The stopping distances associated with slower speeds approximate the forward visibilities provided by low beam lights. However,

the illumination provided by low beam lights, about 150 feet, does not provide enough visibility in high speed driving situations where stopping distances are two or more times longer than the illumination distance provided by low beam lights. a. True b. False

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Illumination distance is the distance, up to which the light of the vehicle can reach. Hence, it is a maximum distance from the, that driver can see.

Stopping distance is the minimum distance required by the car to stop after brakes are applied.

So, in order to avoid any accident the illumination distance must be greater than the stopping distance. So, the driver can stop the vehicle in time, when he sees something in front of it.

Since, the stopping distance in this case is two or three times longer than illumination distance. Therefore, low beam light does not provide enough visibility in high speed driving situations.

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>a. True</u>

The angular momentum of a flywheel having a rotational inertia of 0.140 kg ·m2 about its central axis decreases from 3.00 to 0.8
Rasek [7]

Answer

given,

I = 0.140 kg ·m²

decrease from 3.00 to 0.800 kg ·m²/s in 1.50 s.

a) \tau = \dfrac{\Delta L}{\Delta t}

   \tau = \dfrac{0.8-3}{1.5}

        τ = -1.467 N m

b) angle at which fly wheel will turn

   \theta= \omega t +\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

   \theta= \dfrac{L}{I} t +\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\tau}{I}t^2

   \theta= \dfrac{3}{0.14}\times 1.5+\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{-1.467}{0.14}\times 1.5^2

        θ = 20.35 rad

c) work done on the wheel

     W = τ x θ

     W = -1.467 x 20.35 rad

    W = -29.86 J

d) average power of wheel

    P_{av} =-\dfrac{W}{t}

    P_{av} =-\dfrac{(-29.86)}{1.5}

     P_{av} =19.91\ W

A motorcycle, which has an initial linear speed of 9.7 m/s, decelerates to a speed of 4.0 m/s in 4.4 s. Each wheel has a radius
Morgarella [4.7K]

Hi there!

We can begin by solving for the linear acceleration as we are given sufficient values to do so.

We can use the following equation:

vf = vi + at

Plug in given values:

4 = 9.7 + 4.4a

Solve for a:

a = -1.295 m/s²

We can use the following equation to convert from linear to angular acceleration:

a = αr

a/r = α

Thus:

-1.295/0.61 = -2.124 rad/sec² ⇒ 2.124 rad/sec² since counterclockwise is positive.

Now, we can find the angular displacement using the following:

θ = ωit + 1/2αt²

We must convert the initial velocity of the tire (9.7 m/s) to angular velocity:

v = ωr

v/r = ω

9.7/0.61 = 15.9 rad/sec

Plug into the equation:

θ = 15.9(4.4) + 1/2(2.124)(4.4²) = 20.56 rad

Aleks04 [339]
A futuristic design for a car is to have a large solid disk-shaped flywheel within the car storing kinetic energy. The uniform flywheel has mass 370 kg with a radius of 0.500 m and can rotate up to 320 rev/s. Assuming all of this stored kinetic energy could be transferred to the linear velocity of the 3500-kg car, find the maximum attainable speed of the car.

Calculate the gravitational potential energy is a bicycle of mass 20kg and its rider of mass 50kg cycle to the top of a hill 120
Travka [436]

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy can be calculated with the following formula:

mgh

Where m is mass, g is Gravitational Field Strength, and h is height. GFS on Earth is always 9.81, the combined mass of the cyclist and the bicycle is 70, and the height is 120. Multiplying these values together, we get:

82,404J.
