lyudmila [28]3 years ago

Answer:

The required acceleration is $a=1.1$ m/s²

Explanation:

Given

Force F = 250 N

Mass m = 221 kg

To determine

Acceleration a = ?

We know that acceleration is produced when a force is applied to a body.

The acceleration can be determined using the formula

$F = ma$

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

now substituting F = 250 , and m = 221 in the formula

$F = ma$

$250 = 221 (a)$

switch the equation

$221(a) = 250$

Divide both sides by 221

$\frac{221a}{221}=\frac{250}{221}$

simplify

$a=\frac{250}{221}$

$a=1.1$ m/s²

Therefore, the required acceleration is $a=1.1$ m/s²

Answer:

$W=2219pounds$

Explanation:

If the weight is a linear function of the amount of fuel, the following correlation is fulfilled :

$\frac{2153pounds-1999pounds}{46gallons-18gallons} = \frac{W-1999pounds}{58gallons-18galons}$

we solve the equation:

$W=2219pounds$

A helicopter carrying Dr. Evil takes off with a constant upward acceleration of 5.0 m/s2. Secret agent Austin Powers jumps on ju

denpristay [2]

Answer:

a) $h=250\ m$

b) $\Delta h=0.0835\ m$

Explanation:

Given:

upward acceleration of the helicopter, $a=5\ m.s^{-2}$

time after the takeoff after which the engine is shut off, $t_a=10\ s$

a)

<u>Maximum height reached by the helicopter:</u>

using the equation of motion,

$h=u.t+\frac{1}{2} a.t^2$

where:

u = initial velocity of the helicopter = 0 (took-off from ground)

t = time of observation

$h=0+0.5\times 5\times 10^2$

$h=250\ m$

b)

time after which Austin Powers deploys parachute(time of free fall), $t_f=7\ s$

acceleration after deploying the parachute, $a_p=2\ m.s^{-2}$

<u>height fallen freely by Austin:</u>

$h_f=u.t_f+\frac{1}{2} g.t_f^2$

where:

$u=$ initial velocity of fall at the top = 0 (begins from the max height where the system is momentarily at rest)

$t_f=$ time of free fall

$h_f=0+0.5\times 9.8\times 7^2$

$h_f=240.1\ m$

<u>Velocity just before opening the parachute:</u>

$v_f=u+g.t_f$

$v_f=0+9.8\times 7$

$v_f=68.6\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Time taken by the helicopter to fall:</u>

$h=u.t_h+\frac{1}{2} g.t_h^2$

where:

$u=$ initial velocity of the helicopter just before it begins falling freely = 0

$t_h=$ time taken by the helicopter to fall on ground

$h=$ height from where it falls = 250 m

now,

$250=0+0.5\times 9.8\times t_h^2$

$t_h=7.1429\ s$

From the above time 7 seconds are taken for free fall and the remaining time to fall with parachute.

<u>remaining time,</u>

$t'=t_h-t_f$

$t'=7.1428-7$

$t'=0.1428\ s$

<u>Now the height fallen in the remaining time using parachute:</u>

$h'=v_f.t'+\frac{1}{2} a_p.t'^2$

$h'=68.6\times 0.1428+0.5\times 2\times 0.1428^2$

$h'=9.8165\ m$

<u>Now the height of Austin above the ground when the helicopter crashed on the ground:</u>

$\Delta h=h-(h_f+h')$

$\Delta h=250-(240.1+9.8165)$

$\Delta h=0.0835\ m$

A 0.40 kg mass hangs on a spring with a spring constant of 12 N/m. The system oscillated with a constant amplitude of 12 cm. Wha

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.

Explanation:

The motion of the mass-spring system is represented by the following formula:

$x(t) = A\cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t + \phi)$

Where:

$x(t)$ - Position of the mass with respect to the equilibrium position, measured in centimeters.

$A$ - Amplitude of the mass-spring system, measured in centimeters.

$\omega$ - Angular frequency, measured in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$\phi$ - Phase, measured in radians.

The acceleration experimented by the mass is obtained by deriving the position equation twice:

$a (t) = -\omega^{2}\cdot A \cdot \cos (\omega\cdot t + \phi)$

Where the maximum acceleration of the system is represented by $\omega^{2}\cdot A$ .

The natural frequency of the mass-spring system is:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

Where:

$k$ - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

If $k = 12\,\frac{N}{m}$ and $m = 0.40\,kg$ , the natural frequency is:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{12\,\frac{N}{m} }{0.40\,kg} }$

$\omega \approx 5.477\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Lastly, the maximum acceleration of the system is:

$a_{max} = \left(5.477\,\frac{rad}{s})^{2}\cdot (12\,cm)$

$a_{max} = 359.970\,\frac{cm}{s^{2}}$

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.
