Raindrops hitting the side windows of a car in motion often leave diagonal streaks even if there is no wind. Why? Is the explana

tion the same or different for diagonal streaks on the windshield?
Physics
1 answer:
labwork [276]2 years ago

Answer:

because of the raindrop velocity relative of the car has a vertical and horizontal component  

Explanation:

  1. The car moves in a <em>horizontal direction </em>relative to the ground. The raindrops fall in the <em>vertical direction</em> relative to the ground.
  2. Their velocity relative to the moving car has  both vertical and horizontal components and this is the reason for the diagonal streaks on the side window.
  3. The diagonal streaks on the windshield  arise from a different reason.
  4. The drops  are pushed  off to  one side  of the  windshield  because  of air resistance.

Consider a mechanical clutch that consists of two heavy disks that can engage or disengage. At the beginning disk 1 with mass m1
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

w = 4,786 rad / s ,  f = 0.76176 Hz

Explanation:

For this problem let's use the concept of angular momentum

       L = I w

The system is formed by the two discs, during the impact the system remains isolated, we have the forces are internal, this implies that the external torque is zero and the angular momentum is conserved

Initial Before sticking

      L₀ = 0 + I₂ w₂

Final after coupling

      L_{f} = (I₁ + I₂) w

The moments of inertia of a disk with an axis of rotation in its center are

      I = ½ M R²

How the moment is preserved

      L₀ = L_{f}

      I₂ w₂ = (I₁ + I₂) w

      w = w₂ I₂ / (I₁ + I₂)

Let's reduce the units to the SI System

      d₁ = 60 cm = 0.60 m

      d₂ = 40 cm = 0.40 m

      f₂ = 200 min-1 (1 min / 60 s) = 3.33 Hz

Angular velocity and frequency are related.

      w₂ = 2 π f₂

      w₂ = 2π 3.33

      w₂ = 20.94 rad / s

Let's replace

       w = w₂ (½ M₂ R₂²) / (½ M₁ R₁² + ½ M₂ R₂²)

       w = w₂ M₂ R₂² / (M₁ R₁² + M₂ R₂²)

Let's calculate

      w = 20.94 8 0.40² / (12 0.60² + 8 0.40²)

      w = 20.94 1.28 / 5.6

      w = 4,786 rad / s

Angular velocity and frequency are related.

      w = 2π f

      f = w / 2π

      f = 4.786 / 2π

      f = 0.76176 Hz

You're driving your new sports car at 80 mph over the top of a hill that has a radius of curvature of 540 m. What fraction of yo
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

75.84%

Explanation:

We were given Speed of the sports car, v as 80 mph , we can convert to m/s for unit consistency.

v=80mph= 35.76 m/s

The radius of curvature is given as , r = 540 m

✓ the normal weight can be denoted as Wn

✓ the apparent weight of the person can be denoted as Wa

Wn= normal weight= mg

Wa=apparent weight = (mg - mv^2/r)

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.8m/s^2

The apparent weightand normal weight has a ratio of

Mn/Ma= [mg - mv^2/r]/mg ........eqn(1)

If we simplify eqn(1) we have

Mn/Ma=[g - vr^2/g].............eqn(2)

Then substitute the given values

Mn/Ma=9.8 - [(35.76^2)/540]/ 9.8

=0.758×100%

Mn/Ma=75.84%

Hence, the required fraction is 75.84%
