A parachute on a racing dragster opens and changes the speed of the car from 93 m/s to 45 m/s in a period of 5.3 seconds. What i

Answer:

-9.06\:\mathrm{m/s^2}

Explanation:

We can use the following kinematics equation to solve for acceleration:

v_f=v_f+at.

Solving for a:

45=93+5.3a,\\-48=5.3a,\\a\approx \boxed{-9.06\mathrm{m/s^2}}

*Note: Since acceleration is a vector quantity, it has both magnitude and direction. The negative sign implies that the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the racing dragster's movement.

A single crystal of a metal that has the FCC crystal structure is oriented such that a tensile stress is applied parallel to the
algol13

Stress required to cause slip on in the direction [ 1 1 0 ] is 7.154 MPa

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given -

Stress Direction, A = [1 0 0 ]

Slip plane = [ 1 1 1]

Normal to slip plane, B = [ 1 1 1 ]

Critical stress, Sc = 2.92 MPa

Let the direction of slip on = [ 1 1 0 ]

Let Ф be the angle between A and B

cos Ф = A.B/ |A| |B| = [ 1 0 0 ] [1 1 1] / √1 √3

cos Ф = 1/√3

σ = Sc / cosФ cosλ

For slip along [ 1 1 0 ]

cos λ = [ 1 1 0 ] [ 1 0 0 ] / √2 √1

cos λ = 1/√2

Therefore,

σ = 2.92 / 1/√3 1/√2

σ = √6 X 2.92 MPa = 2.45 X 2.92 = 7.154MPa

Therefore, stress required to cause slip on in the direction [ 1 1 0 ] is 7.154MPa

A ball is dropped from rest at height of 20m. If it loses 25% of its kinetic energy when it strikes the ground. What is the heig
victus00 [196]

Answer:

15 meters

Explanation:

The inicial energy of the ball is just potencial energy, and its value is:

E = m * g * h = m * g * 20,

where m is the ball mass, and g is the value of gravity.

In the moment that the ball strickes the ground, all potencial energy transformed into kinetic energy, and 25% of this energy is lost, so the total energy at this moment will be:

E' = 0.75 * E = 0.75 * m * g * 20 = 15*m*g

This kinetic energy will make the ball goes up again, and at the maximum height, all kinetic energy is transformed back into potencial energy.

So, as the mass and the gravity are constants, we can calculate the height the ball will reach:

E' = m*g*h = 15*m*g -> h = 15 meters
