68 J - 32 J
ΔU = 36 J
