To cut down on injuries, a highway guardrail is designed to be moved a maximum of 0.05 meters when struck by a car. What is the

value of the force constant of the material in the guardrail if it is to withstand the impact of a 1250-kg car traveling at 4.16 m/s ?

Answer:

216.32kN

Explanation:

Force can be expressed according to the formula;

Force = mass ×acceleration

Given

Mass = 1250kg

Velocity = 4.16m/s

Distance = 0.05m

We can get the acceleration first using the equation of motion

v² = u²+2as

4.16² = 0²+2a(0.05)

17.3056 = 0.1a

a = 17.3056/0.1

a = 173.056m/s²

Get the force required

Force = 1250×173.056

Force = 216,320N

Force = 216.32kN

Hence the force constant of the material is 216.32kN

[7 pts] 1. Suppose that a car starts from rest, its engine providing an acceleration of 4 ft/s2 while air resistance provides 0.
kumpel [21]

Answer:

a) Initial Value Problem

dv/dt = 4 - 0.1v

v(0) = 0

b) solution to the IVP

v(t) = 40(1 - e^(-t/10))

c) Limiting velocity

Vo = 40 ft/s

Position of the car after 12 hours

X = 14,390 ft

Which term describes the time it takes for an object to complete one full cycle of motion on a spring?
Sav [38]

The term period (symbol: T) describes the time it takes for an object to complete one full cycle of motion on a spring.

The formula for time is: T  = 1 / f , where f is the frequency  , f= c / λ = wave speed c (m/s) / wavelength λ (m)..

The formula describes that as the frequency of a wave increases, the time period of the wave decreases.
