Answer:

v = 9.34 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between crests, \lambda=14\ m

The vertical distance from trough to crest = 3.6 m

Time taken, t = 1.5 s

The amplitude of wave = vertical distance from trough to crest /2

= 3.6/2

= 1.8 m

The speed of the wave is given by :

v=f\times \lambda\\\\=\dfrac{\lambda}{T}\\\\=\dfrac{14}{1.5}\\\\=9.34\ m/s

So, the speed of the wave is 9.34 m/s.

A​ heavy-duty shock absorber is compressed 4 cm from its equilibrium position by a mass of 700nbspkg. How much work is required
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A mass of 700 kg will exert a force of

700 x 9.8

= 6860 N.

Amount of compression x = 4 cm

= 4 x 10⁻² m

Force constant K = force of compression / compression

= 6860 / 4 x 10⁻²

= 1715 x 10² Nm⁻¹.

Let us take compression of r at any moment

Restoring force by spring

= k r

Force required to compress = kr

Let it is compressed  by small length dr during which force will remain constant.

Work done

dW =  Force x displacement

= -kr -dr

= kr dr

Work done to compress by length d

for it r ranges from 0 to -d

Integrating on both sides

W  = \int\limits^{-4}_0 {kr} \, dr

= [ kr²/2]₀^-4

= 1/2 kX16X10⁻⁴

= .5 x 1715 x 10² x 16 x 10⁻⁴

= 137.20 J

What does a worm and wheel mechanism do to torque and speed​
sergejj [24]

Answer:Explanation:

Image result for what does a worm and wheel mechanism do to torque and speed​

Like other gear arrangements, a worm drive can reduce rotational speed or transmit higher torque. ... Each full 360 degree turn of a single start worm advances the gear by one tooth. For a multi start worm the gear reduction equals the number of teeth on the gear divided by the number of starts on the worm.

I need help with questions b and d, that’s all.<br><br> Thank you.
Mkey [24]

b).  The power depends on the RATE at which work is done.  

Power = (Work or Energy) / (time)

So to calculate it, you have to know how much work is done AND how much time that takes.

In part (a), you calculated the amount of work it takes to lift the car from the ground to Point-A.  But the question doesn't tell us anywhere how much time that takes.  So there's NO WAY to calculate the power needed to do it.

The more power is used, the faster the car is lifted.  The less power is used, the slower the car creeps up the first hill.  If the people in the car have a lot of time to sit and wait, the car can be dragged from the ground up to Point-A with a very very very small power ... you could do it with a hamster on a treadmill.  That would just take a long time, but it could be done if the power is small enough.

Without knowing the time, we can't calculate the power.

...

d).  Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed squared)

On the way up, the car stops when it reaches point-A.  

On the way down, the car leaves point-A from "rest".

WHILE it's at point-A, it has <u><em>no speed</em></u>.  So it has no (<em>zero</em>) kinetic energy.
