A road that rises 1 ft for every 100 ft traveled

Physics

1 answer:

Lana71 [14]2 years ago

6 0

Explanation:

6% grade

=> Rises 6 feet for every 100 feet traveled

This would mean that tanx = 6/100.

=> x = tan^-1(6/100) = 3.4°. (1d.p.)

Hence the road is inclined at an angle of 3.4° above the horizontal.

An object with mass 3.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring stiffness constant k = 270 N/m and is executing simple harmonic m

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Part a)

A = 0.066 m

Part b)

maximum speed = 0.58 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that angular frequency of spring block system is given as

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

here we know

m = 3.5 kg

k = 270 N/m

now we have

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{270}{3.5}}$

$\omega = 8.78 rad/s$

Part a)

Speed of SHM at distance x = 0.020 m from its equilibrium position is given as

$v = \omega \sqrt{A^2 - x^2}$

$0.55 = 8.78 \sqrt{A^2 - 0.020^2}$

$A = 0.066 m$

Part b)

Maximum speed of SHM at its mean position is given as

$v_{max} = A\omega$

$v_{max} = 0.066(8.78) = 0.58 m/s$
