Answer: The car strikes the barrier with a force of 3,250 N.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Force = mass x acceleration

Replacing with the values given and solving for F (force)

F = 2,500 kg x 1.3 m/s2 = 3,250 kgm/s2 = 3,250 Newton.

In conclusion, the car strikes the barrier with a force of 3,250 N.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

A thick oak wall initially at 25°C is suddenly exposed to gases for which T =800°C and h =20 W/m2.K. Answer the following questi

Schach [20]

Answer:

a) What is the surface temperature, in °C, after 400 s?

T (0,400 sec) = 800°C

b) Yes, the surface temperature is greater than the ignition temperature of oak (400°C) after 400 s

c) What is the temperature, in °C, 1 mm from the surface after 400 s?

T (1 mm, 400 sec) = 798.35°C

Explanation:

oak initial Temperature = 25°C = 298 K

oak exposed to gas of temp = 800°C = 1073 K

h = 20 W/m².K

From the book, Oak properties are e=545kg/m³ k=0.19w/m.k Cp=2385J/kg.k

Assume: Volume = 1 m³, and from energy balance the heat transfer is an unsteady state.

From energy balance: $\frac{T - T_{\infty}}{T_i - T_{\infty}} = Exp (\frac{-hA}{evCp})t$

Initial temperature wall = $T_i$

Surface temperature = T

Gas exposed temperature = $T_{\infty}$

A fatigue test was conducted in which the mean stress was 90 MPa (13050 psi), and the stress amplitude was 190 MPa (27560 psi).

Gwar [14]

Answer:

a) 280MPa

b) -100MPa

c) -0.35

d) 380 MPa

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

mean stress $\sigma_m = 90MPa$

stress amplitude $\sigma_a = 190MPa$

a) $\sigma_m =\frac{\sigma_max+\sigma_min}{2}$

$90 =\frac{\sigma_{max}+\sigma_{min}}{2}$ --------------1

$\sigma_a =\frac{\sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}}{2}$

$190 = \frac{\sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}}{2}$ -----------2

solving 1 and 2 equation we get

$\sigma_{max} = 280MPa$

b) $\sigma_{min} = - 100MPa$

stress ratio $=\frac{\sigma_{min}}{\sigma_{max}}$

$=\frac{-100}{280} = -0.35$

d)magnitude of stress range

$=(\sigma_{max} -\sigma_{min})$

= 280 -(-100) = 380 MPa

What are some advantages of making electronic components like transistors increasingly smaller?

Stells [14]

Answer:

Dr. Engelbart, who would later help develop the computer mouse and other personal computing technologies, theorized that as electronic circuits were made smaller, their components would get faster, require less power and become cheaper to produce — all at an accelerating pace

Given a force of 72 lbs at a distance of 15 ft, calculate the moment produced.

Elis [28]

Answer:

1425.78 N.m

Explanation:

Moments of force is calculated as ;

Moments= Force * distance

M= F*d

The S.I unit for moment of force is Newton-meter (N.m)

Given in the question;

Force = 72 lbs

1 pound = 4.45 N

72 lbs = 4.45 * 72=320.4 N

Distance= 15 ft

1ft= 0.3048 m

15 ft = 15*0.3048 = 4.57 m

d= 4.57 m

M= F*d

M=320.4*4.57 =1425.78 N.m
