When a car drives along a "washboard" road, the regular bumps cause the wheels to oscillate on the springs. (What actually oscil

lates is each axle assembly, comprising the axle and its two wheels.) Find the speed of my car at which this oscillation resonates, given the following information:
(a) When four 80-kg men climb into my car, the body sinks by a couple of centimeters. Use this to estimate the spring constant k of each of the four springs.
(b) If an axle assembly (axle plus two wheels) has total mass 50 kg, what is the natural frequency of the assembly oscillating on its two springs?
(c) If the bumps on a road are 80 cm apart, at about what speed would these oscillations go into resonance?

Answer:

a) 40,000 N/m

b) f = 6.37 Hz

c) v = 4,8 m/s

Explanation:

part a)

First in order to estimate the spring constant k, we need to know the expression or formula to use in this case:

k = ΔF / Δx

Where:

ΔF: force that the men puts in the car, in this case, the weight.

Δx: the sinking of the car, which is 2 cm or 0.02 m.

With this data, and knowing that there are four mens, replace the data in the above formula:

W = 80 * 10 = 800 N

This is the weight for 1 man, so the 4 men together would be:

W = 800 * 4 = 3200 N

So, replacing this data in the formula:

k = 3200 / 0.02 = 160,000 N/m

This means that one spring will be:

k' = 160,000 / 4 = 40,000 N/m

b) An axle and two wheels has a mass of 50 kg, so we can assume they have a parallel connection to the car. If this is true, then:

k^n = 2k

To get the frequency, we need to know the angular speed of the car with the following expression:

wo = √k^n / M

M: mass of the wheel and axle, which is 50 kg

k = 40,000 N/m

Replacing the data:

wo = √2 * 40,000 / 50 = 40 rad/s

And the frequency:

f = wo/2π

f = 40 / 2π = 6.37 Hz

c) finally for the speed, we have the time and the distance, so:

V = x * t

The only way to hit bumps at this frequency, is covering the gaps of bumping, about 6 times per second so:

x: distance of 80 cm or 0.8 m

V = 0.8 * 6 =

V = 4.8 m/s

A long, straight wire carrying a current of 3.45 A moves with a constant speed v to the right. A 5-turn circular coil of diamete

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

I = 69.3 μA

Explanation:

Current through the straight wire, I = 3.45 A

Number of turns, N = 5 turns

Diameter of the coil, D = 1.25 cm

Resistance of the coil, $R = 3.25 \mu ohms$

Distance of the wire from the center of the coil, d = 20 cm = 0.2 m

The magnetic field, B₁, when the wire is at a distance, d, from the center of the coil.

$B_{1} = \frac{\mu_{0}I }{2\pi d}$

$B_{1} = \frac{4\pi* 10^{-7} *3.45 }{2\pi *0.2}\\B_{1} =0.00000345 T$

Magnetic field B₂ when the wire is at a distance, 2d from the center of the coil

$B_{2} = \frac{\mu_{0}I }{2\pi(2d)) } \\B_{2} = \frac{\mu_{0}I }{4\pi d } \\$

$B_{2} = \frac{4\pi* 10^{-7} *3.45 }{2\pi *2*0.2}\\B_{2} = 0.000001725 T$

Change in the magnetic field, ΔB = B₂ - B₁ = 0.00001725 - 0.0000345

ΔB = -0.000001725

Induced current, $I = \frac{E}{R}$

E = -N (Δ∅)/Δt

Δ∅ = A ΔB

Area, A = πr²

diameter, d = 0.0125 m

Radius, r = 0.00625 m

A = π* 0.00625²

A = 0.0001227 m²

Δ∅ = -0.000001725 * 0.0001227

Δ∅ = -211.6575 * 10⁻¹²

E = -N (Δ∅)/Δt

$E = -5\frac{-211.6575 * 10^{-12} }{4.70} \\E = 225.17 * 10^{-12} V$

Resistance, R = 3.25 μ ohms = 3.25 * 10⁻⁶ ohms

I = E/R

$I = \frac{225.17 * 10^{-12} }{3.25 * 10^{-6} }$

I = 0.0000693 A

I = 69 .3 * 10⁻⁶A

I = 69.3 μA

A 6-in-wide polyamide F-1 flat belt is used to connect a 2-in-diameter pulley to drive a larger pulley with an angular velocity

