Define couple and give 2 examples

Physics

zvonat [6]2 years ago

A couple consists of two parallel forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in sense and do not share a line of action. ... For example, the forces that two hands apply to turn a steering wheel are often (or should be) a couple. Each hand grips the wheel at points on opposite sides of the shaft.

Answer:

Two equal and opposite parallel forces not acting along the same line, form a couple. A couple is always needed to produce the rotation.

For example, turning a key in a lock and turning a steering wheel.

What is the speed that is measured in speedometer to track speed violation?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The officer's unit detects this 135-mile-per-hour speed and should subtract the patrol car's 70-mile -per-hour ground speed to get your true speed of 65 miles per hour. Instead, the officer's ground-speed beam fixes on the truck ahead and measures a false 50-mile-per-hour ground speed.

Explanation:

A speedometer or speed meter is a gauge that measures and displays the instantaneous speed of a vehicle. Now universally fitted to motor vehicles, they started to be available as options in the early 20th century, and as standard equipment from about 1910 onwards.

A 3.9 kg ball traveling towards a soccer player at a velocity of -3.5 m/s rebounds off the soccer player's foot at a velocity of
Tresset [83]

Answer: 2.92 s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of ball is m=3.9\ kg

The initial velocity of the ball is u=-3.5\ m/s

Velocity after the rebound is v=15.9\ m/s

Force during the contact is F=25.9\ N

We know, change in momentum is Impulse

\Rightarrow F\cdot \Delta t=m(\Delta v)

\Rightarrow 25.9\cdot \Delta t=3.9(15.9-(-3.5))\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta t=\dfrac{3.9\times 19.4}{25.9}=2.92\ s

Thus, the force is applied for 2.92 s
