Suppose that a car weighing 4000 pounds is supported by four shock absorbers Each shock absorber has a spring constant of 6500 l

bs/foot, so the effective spring constant for the system of 4 shock absorbers is 26000 lbs/foot. Assume no damping and determine the period of oscillation of the vertical motion of the car.
Required:
a. Assume no damping and determine the period of oscillation of the vertical motion of the car.
b. After 10 seconds the car body is 1/3 foot above its equilibrium position and at the high point in its cycle. What were the initial conditions?

Answer:

0.43622 seconds

0.9158 foot

-4.43 ffot/sec

Explanation:

we first find the period of oscillation

= 2π√w/gk

= 2π√4000/32x2600

= 2π√0.00481

= 2π0.0694

= 0.43622

b. we find the angular velocity

2π/T

= 2π/0.43622

= 14.41 rad/sec

we find displacement

rom the calculation in the attachment

Ф = -144.1

initial condition

1*cos(-144.1 rad)

= 0.9158 foot

initial velocity of the car

= (-1)(14.41)sin(ω(0)-144.1)

= -4.44 foot/sec

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the magnitude of the dri

nordsb [41]

Complete Question

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the drift velocity of the electrons. (The cross-sectional area of a 10-gauge wire is 5.261 mm2.) mm/s

Answer:

The drift velocity is $v = 0.0002808 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The current on the copper is $I = 20 \ A$

The cross-sectional area is $A = 5.261 \ mm^2 = 5.261 *10^{-6} \ m^2$

The number of copper atom in the wire is mathematically evaluated

$n = \frac{\rho * N_a}Z}$

Where $\rho$ is the density of copper with a value $\rho = 8.93 \ g/m^3$

$N_a$ is the Avogadro's number with a value $N_a = 6.02 *10^{23}\ atom/mol$

Z is the molar mass of copper with a value $Z = 63.55 \ g/mol$

So

$n = \frac{8.93 * 6.02 *10^{23}}{63.55}$

$n = 8.46 * 10^{28} \ atoms /m^3$

Given the 1 atom is equivalent to 1 free electron then the number of free electron is

$N = 8.46 * 10^{28} \ electrons$

The current through the wire is mathematically represented as

$I = N * e * v * A$

substituting values

$20 = 8.46 *10^{28} * (1.60*10^{-19}) * v * 5.261 *10^{-6}$

=> $v = 0.0002808 \ m/s$

You are sitting on a deck of your house surrounded by oak trees. You hear the sound of an acorn hitting the deck. You wonder if

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: 96N

Explanation:

To calculate the velocity of the impact On the persons head, we have

h = gt²/2

14 = 9.81t²/2

t² = 28/9.8

t² = 2.86

t = 1.69s

V = u + at

V = 0 + 9.81*1.69

V = 16.58m/s

a(average) = (v1² + v2²) /2Δy

a(average) = 16.58² + 0)/2 * 0.005

a(average) = 274.8964/0.01

a(average) = 27489.64m/s²

Using newton's second law of motion,

F(average) = m * a(average)

F(average) = 0.0035 * 27489.64

F(average) = 96.21N

Therefore the force needed by the acorn to do much damage starts from 96N

A meter stick A hurtles through space at a speed v = 0.25c relative to you, with its length aligned with the direction of motion

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

$L_0\approx1.0328\ m$

Explanation:

Given:

relativistic length of stick A, $L=1\ m$

relativistic velocity of stick A with respect to observer, $v=0.25c=7.5\times 10^{7}\ m.s^{-1}$

<em>Since the object is moving with a velocity comparable to the velocity of light with respect to the observer therefore the length will appear shorter according to the theory of relativity.</em>

<u> Mathematical expression of the theory of relativity for length contraction:</u>

$L=\frac{L_0}{\gamma}$

where:

L = relativistic length

$L_0=$ original length at rest

$\gamma =$ Lorentz factor $=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$

$\Rightarrow 1=\frac{L_0}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.25c)^2}{c^2} } }}$

$L_0=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.25c)^2}{c^2} } }$

$L_0\approx1.0328\ m$
