What will the stopping distance be for a 2,000-kg car if -2,000 N of force are applied when the car is traveling 20 m/s?

astraxan [27]

Answer is B- 200 m

Given:

m (mass of the car) = 2000 Kg

F = -2000 N

u(initial velocity)= 20 m/s.

v(final velocity)= 0.

Now we know that

F= ma

Where F is the force exerted on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration of the object

Substituting the given values

-2000 = 2000 × a

a = -1 m/s∧2

Consider the equation

v=u +at

where v is the initial velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

0= 20 -t

t=20 secs

s = ut +1/2(at∧2)

where s is the displacement of the object

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s= 20 ×20 +(-1×20×20)/2

s= 200 m

How many turns are in its secondary coil, if its input voltage is 120 V and the primary coil has 210 turns

Tasya [4]

Complete Question

How many turns are in its secondary coil, if its input voltage is 120 V and the primary coil has 210 turns.

The output from the secondary coil is 12 V

Answer:

The value is $N_s = 21 \ turns$

Explanation:

From the equation we are told that

The input voltage is $V_{in} = 120 \ V$

The number of turns of the primary coil is $N_p = 210 \ turn$

The output from the secondary is $V_o = 12V$

From the transformer equation

$\frac{N_p}{V_{in}} =\frac{N_s}{V_o}$

Here $N_s$ is the number of turns in the secondary coil

=> $N_s = \frac{N_p}{V_{in}} * V_s$

=> $N_s = \frac{210}{120} * 12$

=> $N_s = 21 \ turns$

A loaded 375 kg toboggan is traveling on smooth horizontal snow at 4.50 m/s when it suddenly comes to a rough region. The region

zmey [24]

Answer:

a) The average friction force exerted on the toboggan is 653.125 newtons, b) The rough region reduced the kinetic energy of the toboggan in 92.889 %, c) The speed of the toboggan is reduced in 73.333 %.

Explanation:

a) Given the existence of non-conservative forces (friction between toboggan and ground), the motion must be modelled by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem, since toboggan decrease its speed (associated with due to the action of friction. Changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected due to the inclination of the ground. Then:

$K_{1} = K_{2} + W_{f}$

Where:

$K_{1}$ , $K_{2}$ are the initial and final translational kinetic energies of the tobbogan, measured in joules.

$W_{f}$ - Dissipated work due to friction, measured in joules.

By applying definitions of translation kinetic energy and work, the expression described above is now expanded and simplified:

$f\cdot \Delta s = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2})$

Where:

$f$ - Friction force, measured in newtons.

$\Delta s$ - Distance travelled by the toboggan in the rough region, measured in meters.

$m$ - Mass of the toboggan, measured in kilograms.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Initial and final speed of the toboggan, measured in meters per second.

The friction force is cleared:

$f = \frac{m\cdot (v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2})}{2\cdot \Delta s}$

If $m = 375\,kg$ , $v_{1} = 4.50\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{2} = 1.20\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\Delta s = 5.40 \,m$ , then:

$f = \frac{(375\,kg)\cdot \left[\left(4.50\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(1.20\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}\right]}{2\cdot (5.40\,m)}$

$f = 653.125\,N$

The average friction force exerted on the toboggan is 653.125 newtons.

b) The percentage lost by the kinetic energy of the tobbogan due to friction is given by the following expression, which is expanded and simplified afterwards:

$\% K_{loss} = \frac{K_{1}-K_{2}}{K_{1}}\times 100\,\%$
