A truck is traveling down a road with a 4-percent grade at a speed of 75 mi/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 22.

5 mi/h. An antiskid braking system limits the braking force to a value at which the wheels of the truck are just about to slide. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the road and the wheels is 0.60, determine the shortest time needed for the truck to slow down.

Answer:

3.964 s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

1 miles = 1.6 km = 1600 m.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

75 mph = 75 * 1600 / 3600 = 33.3 m/s

22.5 mph = 22.5 * 1600/3600 = 10 m/s

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

Friction is the product of coefficient and normal force, which equals to the gravity

$F_f = \mu N = \mu mg$

The deceleration caused by friction is friction divided by mass according to Newton 2nd law.

$a = F_f / m = \mu mg / m = \mu g = 0.6 *9.81 = 5.886 m/s^2$

So the time required to decelerate from 33.3 m/s to 10 m/s so the wheels don't slide, with the rate of 5.886 m/s2 is

$t = \frac{\Delta v}{a} = \frac{33.3 - 10}{5.886} = 3.964 s$

Technician a says that using a pressure transducer and lab scope is a similar process to using a vacuum gauge. technician b says

Phantasy [73]

Answer: Both Technician A and B

Explanation:

There is a similar process in using a pressure transducer and lab scope to using a vacuum gauge.

And also, the pressure transducer can be used to tie any issues to individual cylinders if paired with a second trace consisting of the ignition pattern. Therefore, both Technician A and B are correct.

Students use a stretched elastic band to launch carts of known mass horizontally on a track. The elastic bands exert a force F,

rodikova [14]

Answer:

the correct answer is E

A graph of the cart's maximum speed squared as a function of x^3

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

F = m a

force has the form

F = k x²

and acceleration is related to velocity

a = dv / dt

Let's use the chain rule or L'Hospital

a = dv /dx dx/dt

a = dv /dx v

let's substitute

k x² = m v dv / dx

k /m x² dx = v dv

we integrate

k /m x³ /3 = v² / 2

v² = (2k /3m) x³

This is the expression for the variation of the speed as a function of the position, to make a linear graph realism the changes of variable

y = v²

x´ = x³

y = (2k/3m) x´

if we graph y vs x 'we have a linear graph whose slope is

m = 2k / 3m

By reviewing the different answers, the correct answer is E

A firecracker breaks up into several pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The magnitude of the total momentum is 21.2 kg m/s and its direction is 39.5° from the x-axis.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The total momentum is calculated as the sum of the momenta of the pieces.

The momentum of each piece is calculated as follows:

p = m · v

Where:

p = momentum.

m = mass.

v = velocity.

The momentum is a vector. The 200 g-piece flies along the x-axis then, its momentum will be:

p = (m · v, 0)

p = (0.200 kg · 82.0 m/s, 0)

p = (16.4 kg m/s, 0)

The 300 g-piece flies along the y-axis. Its momentum vector will be:

p =(0, m · v)

p = (0, 0.300 kg · 45.0 m/s)

p = (0, 13.5 kg m/s)

The total momentum is the sum of each momentum:

Total momentum = (16.4 kg m/s, 0) + (0, 13.5 kg m/s)

Total momentum = (16.4 kg m/s + 0, 0 + 13.5 kg m/s)

Total momentum = (16.4 kg m/s, 13.5 kg m/s)

The magnitude of the total momentum is calculated as follows:

$|p| = \sqrt{(16.4 kgm/s)^2+(13.5 kg m/s)^2}= 21.2 kg m/s$

The direction of the momentum vector is calculated using trigonometry:

cos θ = px/p

Where px is the horizontal component of the total momentum and p is the magnitude of the total momentum.

cos θ = 16.4 kg m/s / 21.2 kg m/s

θ = 39.3 (39.5° if we do not round the magnitude of the total momentum)

Then, the magnitude of the total momentum is 21.2 kg m/s and its direction is 39.5° from the x-axis.

A satellite, orbiting the earth at the equator at an altitude of 400 km, has an antenna that can be modeled as a 1.76-m-long rod

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The inducerd emf is 1.08 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Altitude of the satellite, H = 400 km

Length of the antenna, l = 1.76 m

Magnetic field, B = $8.0\times 10^{- 5}\ T$

Now,

When a conducting rod moves in a uniform magnetic field linearly with velocity, v, then the potential difference due to its motion is given by:

$e = - l(vec{v}\times \vec{B})$

Here, velocity v is perpendicular to the rod

Thus

e = lvB (1)

For the orbital velocity of the satellite at an altitude, H:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{Gm_{E}}{R_{E}} + H}$

where

G = Gravitational constant

$m_{e} = 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg$ = mass of earth

$R_{E} = 6371\ km$ = radius of earth

$v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{6371\times 1000 + 400\times 1000} = 7670.018\ m/s$

Using this value value in eqn (1):

$e = 1.76\times 7670.018\times 8.0\times 10^{- 5} = 1.08\ V$

A torsional pendulum consists of a disk of mass 450 g and radius 3.5 cm, hanging from a wire. If the disk is given an initial an

Montano1993 [528]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion, starting from the definition of angular velocity in terms of frequency, to verify the angular displacement and its respective derivative, let's start:

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi (2.5)$

$\omega = 5\pi rad/s$

The angular displacement is given as the form:

$\theta (t) = \theta_0 cos(\omega t)$

In the equlibrium we have to $t=0, \theta(t) = \theta_0$ and in the given position we have to

$\theta(t) = \theta_0 cos(5\pi t)$

Derived the expression we will have the equivalent to angular velocity

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = 2.7rad/s$

Replacing,

$\theta_0(sin(5\pi t))5\pi = 2.7$

Finally

$\theta_0 = \frac{2.7}{5\pi}rad = 9.848\°$

Therefore the maximum angular displacement is 9.848°
