A cleaver physics professor wants to create a situation where a block starts from rest at the top of a 31.0° inclined plane and

encounters a spring at the bottom of the incline. The spring has a constant 3.4 kN/m and the block's mass is 33.0 kg. How far does the block travel before hitting the spring, if the spring was compressed 37 cm in it's initial collision?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the length of inclined plane be L .

work done by gravity on the block

= force x length of path

= mg sinθ x L , m is mass of the block , θ is inclination of path

This in converted into potential energy of compressed spring

1/2 k x² = mgL sin31 , k is force constant . x is compression

.5 x 3400 x .37² = 33 x9.8 x sin31 L

L = 1.4

Length of incline = 1.4 m .

6m at 0.9 radian means 6m at $51.57^0$

Since positive angles are counter clockwise

6m at $51.57^0$ can be written as 6*cos $51.57^0$ i+6*sin $51.57^0$ j = 3.73i+4.70j

5m at $-75^0$ can be written as 5*cos $(-75)^0$ i+5*sin $(-75)^0$ j = 1.294i-4.83j

4m at 1.2 radian means 4m at $68.75^0$

4m at $68.75^0$ can be written as 4*cos $68.75^0$ i+4*sin $68.75^0$ j = 1.45i+3.73j

6m at $-210^0$ can be written as 6*cos $(-210)^0$ i+6*sin $(-210)^0$ j = -5.20i-3j

a) So sum of the vector = 1.274i+0.6j

b) Magnitude = $\sqrt{1.274^2+0.6^2} = 1.98 m$

c) Angle, $tan\theta = \frac{0.6}{1.274} \\ \\ \theta = 25.22^0$

A professor's office door is 0.99 m wide, 2.2 m high, 4.2 cm thick; has a mass of 27 kg, and pivots on frictionless hinges. A "d

ANEK [815]

Answer:

$I=8.8209\ kg.m^2$

$\alpha=0.6348\ rad.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

Given:

width of door, $w=0.99\ m$

height of the door, $h=2.2\ m$

thickness of the door, $t=4.2\ cm$

mass of the door, $m=27\ kg$

torque on the door, $\tau=5.6\ N.m$

<em>∵Since the thickness of the door is very less as compared to its other dimensions, therefore we treat it as a rectangular sheet.</em>

For a rectangular sheet we have the mass moment of inertia inertia as:

$I=\frac{1}{3} m.w^2$

$I=\frac{1}{3}\times 27\times 0.99^2$

$I=8.8209\ kg.m^2$

We have a relation between mass moment of inertia, torque and angular acceleration as:

$\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha=\frac{5.6}{8.8209}$

$\alpha=0.6348\ rad.s^{-2}$

An engineer uses aluminum to build an airplane rather than composite materials that are lighter and stronger. He does this becau

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

choosing a material that will show warning before it fails

Explanation:

According to my research on different architectural engineering techniques, I can say that based on the information provided within the question this is an example of choosing a material that will show warning before it fails. By choosing aluminum he can detect certain failures a long time before it actually happens since aluminum shows signs of wear and tear and doesn't just break immediately.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

The cheetah is considered the fastest running animal in the world. Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 21.7 m/s in 2.50 s and

viktelen [127]

Answer:

1) 64.2 mi/h

2) 3.31 seconds

3) 47.5 m

4) 5.26 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2.5 s

u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s

v = Final velocity = 21.7 m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

1) Top speed = 28.7 m/s

1 mile = 1609.344 m

$1\ m=\frac{1}{1609.344}\ miles$

1 hour = 60×60 seconds

$1\ s=\frac{1}{3600}\ hours$

$28.7\ m/s=\frac{\frac{28.7}{1609.344}}{\frac{1}{3600}}=64.2\ mi/h$

Top speed of the cheetah is 64.2 mi/h

Equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{21.7-0}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow a=8.68\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of the cheetah is 8.68 m/s²

2)

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{28.7-0}{8.68}\\\Rightarrow t=3.31\ s$

It takes a cheetah 3.31 seconds to reach its top speed.

3)

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{28.7^2-0^2}{2\times 8.68}\\\Rightarrow s=47.5\ m$

It travels 47.5 m in that time

4) When s = 120 m

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 120=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 8.68\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{120\times 2}{8.68}}\\\Rightarrow t=5.26\ s$

The time it takes the cheetah to reach a rabbit is 120 m is 5.26 seconds

a child hits a ball with a force of 350 N. (a) If the ball and bat are in contact for 0.12 is, what impulse does the ball receiv

Lina20 [59]

Explanation:

Given that,

Force with which a child hits a ball is 350 N

Time of contact is 0.12 s

We need to find the impulse received by the ball. The impulse delivered is given by :

$J=F\times t\\\\J=350\times 0.12\\\\J=42\ N-m$

So, the impulse is 42 N-m..

We know that he change in momentum is also equal to the impulse delivered.

So, impulse = 42 N-m and change in momentum =42 N-m.
