Answer:

0.6 m

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed it stores potential energy. This energy is:

Ep = 1/2 * k * x^2

Being x the distance it compressed/stretched.

When the spring bounces the ice cube back it will transfer that energy to the cube, it will raise up the slope, reaching a high point where it will have a speed of zero and a potential energy equal to what the spring gave it.

The potential energy of the ice cube is:

Ep = m * g * h

This is vertical height and is related to the distance up the slope by:

sin(a) = h/d

h = sin(a) * d

Replacing:

Ep = m * g * sin(a) * d

Equating both potential energies:

1/2 * k * x^2 = m * g * sin(a) * d

d = (1/2 * k * x^2) / (m * g * sin(a))

d= (1/2 * 25 * 0.1^2) / (0.05 * 9.81 * sin(25)) = 0.6 m

A large truck collides with a small car. True or False: The truck exerted a greater magnitude force on the car than the car exer
Reptile [31]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The forces on the car and truck are equal and opposite. The equal forces cause accelerations of the truck and car inversely proportional to their mass. That is, If the Truck A exerts a force FAB on car B, then the car will exert a force FBA on the truck. Therefore,

FBA = −FAB

However, this can be explained by Newton's second law. Let's say the truck has mass M and the car has mass m. If the magnitude of the force that both vehicles experience is F, then the magnitudes of their respective accelerations are:

atruck = F/M

acar = F/m

and combining these we get:

atruck/acar = m/M

So if the mass of the car is a lot less than the mass of the truck, then the acceleration of the truck is much smaller than the acceleration of the car, and if you were to watch the collision, the truck would pretty much seem like it's motion was unaffected, but the car's motion will change quite a bit.

How much tension must a rope withstand if it is used to accelerate a 6526 kg car vertically upwards at 8.9 m/s^2?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The value is T =  122036.2 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the car is  m  = 6526 \  kg

      The acceleration  is  a=  8.9 \  m/s^2

Generally the net force applied on the rope is mathematically represented as

          F_{net}   =  T -  W

Here W is the weight of the car which is evaluated as

         W =  m * g

=>      W =  6526  * 9.8

=>       W =  63954.8 \  N

Generally the net force can also be mathematically represented as

       F =  m * a

So

        m * a  =  T  -  63954.8

=>     6526  *  8.9 =  T  -  63954.8

=>      T =  122036.2 \  N

A car is parked on a steep incline, making an angle of 37.0° below the horizontal and overlooking the ocean, when its brakes fai
patriot [66]

Answer:

a) The speed of the car when it reaches the edge of the cliff is 19.4 m/s

b) The time it takes the car to reach the edge is 4.79 s

c) The velocity of the car when it lands in the ocean is 31.0 m/s at 60.2º below the horizontal

d) The total time interval the car is in motion is 6.34 s

e) The car lands 24 m from the base of the cliff.

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a description of the situation.

a) The equation for the position of an accelerated object moving in a straight line is as follows:

x =x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 a * t²

where:

x = position of the car at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

Since the car starts from rest and the origin of the reference system is located where the car starts moving, v0 and x0 = 0. Then, the position of the car will be:

x = 1/2 a * t²

With the data we have, we can calculate the time it takes the car to reach the edge and with that time we can calculate the velocity at that point.

46.5 m = 1/2 * 4.05 m/s² * t²

2* 46.5 m / 4.05 m/s² = t²

<u>t = 4.79 s </u>

The equation for velocity is as follows:

v = v0  + a* t

Where:

v = velocity

v0 =  initial velocity

a = acceleration

t = time

For the car, the velocity will be

v = a * t

at the edge, the velocity will be:

v = 4.05 m/s² * 4.79 s = <u>19.4 m/s</u>

b) The time interval was calculated above, using the equation of  the position:

x = 1/2 a * t²

46.5 m = 1/2 * 4.05 m/s² * t²

2* 46.5 m / 4.05 m/s² = t²

t = 4.79 s

c) When the car falls, the position and velocity of the car are given by the following vectors:

r = (x0 + v0x * t, y0 + v0y * t + 1/2 * g * t²)

v =(v0x, v0y + g * t)

Where:

r = position vector

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0x = initial horizontal velocity

t = time

y0 = initial vertical position

v0y = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

v = velocity vector

First, let´s calculate the initial vertical and horizontal velocities (v0x and v0y). For this part of the problem let´s place the center of the reference system where the car starts falling.

