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.

omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Considering non - relativistic approach : ----

Speed of electron = 1 % of speed of light

= .01 x 3 x 10⁸ m /s

= 3 x 10⁶ m /s

Kinetic energy of electron = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x ( 3 x 10⁶ )²

= 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Kinetic energy in electron comes from lose of electrical energy equal to

Ve where V is potential difference under which electron is accelerated and e is electronic charge .

V x e = kinetic energy of electron

V x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹

V = 25.6 Volt .

The position of a certain airplane during takeoff is given by x=1/2 *bt2, where b = 2.0 m/s2 and t = 0 corresponds to the instan
Serhud [2]

Answer:

1362000 kgm/s

Explanation:

So the total mass combination of the plane and the people inside it is

M = 35000 + 160*65 = 45400 kg

After 15 seconds at an acceleration of 2 m/s2, the plane speed would be

V = 2*15 = 30 m/s

So the magnitude of the plane 15s after brakes are released is

MV = 45400 * 30 = 1362000 kgm/s

What is the velocity of a car that traveled a total of 75 kilometers north in 1.5 hours?
swat32

The car's velocity is (distance + direction) / (time) =

                                 (75 km-north) / (1.5 hrs)  =

                                 (75/1.5)  (km-north/hr)  =  50 km/hr  north.

26. A transformer increases or decreases
uysha [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Single-phase transformers can operate to either increasing or decreasing the voltage applied to the primary winding. When a transformer is used to “increase” the voltage on the secondary winding with respect to the primary, it is called a Step-up transformer
