A compact car has a mass of 1380 kg . Assume that the car has one spring on each wheel, that the springs are identical, and that

astraxan [27]

Answer:

A) $k=34867.3384\ N.m^{-1}$

B) $\omega'\approx84\ Hz$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of car, $m=1380\ kg$

frequency of spring oscillation, $f=1.6\ Hz$

We knkow the formula for spring oscillation frequency:

$\omega=2\pi.f$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{m} } =2\pi.f$

$\sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{1380} } =2\times \pi\times 1.6$

$k_{eq}=139469.3537\ N.m^{-1}$

Now as we know that the springs are in parallel and their stiffness constant gets added up in parallel.

<u>So, the stiffness of each spring is (as they are identical):</u>

$k=\frac{k_{eq}}{4}$

$k=\frac{139469.3537}{4}$

$k=34867.3384\ N.m^{-1}$

given that 4 passengers of mass 70 kg each are in the car, then the oscillation frequency:

$\omega'=\sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{(m+70\times 4)} }$

$\omega'=\sqrt{\frac{139469.3537}{(1380+280)} }$

$\omega'\approx84\ Hz$

When a red giant completes helium fusion and collapses, it becomes a ______.

Firdavs [7]

<span>When a red giang complete helium fusion and collapses, it becomes a white dwarf. The correct option is C. White dwarf are very dense stars that are usually the size of a planet. It is a stellar core reminant which mainly made up of electron degenerated matters; its mass is comparable to that of the sun while its volume is comparable to that of the earth. </span>
