Answer: the effective design stiffness required to limit the bumper maximum deflection during impact to 4 cm is 3906250 N/m
Explanation:
Given that;
mass of vehicle m = 1000 kg
for a low speed test; V = 2.5 m/s
bumper maximum deflection = 4 cm = 0.04 m
First we determine the energy of the vehicle just prior to impact;
W_v = 1/2mv²
we substitute
W_v = 1/2 × 1000 × (2.5)²
W_v = 3125 J
now, the the effective design stiffness k will be:
at the impact point, energy of the vehicle converts to elastic potential energy of the bumper;
hence;
W_v = 1/2kx²
we substitute
3125 = 1/2 × k (0.04)²
3125 = 0.0008k
k = 3125 / 0.0008
k = 3906250 N/m
Therefore, the effective design stiffness required to limit the bumper maximum deflection during impact to 4 cm is 3906250 N/m
Answer : The final pressure of the system in atm is, 3.64 atm
Explanation :
Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.
or,
where,
= first pressure = 8.19 atm
= second pressure = 2.65 atm
= first volume = 2.14 L
= second volume = 9.84 L
= final pressure = ?
= final volume = 2.14 L + 9.84 L = 11.98 L
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
Therefore, the final pressure of the system in atm is, 3.64 atm
Answer:
421.83 m.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Height (h) = 396.9 m
Initial velocity (u) = 46.87 m/s
Horizontal distance (s) =...?
First, we shall determine the time taken for the ball to get to the ground.
This can be calculated by doing the following:
t = √(2h/g)
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Height (h) = 396.9 m
Time (t) =.?
t = √(2h/g)
t = √(2 x 396.9 / 9.8)
t = √81
t = 9 secs.
Therefore, it took 9 secs fir the ball to get to the ground.
Finally, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the ball as illustrated below:
Time (t) = 9 secs.
Initial velocity (u) = 46.87 m/s
Horizontal distance (s) =...?
s = ut
s = 46.87 x 9
s = 421.83 m
Therefore, the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is 421.83 m
