A 5-m steel beam is lowered by means of two cables unwinding at the same speed from overhead cranes. As the beam approaches the

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) The angular acceleration of the beam is 0.5 rad/s²CW (direction clockwise due the tangential acceleration is positive)

b) The acceleration of point A is 3.25 m/s²

The acceleration of point E is 0.75 m/s²

Explanation:

a) The relative acceleration of B with respect to D is equal:

$a_{B} =a_{D} +(a_{B/D} )_{n} +(a_{B/D} )_{t}$

Where

aB = absolute acceleration of point B = 2.5 j (m/s²)

aD = absolute acceleration of point D = 1.5 j (m/s²)

(aB/D)n = relative acceleration of point B respect to D (normal direction BD) = 0, no angular velocity of the beam

(aB/D)t = relative acceleration of point B respect to D (tangential direction BD)

$a_{B} =a_{D} +(a_{B/D} )_{t}$

$2.5j=1.5j +(a_{B/D} )_{t}\\(a_{B/D} )_{t}=j=1m/s^{2}$

We have that

(aB/D)t = BDα

Where α = acceleration of the beam

BDα = 1 m/s²

Where

BD = 2

$2\alpha =1\\\alpha =0.5rad/s^{2}CW$

b) The acceleration of point A is:

$a_{A} =a_{D} +(a_{A/D} )_{t}$

(aA/D)t = ADαj

$a_{A} =a_{D} +AD\alpha j\\a_{A}=1.5j+(3.5*0.5)j\\a_{A}=3.25jm/s^{2}$

The acceleration of point E is:

(aE/D)t = -EDαj

$a_{E} =a_{D} -ED\alpha j\\a_{E}=1.5j-(1.5*0.5)j\\a_{E}=0.75jm/s^{2}$

A uniform rod is set up so that it can rotate about a perpendicular axis at one of its ends. The length and mass of the rod are

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

0.231 N

Explanation:

To get from rest to angular speed of 6.37 rad/s within 9.87s, the angular acceleration of the rod must be

$\alpha = \frac{\theta}{t} = \frac{6.37}{9.87} = 0.6454 rad/s^2$

If the rod is rotating about a perpendicular axis at one of its end, then it's momentum inertia must be:

$I = \frac{mL^2}{3} = \frac{1.27*0.847^2}{3} = 0.303kgm^2$

According to Newton 2nd law, the torque required to exert on this rod to achieve such angular acceleration is

$T = I\alpha = 0.303*0.6454 = 0.196 Nm$

So the force acting on the other end to generate this torque mush be:

$F = \frac{T}{L} = \frac{0.196}{0.847} = 0.231 N$

Acceleration = (change in speed)/(time for the change)

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed)

Change in speed = (10 m/s) - (20 m/s) = -10 m/s

Time for the change = 5.00 seconds

Acceleration = (-10 m/s) / (5 sec)

<em>Acceleration = -2 m/s²</em>

That's choice-A .

To drive your car from Auburn to Atlanta (173.8 km) takes a significant amount of work. Assuming the force of friction between t

Daniel [21]

Answer:

1788.402 MJ

Explanation:

Work done = Force (N) x distance (m)

First we have to convert distance into metres:

173.8 x 1000 = 173,800 m

Then plug these values into the equation above:

173,800 x 10290 = 1788402000 J

The reason it's Joules (the unit for energy) is because work done = energy transferred

Now we have to convert Joules into Mega Joules:

1 J = 1/1000000 MJ

1788402000 J = 1788402000/ 1000000 = 1788.402 MJ

T or F :)

balandron [24]

That's true.

And I'll go ya a better one:

If the object is moving or not moving, at a constant or changing speed, in a straight or curvy line, and the forces on it do not cancel out and add up to zero, the object will accelerate.
