A motor vehicle has a mass of 1.8 tonnes and its wheelbase is 3 m. The centre of gravity of the vehicle is situated in the centr

al plane 0.9 m above the ground and 1.7 m behind the front axle. When moving on the level at 90 km/h the brakes applied and it comes to a rest in a distance of 50 m.
Calculate the normal reactions at the front and rear wheels during the braking period and the least coefficient of friction required between the tyres and the road. (Assume g = 10 m/s2)

Answer:

normal reaction, front: 11,175 N
normal reaction, rear: 6,825 N
minimum coefficient of friction: 0.625

Explanation:

The speed in meters per second is ...

(90 km/h)(1000 m/km)(1 h/(3600 s)) = 25 m/s

The braking acceleration can be found from ...

a = v²/(2d) = (25 m/s)²/(2×50 m) = 6.25 m/s²

Then the braking force is ...

F = Ma = (1800 kg)(6.25 m/s²) = 11,250 N

The torque on the center of gravity is ...

T = (11,250 N)(0.90 m) = 10,125 N·m

__

If we let x and y represent the normal forces on the front and rear wheels, respectively, then we have ...

x + y = (10 m/s²)(1800 kg) = 18000 . . . . . newtons

1.7x -1.3y = 10,125 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . newton-meters

The latter equation balances the torque due to the wheel normal forces with the torque due to braking forces.

Multiplying the first equation by 1.3 and adding that to the second, we have ...

3.0x = (1.3)(18,000) + 10,125

x = 33,525/3 = 11,175 . . . . . . . . . . . newtons normal force on front tyres

y = 18000 -11175 = 6,825 . . . . . . . .newtons normal force on back tyres

The least coefficient of friction is the ratio of horizontal to vertical acceleration, 6.25/10 = 0.625.

In a series lrc circuit, the frequency at which the circuit is at resonance is f0. If you double the resistance, the inductance,

taurus [48]

When you double capacitance and inductance, the new resonance frequency becomes f/2.

Resonance frequency:

The resonance frequency of RLC series circuit, is the frequency at which the capacity reactance is equal to inductive reactance.

It can also be defined as the natural frequency of an object where it tends to vibrate at a higher amplitude.

Xc = Xl

which gives the value for resonance frequency:

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC} }$

where;

f is the resonance frequency

L is the inductance

C is the capacitance

When you double capacitance and inductance, the new resonance frequency becomes;

$f' = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{2L2C} }$

$f' = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{4LC} }$

$f' = \frac{1}{\pi \sqrt{LC} }\frac{1}{2}$

$f' = \frac{1}{2} f$

Thus from above,

When you double capacitance and inductance, the new resonance frequency becomes f/2.

A 0.14-MIN baseball is dropped from rest. It has a momentum of 0.90 kg⋅m/skg⋅m/s just before it lands on the ground.

nikitadnepr [17]

The time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

The given parameters;

<em>momentum of the ball, P = 0.9 kgm/s</em>
<em>weight of the ball, W = 0.14 N</em>

The impulse experienced by the ball is calculated as follows;

$Ft = \Delta P$

where;

$Ft$ is impulse

$\Delta P$ is change in momentum

The time of motion of the ball is calculated as follows;

$t = \frac{\Delta P}{F} \\\\t = \frac{0.9 - 0}{0.14} \\\\t = 6.43 \ s$

Thus, the time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

A 65-kg ice skater stands facing a wall with his arms bent and then pushes away from the wall by straightening his arms. At the

Marrrta [24]

Our values can be defined like this,

$m = 65kg$

$v = 3.5m / s$

$d = 0.55m$

The problem can be solved for part A, through the Work Theorem that says the following,

$W = \Delta KE$

Where

KE = Kinetic energy,

Given things like that and replacing we have that the work is given by

W = Fd

and kinetic energy by

$\frac {1} {2} mv ^ 2$

So,

$Fd = \frac {1} {2} m ^ 2$

Clearing F,

$F = \frac {mv ^ 2} {2d}$

Replacing the values

$F = \frac {(65) (3.5)} {2 * 0.55}$

$F = 723.9N$

B) The work done by the wall is zero since there was no displacement of the wall, that is d = 0.
