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

The moon's surface gravity is one-sixth that of the earth. Calculate the weight on the moon of an object that has a mass of 24 k
ad-work [718]
When we say "<span>The moon's surface gravity is one-sixth that of the earth.",
we mean that the acceleration of gravity on the Moon's surface is 1/6 of
the acceleration of gravity on the Earth's surface.

The acceleration of gravity is (9.8 m/s</span>²) on the Earth's surface, so
<span>it would be (9.8/6 m/s</span>²) on the Moon's surface.
<span>
The weight of any object, right now, is

(object's mass) </span>· (acceleration of gravity where the object is located now) .
<span>
If the object's mass is 24 kg and the object is on the Moon right now,
then its weight is 

(24 kg) </span>· (9.8/6 m/s²)

= (24 · 9.8 / 6) kg-m/s²

= 39.2 Newtons

How are electrical signals transmitted over long distances?
forsale [732]

Answer:

Over such small distances, digital data may be transmitted as direct, two-level electrical signals over simple copper conductors. This results from the electrical distortion of signals traveling through long conductors, and from noise added to the signal as it propagates through a transmission medium.
