The motion of a piston in an auto engine is simple harmonic. If the piston travels back and forth over a distance of 10 cm and t

he piston has a mass of 1.5 kg, what is the maximum speed of the piston and the maximum force acting on the piston when the engine is running at 4200 rpm?

Answer:

Maximum force will be 29040 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of the piston m = 1.5 kg

Amplitude A = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Angular speed $\omega =4200rpm=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 4200}{60}=440rad/sec$

We know that angular speed is given by $\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$440=\sqrt{\frac{k}{1.5}}$

Squaring both side

$193600=\frac{k}{1.5}$

k = 290400 N/m

Now force is given by $F=kA=290400\times 0.1=29040N$

Problem: Suppose that the rate of flow of water through a fire hose is 21.4 kg/s and the stream of water from the hose moves at

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The force exerted is 318.86 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by such a stream is calculated by multiplying the mass flow rate of water by the velocity of the stream of water.

mass flow rate = 21.4 kg/s

velocity = 14.9 m/s

Force exerted = 21.4 kg/s × 14.9 m/s = 318.86 kgm/s^2 = 318.86 N

Explain why a black and white aeronautical map would be difficult to use

Aneli [31]

Aeronautical maps are usually meant to be used by pilots and air aviation professionals in other to navigate or traverse though the sky. With various elements such as vegetation, hills, valleys being depicted by color coded keys or legend. Hence, the absence of color on an aeronautical map make the <em>representation of elements very difficult</em>.

Visual map interpretation is usually aided by the use of legends. The legend hold the key to the elements which are represented on the map. Usually, a combination of colors and shapes makes up the legend and makes map interpretation easy.

Therefore, the absence of various color palletes for representation on a black and white aeronautical map will make it difficult to use.

When a sinusoidal wave with speed 20 m/s , wavelength 35 cm and amplitude of 1.0 cm passes, what is the maximum speed of a point

vova2212 [387]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency as a function of speed and wavelength as well as the kinematic equations of simple harmonic motion

From the definition we know that the frequency can be expressed as

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

Where,

$v = Velocity \rightarrow 20m/s$

$\lambda = Wavelength \rightarrow 35*10^{-2}m$

Therefore the frequency would be given as

$f = \frac{20}{35*10^{-2}}$

$f = 57.14Hz$

The frequency is directly proportional to the angular velocity therefore

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi *57.14$

$\omega = 359.03rad/s$

Now the maximum speed from the simple harmonic movement is given by

$V_{max} = A\omega$

Where

A = Amplitude

Then replacing,

$V_{max} = (1*10^{-2})(359.03)$

$V_{max} = 3.59m/s$

Therefore the maximum speed of a point on the string is 3.59m/s

A physicist drives through a stop light. When he is pulled over, he tells the police officer that the Doppler shift made the red

Alik [6]

Answer:

Speed of physicist car is 0.036c or 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s .

Explanation:

Doppler Effect is defined as the change in frequency or wavelength of the wave as the source or/and observer moving away or towards each other.

In this case, the Doppler effect equation in terms of wavelength is :

$\lambda_{s} = \lambda_{o}\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }$ ......(1)

Here $\lambda_{s}$ is source wavelength, $\lambda_{o}$ is observed wavelength, v is speed of the observer and c is the speed of light.

Given :

Source wavelength, $\lambda_{s}$ = 660 nm = 660 x 10⁻⁹ m

Observed wavelength, $\lambda_{0}$ = 555 nm = 555 x 10⁻⁹ m

Substitute these values in the equation (1).

$555\times10^{-9} } = 660\times10^{-9} \sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }$

$\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = 0.84$

${\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = (0.84)^{2} = 0.7056$

$1-\frac{v}{c}=0.7056+0.7056\frac{v}{c}$

$\frac{v}{c}=\frac{0.2944}{8.056}$

$v = 0.036c=0.036\times3\times10^{8}$

v = 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s