Seeing the figure, notice that the vectors v0x and v0y form a right triangle with the vector v0. Then, using trigonometry, we can calculate the magnitude of each velocity:

cos -37.0º = v0x / v0

(the angle is negative because it was measured clockwise and is below the horizontal)

(Note that now v0 is the velocity the car has when it reaches the edge. it was calculated in a) and is 19,4 m/s)

v0x = v0 * cos -37.0 = 19.4 m/s * cos -37.0º = 15.5 m/s

sin 37.0º = v0y/v0

v0y = v0 * sin -37.0 = 19.4 m/s * sin -37.0 = - 11. 7 m/s

Now that we have v0y, we can calculate the time it takes the car to land in the ocean, using the y-component of the vector "r final" (see figure):

y = y0 + v0y * t + 1/2 * g * t²

Notice in the figure that the y-component of the vector "r final" is -30 m, then:

-30 m = y0 + v0y * t + 1/2 * g * t²

According to our reference system, y0 = 0:

-30 m = v0y * t + 1/2 g * t²

-30 m = -11.7 m/s * t - 1/2 * 9.8 m/s² * t²

0 = 30 m - 11.7 m/s * t - 4.9 m/s² * t²

Solving this quadratic equation:

<u>t = 1.55 s</u> ( the other value was discarded because it was negative).

Now that we have the time, we can calculate the value of the y-component of the velocity vector when the car lands:

vy = v0y + g * t

vy = - 11. 7 m/s - 9.8 m/s² * 1.55s = -26.9 m/s

The x-component of the velocity vector is constant, then, vx = v0x = 15.5 m/s (calculated above).

The velocity vector when the car lands is:

v = (15.5 m/s, -26.9 m/s)

We have to express it in magnitude and direction, so let´s find the magnitude:

|v| = \sqrt{(15.5 m/s)^{2} + (-26.9 m/s)^{2}} = 31.0m/s

To find the direction, let´s use trigonometry again:

sin α = vy / v

sin α = 26.9 m/s / 31.0 m/s

α = 60.2º

(notice that the angle is measured below the horizontal, then it has to be negative).

Then, the vector velocity expressed in terms of its magnitude and direction is:

vy = v * sin -60.2º

vx = v * cos -60.2º

v = (31.0 m/s cos -60.2º, 31.0 m/s sin -60.2º)

<u>The velocity is 31.0 m/s at 60.2º below the horizontal</u>

d) The total time the car is in motion is the sum of the falling and rolling time. This times where calculated above.

total time = falling time + rolling time

total time = 1,55 s + 4.79 s = <u>6.34 s</u>

e) Using the equation for the position vector, we have to find "r final 1" (see figure):

r = (x0 + v0x * t, y0 + v0y * t + 1/2 * g * t²)

Notice that the y-component is 0 ( figure)

we have already calculated the falling time and the v0x. The initial position x0 is 0. Then.

r final 1 = ( v0x * t, 0)

r final 1 = (15.5 m/s * 1.55 s, 0)

r final 1 = (24.0 m, 0)

<u>The car lands 24 m from the base of the cliff.</u>

PHEW!, it was a very complete problem :)

Aconstant current of 3 Afor 4 hours is required to charge an automotive battery. If the terminal voltage is V, where t is in hou
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

(a) 43.2 kC

(b) 0.012V kWh

(c) 0.108V cents

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • i = current flow = 3 A
  • t = time interval for which the current flow = 4\ h = 4\times 3600\ s = 14400\ s
  • V = terminal voltage of the battery
  • R = rate of energy = 9 cents/kWh

<u>Assume:</u>

  • Q = charge transported as a result of charging
  • E = energy expended
  • C = cost of charging

Part (a):

We know that the charge flow rate is the electric current flow through a wire.

\therefore i = \dfrac{Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow Q =it\\\Rightarrow Q = 3\times 14400\\\Rightarrow Q = 43200\ C\\\Rightarrow Q = 43.200\ kC\\

Hence, 43.2 kC of charge is transported as a result of charging.

Part (b):

We know the electrical energy dissipated due to current flow across a voltage drop for a time interval is given by:

E = Vit\\\Rightarrow E = V\times 3\times 4\\\Rightarrow E = 12V\ Wh\\\Rightarrow E = 0.012V\ kWh\\

Hence, 0.012V kWh is expended in charging the battery.

Part (c):

We know that the energy cost is equal to the product of energy expended and the rate of energy.

\therefore \textrm{Cost}=\textrm{Energy}\times \textrm{Rate}\\\Rightarrow C = ER\\\Rightarrow C = 0.012V\times 9\\\Rightarrow C =0.108V\ cents

Hence, 0.108V cents is the charging cost of the battery.
