A Porsche 944 Turbo has a rated engine power of 217hp . 30% of the power is lost in the drive train, and 70% reaches the wheels.

The total mass of the car and driver is 1520 kg, and two-thirds of the weight is over the drive wheels.
a) What is the maximum acceleration of the Porsche on a concrete surface where μs=1?

b) What is the speed of the Porsche at maximum power output?

c) If the Porsche accelerates at amax , how long does it take until it reaches the maximum power output?

Explanation:

(a) It is given that two-third of weight is over the drive wheels. So, mathematically, w = $\frac{2}{3}mg$ .

Hence, maximum force is expressed as follows.

$F_{max} = \mu_{s} \times w$

$m \times a_{max} = \mu_{s} (\frac{2}{3} mg)$

Hence, the maximum acceleration is calculated as follows.

$a_{max} = \frac{2}{3} \mu_{s} \times g$

= $\frac{2}{3} \times 1.00 \times 9.8 m/s^{2}$

= 6.53 $m/s^{2}$

Hence, the maximum acceleration of the Porsche on a concrete surface where μs = 1 is 6.53 $m/s^{2}$ .

(b) Since, 30% of the power is lost in the drive train. So, the new power is 70% of $P_{max}$ .

That is, new power = $0.7 \times P_{max}$

Now, the expression for power in terms of force and velocity is as follows.

P = $F_{max} \nu$

$0.7 P_{max} = ma_{max} \nu$

Therefore, speed of the Porsche at maximum power output is as follows.

$\nu = 0.7 \times \frac{P_{max}}{ma_{max}}$

= $0.7 \times \frac{217 hp \times \frac{746 W}{1 hp}}{1500 kg \times 6.53 m/s^{2}}$

= 11.568 m/s

= 11.57 m/s

Therefore, speed of the Porsche at maximum power output is 11.57 m/s.

(c) The time taken will be calculated as follows.

time = $\frac{\text{velocity}}{\text{acceleration}}$

= $\frac{11.57 m/s}{6.53 m/s^{2}}$

= 1.77 s

Therefore, the Porsche takes 1.77 sec until it reaches the maximum power output.

Charge is distributed uniformly on the surface of a large flat plate. the electric field 2 cm from the plate is 30 n/c. the elec

AysviL [449]

The electric field produced by a large flat plate with uniform charge density on its surface can be found by using Gauss law, and it is equal to
$E= \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$
where
$\sigma$ is the charge density
$\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity

We see that the intensity of the electric field does not depend on the distance from the plate. Therefore, the strenght of the electric field at 4 cm from the plate is equal to the strength of the electric field at 2 cm from the plate:
$E=30 N/C$

You are flying a hang glider at 14 mph in the northeast direction (45°). The wind is blowing at 4 mph from due north.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

<em>a) 17.05 mph</em>

<em>b) 54.7° northeast direction</em>

<em>c) 10.71 mph</em>

<em>The direction is -22.58° relative to the east.</em>

<em></em>

<em>To head northeast, you must either increase your gliding speed or increase your angle relative to the x-axis greater than 45°.</em>

Explanation:

The question is a little confusing but, I guess the correct question should be;

You are flying a hang glider at 14 mph in the northeast direction (45°). The wind is blowing at 4 mph due north.

a) What is your airspeed?

b) What angle (direction) are you flying?

c) The wind increases to 14 mph from north. Now what is your airspeed and what direction are you flying? If your destination is to the northeast, how would you change your speed or direction so you might make it there?

NB: The difference in the question and my suggestion is highlighted boldly.

Your speed = 14 mph

direction is 45° northeast

Th wind speed = 4 mph

direction is north

We resolve the your speed and the wind speed into the horizontal and vertical components

For vertical the component component

$V_{y}$ = 14(sin 45) + 4 = 9.89 + 4 = 13.89 mph

For the horizontal speed component

$V_{x}$ = 14(cos 45) + 0 = 9.89 + 0 = 9.89 mph

Resultant speed = $\sqrt{V^{2} _{y}+V^{2} _{x} }$

==> $\sqrt{13.89^{2} +9.89^{2} }$ = <em>17.05 mph This is your airspeed</em>

b) To get your direction, we use

tan ∅ = $V_{y}$ / $V_{x}$

tan ∅ = 13.89/9.89 = 1.413

∅ = $tan^{-1}$ (1.413) = <em>54.7° northeast direction</em>

c) If the wind increases to 14 mph from the north, then it means the wind blows due south. As before, only the vertical component is affected .

In this case,

$V_{y}$ = 14(sin 45) - 14 = 9.89 - 14 = -4.11 mph

Resultant speed = $\sqrt{V^{2} _{y}+V^{2} _{x} }$

==> $\sqrt{4.11^{2} +9.89^{2} }$ = <em>10.71 mph This is your airspeed</em>

Your direction will be,

tan ∅ = $V_{y}$ / $V_{x}$

tan ∅ = -4.11/9.89 = -0.416

∅ = $tan^{-1}$ (-0.416) =<em> -22.58° this is the angle you'll travel relative to the east.</em>

<em>To head northeast, you must either increase your gliding speed or increase your angle relative to the x-axis greater than 45°.</em>

You are standing at the midpoint between two speakers, a distance D away from each. The speakers are playing the exact same soun

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

wave length of sound waves = velocity / frequency

= 340 / 170

λ = 2 m.

When the position of man is exactly at the meddle point between the speakers , sound waves from the speakers reaching man are in same phases ( path difference is zero. ) so intensity of sound is maximum .

Now , the man starts moving towards one of the speakers , his distance from one speaker becomes closer than the other creating path difference for the sound waves reaching his ears.

If he walks a distance of .5 m towards one speaker , path difference created

= .5 x 2 = 1 m

So , path difference = λ /2 ,

there will be destructive interference so minimum sound will be heard there.

When he walks a distance of 1 m , path difference created = 2m

path difference = λ

so there is constructive interference and maximum sound will be heard there.

Again we he walks a distance of 1.5 m , path difference created = 3 m

path difference = 3 λ /2

So there will be destructive interference so minimum sound will be heard there.

In this way we see that man starts from a point of maximum sound intensity , reaches a point of minimum sound intensity , then reaches a point of maximum sound intensity . At last he reaches a position of minimum sound intensity.

For a long ideal solenoid having a circular cross-section, the magnetic field strength within the solenoid is given by the equat

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Radius of the solenoid is 0.93 meters.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The magnetic field strength within the solenoid is given by the equation,

$B(t)=5t\ T$ , t is time in seconds

$\dfrac{dB}{dt}=5\ T$

The induced electric field outside the solenoid is 1.1 V/m at a distance of 2.0 m from the axis of the solenoid, x = 2 m

The electric field due to changing magnetic field is given by :

$E(2\pi x)=\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

x is the distance from the axis of the solenoid

$E(2\pi x)=\pi r^2\dfrac{dB}{dt}$ , r is the radius of the solenoid

$r^2=\dfrac{2xE}{(dE/dt)}$

$r^2=\dfrac{2\times 2\times 1.1}{(5)}$

r = 0.93 meters

So, the radius of the solenoid is 0.93 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
