A contact force is a type of force which act on an object by coming in contact with the object. Examples of contact force that acts through a force field are: applied force, frictional force, air resistance force, tension, spring force, etc.
Examples of forces that act through a force field are gravitational force, electromagnetic force, the weak interaction and the strong interaction.
Answer: the effective design stiffness required to limit the bumper maximum deflection during impact to 4 cm is 3906250 N/m
Explanation:
Given that;
mass of vehicle m = 1000 kg
for a low speed test; V = 2.5 m/s
bumper maximum deflection = 4 cm = 0.04 m
First we determine the energy of the vehicle just prior to impact;
W_v = 1/2mv²
we substitute
W_v = 1/2 × 1000 × (2.5)²
W_v = 3125 J
now, the the effective design stiffness k will be:
at the impact point, energy of the vehicle converts to elastic potential energy of the bumper;
hence;
W_v = 1/2kx²
we substitute
3125 = 1/2 × k (0.04)²
3125 = 0.0008k
k = 3125 / 0.0008
k = 3906250 N/m
Therefore, the effective design stiffness required to limit the bumper maximum deflection during impact to 4 cm is 3906250 N/m
Answer:
The inlet velocity is 21.9 m/s.
The mass flow rate at reach exit is 1.7 kg/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass flow rate = 2 kg/s
Diameter of inlet pipe = 5.2 cm
Fifteen percent of the flow leaves through location (2) and the remainder leaves at (3)
The mass flow rate is
We need to calculate the mass flow rate at reach exit
Using formula of mass
We need to calculate the inlet velocity
Using formula of velocity
Put the value into the formula
Hence, The inlet velocity is 21.9 m/s.
The mass flow rate at reach exit is 1.7 kg/s.
Answer: The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be LESS THAN the distance between the front and back of his eye.
Explanation:
The human eye the front part of the eye is the CORNEA. This is the tough white transparent part of the eye that helps in the refraction of light rays. While the backside of the eye is the RETINA. This is the part of the eye when images are focused.
When a normal eye is at rest, parallel rays from a distant object are focused on the retina. The ability of the eye - lens to focus points at different distances on the retina is known as accomodation. The adjustment of the eye lens to focus objects of varying distances is brought about by the ciliary muscles. The have the ability to change the shape of the eye which leads to change in focal length.
When a person with normal vision looks at a distant object at infinity, the lens brings parallel rays to focus on the retina. Thus, the furthest point which the eye can see distinctly is called the far point of the eye and it's infinity for a normal eye. But Joe was able to focus his eye on the tree, meaning that the tree was within his near point. This is the nearest point at which an object is clearly seen. Therefore, when the effective focal length of the cornea-lens system changes, it changes the location of the image of any object in one's field of view.
