Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slid

e forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, that a 10 000-kg load sits on the flatbed of a 20 000-kg truck moving at 12.0 m/s. Assume that the load is not tied down to the truck, but has a coefficient of friction of 0.500 with the flatbed of the truck.
A) Calculate the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.
B) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution?
a) mass of the load.
b) mass of the truck.
c) velocity.
d) coefficient of static friction.
e) all are necessary.

Answer:

A)

the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck is 14 m

B)

data that were not necessary to the solution are;

a) mass of truck and b) mass of load

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of load $m_{LS}$ = 10000 kg

mass of flat bed $m_{FB}$ = 20000 kg

initial speed of truck $v_{0}$ = 12 m/s

coefficient of friction between the load sits and flat bed μs = 0.5

A) the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.

Now, using the expression

Fs,max = μs $F_{N}$ -------------let this be equation 1

where $F_{N}$ = normal force = mg

so

Fs,max = μs mg

ma $_{max}$ = μs mg

divide through by mass

a $_{max}$ = μs g ---------- let this be equation 2

in equation 2, we substitute in our values

a $_{max}$ = 0.5 × 9.8 m/s²

a $_{max}$ = 4.9 m/s²

now, from the third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as

$v_{f}$ ² = $v_{0}$ ² + 2aΔx

where $v_{f}$ is final velocity ( 0 m/s )

a is acceleration( - 4.9 m/s² )

so we substitute

(0)² = (12 m/s)² + 2(- 4.9 m/s² )Δx

0 = 144 m²/s² - 9.8 m/s²Δx

9.8 m/s²Δx = 144 m²/s²

Δx = 144 m²/s² / 9.8 m/s²

Δx = 14 m

Therefore, the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck is 14 m

B) data that were not necessary to the solution are;

a) mass of truck and b) mass of load

5. A single slit illuminated with a 500 nm light gives a diffraction pattern on a far screen. The 5th minimum occurs at 7.00° aw

abruzzese [7]

For a single slit illuminated with a 500 nm light gives a diffraction pattern on a far screen,the angle is mathematically given as

theta=25.3

Option A is correct

<h3> What angle does the 18th minimum occur?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the the angle is mathematically given as

$\theta=n(\lambda/d)$

Therefore

$\theta 1/ \theta 2=n1(\lambda/d)/ n2(\lambda/d)$

In conclusion

theta/7=16/5

theta=10*7/5

theta=25.3

Determine the elastic energy U stored in<br> the compressed spring.

hoa [83]

Answer:

Answer: The spring constant of the spring is k = 800 N/m, and the potential energy is U = 196 J. To find the distance, rearrange the equation: The equation to find the distance the spring has been compressed is therefore: The spring has been compressed 0.70 m, which resulted in an elastic potential energy of U = 196 J being stored.

A large power plant generates electricity at 12.0 kV. Its old transformer once converted the voltage to 385 kV. The secondary of

enot [183]

Answer:

a) In the new transformer there are 42 turns in the secondary per turn in the primary, while in the old transformer there were 32 turns per turn in the primary.

b) The new output is 86% of the old output

c) The losses in the new line are 74% the losses in the old line.

Explanation:

a) To relate the turns of primary and secondary to the ratio of voltage we have this expression:

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}$

In the old transformer the ratio of voltages was:

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{12}{385} =0.03117\\\\n_2=n_1/0.03117=32.1n_1$

In the new transformer the ratio of voltages is:

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{12}{500} =0.024\\\\n_2=n_1/0.24=41.7n_1$

In the new transformer there are 42 turns in the secondary per turn in the primary, while in the old transformer there were 32 turns per turn in the primary.

b) The new current ratio is

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{12}{500}= 0.024\\\\I_2=0.024I_1$

If the old current output was 425 kV, the ratio of current was:

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{12}{425}= 0.028\\\\I_2=0.028I_1$

Then, the ratio of the new output over the old output is:

$\frac{I_{2new}}{I_{2old}} =\frac{0.024\cdot I_1}{0.028\cdot I_1}= 0.86$

The new output is 86% of the old output (smaller output currents lower the losses on the transmission line).

c) The power loss is expressed as:

$P_L=I^2\cdot R$

Then, the ratio of losses is (R is constant for both power losses):

$\frac{P_n}{P_o} =\frac{I_n^2R}{I_o^2R} =(\frac{I_n}{I_o} )^2=0.86^2=0.74$

The losses in the new line are 74% the losses in the old line.
