Steep safety ramps are built beside mountain highway to enable vehichles with fedective brakes to stop safely. a truck enters a
1000 ft ramps at a high speed vo and travels 600ft in 7 s at constant deceleration before its speed is reduced to uo/2. Assuming the same constant deceleration.
Determine:
a. The additional time required for the truck to stop.
b. The additional distance traveled by the truck.
Determine:
a. The additional time required for the truck to stop.
b. The additional distance traveled by the truck.
1 answer:
Answer:
a. 6 seconds
b. 180 feet
Explanation:
Images attached to show working.
a. You have the position of the truck so you integrate twice. Use the formula and plug in the time t = 7 sec. Check out uniform acceleration. The time at which the truck's velocity is zero is when it stops.
b. Determine the initial speed. Plug in the time calculated in the previous step. From this we can observe that the truck comes to a stop before the end of the ramp.

Answer:
The required bulk modulus is Psi. So, the answer is non of these.
Explanation:
Change in pressure of the fluid is directly proportional to the volumetric strain. The constant of proportionality is the bulk modulus of the fluid.
Step1
Given:
Percentage change in volume is 1%.
Change in pressure is 10000 Psi.
Calculation:
Step2
Volumetric strain is calculated as follows:
Step3
Bulk modulus is calculated as follows:
\frac{\bigtriangleup V}{V}=0.01
K = 1000000 Psi.
Thus, the required bulk modulus is Psi.
