A train consists of a 50 Mg engine and three cars, each having a mass of 30 Mg . If it takes 75 s for the train to increase its

speed uniformly to 45 km/h , starting from rest, determine the force T, developed at the coupling between the engine E and the first car A. The wheels of the engine provide a resultant frictional tractive force F which gives the train forward motion, whereas the car wheels roll freely. Also, determine F acting on the engine wheels.

Answer:

T = 15 kN

F = 23.33 kN

Explanation:

Given the data in the question,

We apply the impulse momentum principle on the total system,

mv₁ + ∑\int\limits^{t2}_{t1} {Fx} \, dt = mv₂

we substitute

[50 + 3(30)]×10³ × 0 + FΔt = [50 + 3(30)]×10³ ×  ( 45 × 1000 / 3600 )  

F( 75 - 0 ) =  1.75 × 10⁶

The resultant frictional tractive force F is will then be;

F =  1.75 × 10⁶ / 75

F = 23333.33 N

F = 23.33 kN

Applying the impulse momentum principle on the three cars;

mv₁ + ∑\int\limits^{t2}_{t1} {Fx} \, dt = mv₂

[3(30)]×10³ × 0 + FΔt = [3(30)]×10³ ×  ( 45 × 1000 / 3600 )  

F(75-0) = 1.125 × 10⁶

The force T developed is then;

T =  1.125 × 10⁶ / 75

T = 15000 N

T = 15 kN

Affect the amount and rate the alcohol reaches the<br> bloodstream.
just olya [345]

Answer:

Answer to the following question is as follows;

Explanation:

The amount of alcohol consumption can be influenced by a variety of things, including food.

The proportion and pace at which alcohol reaches the circulation is affected by drinking rate, body mass, and the size of the beverage. Alcohol enters your system as soon as it reaches that first sip, as per the National Institute on Drug Abuse and Alcoholism. After 10 minutes, the results are noticeable.

It is said that Archimedes discovered his principle during a bath while thinking about how he could determine if King Hiero’s cr
arlik [135]

Answer: The crown is not made of pure gold.

Explanation:

Archimedes discovered that any solid, of any shape, when submerged in a liquid receives an upward force, equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid removed by the solid, which is equal to the solid volume.

So, if any body is weighed in air, the normal force will be equal to the gravity force (which we call weight) which can be expressed as follows:

Fg = m g = δ V g = 34.7 N

When submerged in water, the normal force is equal to the difference between the actual weight, and the upward force due to Archimedes' principle, called buoyant force, as follows:

Fn = Fg - Ep = δx. V. g - δH20 . V. g = 31.5 N

Dividing Fg between Fn, and simplifying common terms, we have:

δx / (δx - δh20) = 34.7 / 31.5 = 1.10

Solving for δx, we get the following value:

δx = 11,000 Kg/m3, less dense than pure gold, so we can conclude that the crown was not made of pure gold.

The alignment readings for the front of a vehicle are shown above. Camber and toe are within specification, caster is not. Techn
dlinn [17]

Answer:

B. B only

Given Information:

1. Camber and toe are within specification

2. Caster is not within specification

Technician A says that with the current settings, the left front tire tread may wear on the inside edge.

Technician B says that with the current settings, the vehicle may pull to the left

Explanation:

Lets discuss the effects of Camber, toe and caster misalignment

Effects of Camber and Toe misalignment:

Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the fron tires and is used to distribute load across the tread. Any misalignment causes uneven loading on the tires which results in tire wear on one edge.

The most common cause of tire wear on the inside edge is due to the camber misalignment which results in premature tire wear.

Another reason is of tire wear is vehicle’s toe. A slight misalignment of the toe reduces the life of the tire.

Since it is given that camber settings and toe settings are within specification therefore, tire tread wear on the inside edge cannot happen if camber and toe are within specification.

Technician A cannot be right.

Effects of Caster misalignment:

Whenever there is a misalignment of the castor then the vehicle will not be able to go in straight line rather it will pull to either left or right side. Caster misalignment also causes heavy or light steering depending upon the positive or negative misalignment of caster.

Since it is given that caster settings are not within specification therefore, the vehicle may pull to the left due to the caster misalignment.

Technician B must be right.

A plane, opaque, surface M has the following properties: gray, diffuse, absorptivity = 0.7, surface area = 0.5 m2 , temperature
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The rate of energy absorbed per unit time is 3500W.

Explanation:

From the question, we were given the following parameters;

Plane, opaque, gray, diffuse surface

â = 0.7

Surface area, A = 0.5m²

Incoming radiant energy, G = 10000w/m²

T = 500°C

Rate of energy absorbed is âAG;

âAG = 0.7 × 0.5 × 10000

âAG = 3500W.

The energy absorbed is measured in watts and denoted by the symbol W.
