Answer:

Velocity of the car at the bottom of the slope: approximately 20.3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

It would take approximately 3.9\; \rm s for the car to travel from the top of the slope to the bottom.

Explanation:

The time of the travel needs to be found. Hence, make use of the SUVAT equation that does not include time.

  • Let v denote the final velocity of the car.
  • Let u denote the initial velocity of the car.
  • Let a denote the acceleration of the car.
  • Let x denote the distance that this car travelled.

v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a\cdot x.

Given:

  • u = 3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.
  • a = 4.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.
  • x = 45\; \rm m.

Rearrange the equation v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a\cdot x and solve for v:

\begin{aligned}v &= \sqrt{2\, a \cdot x + u^2} \\ &= \sqrt{2 \times 4.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \times 45\; \rm m + \left(3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2}} \\ &\approx 20.3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.

Calculate the time required for reaching this speed from u = 3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} at a = 4.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}:

\begin{aligned}t &= \frac{v - u}{a} \\ &\approx \frac{20.3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} - 3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}}{4.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} \approx 3.9\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.

inysia [295]

Answer:

a) True. There is dependence on the radius and moment of inertia, no data is given to calculate the moment of inertia

c) True. Information is missing to perform the calculation

Explanation:

Let's consider solving this exercise before seeing the final statements.

We use Newton's second law Rotational

      τ = I α

     T r = I α

     T gR = I α

     Alf = T R / I (1)

     T = α I / R

Now let's use Newton's second law in the mass that descends

     W- T = m a

     a = (m g -T) / m

The two accelerations need related

     a = R α

    α = a / R

    a = (m g - α I / R) / m

    R α = g - α I /m R

    α (R + I / mR) = g

    α = g / R (1 + I / mR²)

We can see that the angular acceleration depends on the radius and the moments of inertia of the steering wheels, the mass is constant

Let's review the claims

a) True. There is dependence on the radius and moment of inertia, no data is given to calculate the moment of inertia

b) False. Missing data for calculation

c) True. Information is missing to perform the calculation

d) False. There is a dependency if the radius and moment of inertia increases angular acceleration decreases

A mechanical wave starts when matter is disturbed by a source of ______.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

MATERIAL MEDIUM

Explanation:

Wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfer energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. The two forms of wave are the mechanical wave and the electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical wave is a wave with requires MATERIAL MEDIUM for its propagation. This means that before wave can be propagated at times, material medium is needed e.g a ripple tank. A ripple tank is a mechanical device that generates waves using an instrument called stroboscope attached to it. This kind of wave requires an external source before it can propagate compared to electromagnetic waves that does not require material medium for its propagation.
