You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up a 13-m-hi

gh hill, then descends 20 m to the track's lowest point. You've determined that the spring can be compressed a maximum of 2.4 m and that a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 430 kg. For safety reasons, the spring constant should be 13 % larger than the minimum needed for the car to just make it over the top. Part A What spring constant should you specify

Answer:

22.15 N/m

Explanation:

As we know potential energy = m*g*h

Potential energy of spring = (1/2)kx^2

m*g*h = (1/2)kx^2

Substituting the given values, we get -

(400)*(9.8)*(10) = (0.5)*(k)*(2.0^2)

k = 39200/2.645

k = 19600 N/m

For safety reasons, this spring constant is increased by 13 % So the new spring constant is

k = 19600 * 1.13 = 22148 N/m = 22.15 N/m

What is the change in length of a 1400. m steel, (12x10^-6)/(C0) , pipe for a temperature change of 250.0 degrees Celsius? Remem

8090 [49]

Answer:

$\Delta L = 4.2 m$

Explanation:

As per the formula of thermal expansion we know that

$L = L_o(1 + \alpha\Delta T)$

so here we will have

$L_o = 1400 m$

$\alpha = 12 \times 10^{-6} per ^oC$

$\Delta T = 250 degree C$

so here change in the length of the rod is given as

$\Delta L = L - L_o$

$\Delta L = L_o \alpha \Delta T$

$\Delta L = 1400 (12 \times 10^{-6})(250)$

$\Delta L = 4.2 m$

Fellow student of mathematical bent tells you that the wave function of a traveling wave on a thin rope is y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[(

bezimeni [28]

Answer

given,

y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[( 7.02 rad/m )x+( 743 rad/s )t]

length of the rope = 1.33 m

mass of the rope = 3.31 g

comparing the given equation from the general wave equation

y(x,t)= A cos[k x+ω t]

A is amplitude

now on comparing

a) Amplitude = 2.20 mm

b) frequency =

$f = \dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}$

$f = \dfrac{743}{2\pi}$

f = 118.25 Hz

c) wavelength

$k= \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$\lambda= \dfrac{2\pi}{k}$

$\lambda= \dfrac{2\pi}{7.02}$

$\lambda= 0.895\ m$

d) speed

$v = \dfrac{\omega}{k}$

$v = \dfrac{743}{7.02}$

v = 105.84 m/s

e) direction of the motion will be in negative x-direction

f) tension

$T = \dfrac{v^2\ m}{L}$

$T = \dfrac{(105.84)^2\times 3.31 \times 10^{-3}}{1.33}$

T = 27.87 N

g) Power transmitted by the wave

$P = \dfrac{1}{2}m\ v \omega^2\ A^2$

$P = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.00331\times 105.84\times 743^2\ 0.0022^2$

P = 0.438 W

Two flywheels of negligible mass and different radii are bonded together and rotate about a common axis (see below). The smaller

jekas [21]

Answer:

$F_2 = 29.54 N$

Explanation:

As we know that the combination is maintained at rest position

So we will take net torque on the system to be ZERO

so we know that

$\tau = \vec r \times \vec F$

here we will have

$\vec r_1 \times F_1 = \vec r_2 \times F_2$

so we have

$13 \times 50 = 22 \times F_2$

so we have

$F_2 = \frac{13 \times 50}{22}$

$F_2 = 29.54 N$