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

a) Fc = 4.15 N, Fi = 435.65 N, (F1)a = 640 N, and F2 = 239.6 N,

b) Ha = 1863.75 N, nfs = 1 , length = 11.8 mm

Explanation:

Given that:

γ= 9.5 kN/m³ = 9500N/m3

b = 6 inches = 0.1524 m

t = 0.0013 mm

d = 2 inches = 0.0508 m

n = 1750 rpm

$H_{nom}=2hp=1491.4W$

L = 9 ft = 2.7432 m

Ks = 1.25

g = 9.81 m/s²

a)

$w=\gamma b t = 9500* 0.1524*0.0013=1.88N/m$

$V=\frac{\pi d n}{60} =\pi *0.0508*1750/60=4.65 m/s$

$F_c=\frac{wV^2}{g}=1.88*4.65^2/9.81=4.15N$

$(F_1)_a=bF_aC_pC_v=0.1524*6000*0.7*1=640N$

$T=\frac{H_{nom}n_dK_s}{2\pi n}= \frac{1491*1.25*1}{2*\pi*1750/60}=10.17Nm$

$F_2=(F_1)_a-\frac{2T}{D}= 640-\frac{2*10.17}{0.0508} =239.6N$

$F_i=\frac{(F_1)_a+F_2}{2} -F_c=435.65N$

b)

$H_a=1491*1.25=1863.75W$

$n_f_s=\frac{H_a}{H_{nom}K_S }=1$

dip = $\frac{L^2w}{8F_i} =\frac{2.7432*1.88}{435.65}=11.8mm$

Evaporation of sweat requires energy and thus take excess heat away from the body. Some of the water that you drink may eventual

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The amount of heat required is $H_t = 1.37 *10^{6} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of water is $m_w = 20 \ ounce = 20 * 28.3495 = 5.7 *10^2 g$

The temperature of the water before drinking is $T_w = 3.8 ^oC$

The temperature of the body is $T_b = 36.6^oC$

Generally the amount of heat required to move the water from its former temperature to the body temperature is

$H= m_w * c_w * \Delta T$

Here $c_w$ is the specific heat of water with value $c_w = 4.18 J/g^oC$

So

$H= 5.7 *10^2 * 4.18 * (36.6 - 3.8)$

=> $H= 7.8 *10^{4} \ J$

Generally the no of mole of sweat present mass of water is

$n = \frac{m_w}{Z_s}$

Here $Z_w$ is the molar mass of sweat with value

$Z_w = 18.015 g/mol$

=> $n = \frac{5.7 *10^2}{18.015}$

=> $n = 31.6 \ moles$

Generally the heat required to vaporize the number of moles of the sweat is mathematically represented as

$H_v = n * L_v$

Here $L_v$ is the latent heat of vaporization with value $L_v = 7 *10^{3} J/mol$

=> $H_v = 31.6 * 7 *10^{3}$

=> $H_v = 1.29 *10^{6} \ J$

Generally the overall amount of heat energy required is

$H_t = H + H_v$

=> $H_t = 7.8 *10^{4} + 1.29 *10^{6}$

=> $H_t = 1.37 *10^{6} \ J$

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10\,\text{m}10m10, start text, m, end text on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravi

Doss [256]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Basket ball is drop from height

H=10m

It is dropped on planet mass

And the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is given as

g= 3.7m/s²

Time taken for the ball to reach the ground

Initial velocity of the body is zero

u=0m/s

Using equation of motion: free fall

H = ut + ½gt²

10 = 0•t + ½ × 3.7 ×t²

10 = 0 + 1.85t²

10 = 1.85t²

Then, t² =10/1.85

t² = 5.405

t = √ 5.405

t = 2.325seconds

So the time the ball spend on the air before reaching the ground is 2.325 seconds

Answer:

E=0

Explanation:

Electric field due to each thin sheet of charge=\sigma/2\varepsilon

let us say the right plate has positive charge density \varepsilonand left sheet has a negative charge density -\varepsilon .

In the region between the plates,the electric field due to each plate is in same direction,

E=\sigma/2\varepsilon-(-\sigma/2\varepsilon)

E=\sigma/\varepsilon

in the region outside the plates, the field due to the plates is in opposite directions

E=-\sigma/2\varepsilon-(-\sigma/2\varepsilon)

E=-\sigma/2\varepsilon+\sigma/2\varepsilon

E=0
