Answer:

a) N = 343 [N]

Explanation:

We must remember Newton's third law, which tells us that the force acting on a body is equal to the normal reaction force of equal magnitude but acting in the opposite direction.

N=m*g

where:

m = mass = 35 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

N = 35*9.8\\N= 343 [N]

Extend the life of your __________ by avoiding fast starts, stops and sharp turns.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Tires.

Explanation:

There are the few steps which are discussed below should be taken to increase or extend the life of tires.

(1) Avoid fast starts: Fast start of the vehicle will increase the pressure on the tires due to the friction between the tires and the road will decrease the life of tires.

(2)  Avoid fast stop: Fast stop of the vehicle will also increase the pressure on the tires due to the friction between the tires and the road will decrease the life of tires.

(3) Avoid sharp turns: The alignment of the wheels and tires are in such a way that they work properly when vehicle is drive in a straight path but sharp turn will increase the uneven pressure on the tires will lead to decrease the life of tires.

Therefore, the life of tires can be extend by avoiding all the above mention actions such as fast stop, start and sharp turns.

A train is moving along a horizontal track. A pendulum suspended from the roof makes an angle of 4° with the vertical. If g=10m/
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Train accaleration = 0.70 m/s^2

Explanation:

We have a pendulum (presumably simple in nature) in an accelerating train. As the train accelerates, the pendulum is going move in the opposite direction due to inertia. The force which causes this movement has the same accaleration as that of the train. This is the basis for the problem.

Start by setting up a free body diagram of all the forces in play: The gravitational force on the pendulum (mg), the force caused by the pendulum's inertial resistance to the train(F_i), and the resulting force of tension caused by the other two forces (F_r).

Next, set up your sum of forces equations/relationships. Note that the sum of vertical forces (y-direction) balance out and equal 0. While the horizontal forces add up to the total mass of the pendulum times it's accaleration; which, again, equals the train's accaleration.

After doing this, I would isolate the resulting force in the sum of vertical forces, substitute it into the horizontal force equation, and solve for the acceleration. The problem should reduce to show that the acceleration is proportional to the gravity times the tangent of the angle it makes.

I've attached my work, comment with any questions.

Side note: If you take this end result and solve for the angle, you'll see that no matter how fast the train accelerates, the pendulum will never reach a full 90°!

A string is tied between two posts separated by 2.4 m. When the string is driven by an oscillator at frequency 567 Hz, 5 points
Alex787 [66]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

       Length (l) = 2.4 m

       Frequency (f) = 567 Hz

Formula to calculate the speed of a transverse wave is as follows.

                  f = \frac{5}{2l} \times v

Putting the gicven values into the above formula as follows.

                  f = \frac{5}{2l} \times v

                 567 Hz = \frac{5}{2 \times 2.4 m} \times v

                      v = 544.32 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that the speed (in m/s) of a transverse wave on this string is 544.32 m/s.

0.0884 moles of a diatomic gas
Sloan [31]

Answer:

W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)

Explanation:

First, we find the change in internal energy of the diatomic gas by using the following formula:

\Delta\ U = nC_{v}\Delta\ T

where,

ΔU = Change in internal energy of gas = ?

n = no. of moles of gas = 0.0884 mole

Cv = Molar Specific Heat at constant volume = 5R/2 (for diatomic gases)

Cv = 5(8.314 J/mol.K)/2 = 20.785 J/mol.K

ΔT = Rise in Temperature = 18.8 K

Therefore,

\Delta\ U = (0.0884\ moles)(20.785\ J/mol.K)(18.8\ K)\\\Delta\ U = 34.54\ J

Now, we can apply First Law of Thermodynamics as follows:

\Delta\ Q = \Delta\ U + W

where,

ΔQ = Heat flow = - 83.7 J (negative sign due to outflow)

W = Work done = ?

Therefore,

-83.7\ J = 34.54\ J + W\\W = -83.7\ J - 34.54\ J\\

<u>W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)</u>
