a = 3.09 m/s²

<h3>Explanation</h3>

This question doesn't tell anything about how long it took for the car to go through 105 meters. As a result, the <em>timeless </em>suvat equation is likely what you need for this question.

In the <em>timeless</em> suvat equation,

a = \dfrac{v^2 - u^2}{2\; x}

where

  • a is the acceleration of the car;
  • v is the <em>final</em> velocity of the car;
  • u is the <em>initial</em> velocity of the car; and
  • x is the displacement of the car.

Note that <em>v</em> and <em>u</em> are velocities. Make sure that you include their signs in the calculation.

In this question,

  • a is the unknown;
  • v = -10.9 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2};
  • u = -27.7 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}; and
  • x = - 105 \; \text{m}.

Apply the <em>timeless</em> suvat equation:

a = \dfrac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2\; x}\\\phantom{a} = \dfrac{(-10.9)^{2} - (-27.7)^{2}}{2 \times (-105)}\\\phantom{a} = 3.09 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}.

The value of a is greater than zero, which is reasonable. Velocity of the car is negative, meaning that the car is moving backward. The car now moves to the back at a slower speed. Effectively it accelerates to the front. Its acceleration shall thus be positive.

A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 9 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressure of 1.50
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: 33 mm

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of the tank, d = 9 m, so that, radius = d/2 = 9/2 = 4.5 m

Internal pressure of gas, P(i) = 1.5 MPa

Yield strength of steel, P(y) = 340 MPa

Factor of safety = 0.3

Allowable stress = 340 * 0.3 = 102 MPa

σ = pr / 2t, where

σ = allowable stress

p = internal pressure

r = radius of the tank

t = minimum wall thickness

t = pr / 2σ

t = 1.5*10^6 * 4.5 / 2 * 102*10^6

t = 0.033 m

t = 33 mm

The minimum thickness of the wall required is therefore, 33 mm
