1. A 63 kg driver gets into an empty taptap to start the day's work. The springs compress 1.5x10-2 m. What is the effective spring constant of the spring system in the taptap?
2. After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 24 people including the driver, with an average mass of 68 kg per person. In addition, there are three 15-kg goats, five 3-kg chickens, and a total of 25 kg of bananas on their way to the market. Assume that the springs have somehow not yet compressed to their maximum amount. How much are the springs compressed?

Answers

Answer 1

(1) When the driver is at rest, the restoring force exerted by spring is equal in magnitude to the driver's weight, so that

F = s - mg = 0   ==>   s = mg = 617.4 N

If the spring is compressed 0.015 m, then the spring constant k is such that

617.4 N = k (0.015 m)   ==>   k = 41,160 N/m ≈ 41 kN/m

(2) The total mass of the passengers is

24 (68 kg) + 3 (15 kg) + 5 (3 kg) + 25 kg = 1717 kg

so that if everyone is at rest, the spring is compressed a distance x such that

kx = (1717 kg) g   ==>   x0.41 m

An object of mass 6.36 kg is released from rest and drops 2.05 m to the floor. The collision is completely inelastic. How much kinetic energy is lost during the collision

Answers

Answer:

Essentially all of it

Explanation:

The potential energy was

PE = mgh = 6.36(9.81)(2.05) = 127.90278 = 128 J

ignoring air resistance, this PE converts to KE

With no rebound final velocity is zero, so Kinetic energy lost = 128 J

The fastest possible rate of rotation of a planet is that for which the gravitational force on material at the equator just barely provides the centripetal force needed for the rotation. Calculate the minimum rotation period assuming a density of 3.70 g/cm3.

Answers

Answer:

m ω^2 R = centripetal force

G M m / R^2 = gravitational force

ω^2 = G M / R^3    for the forces to be equal

d (density) = M / V = M / (4/3 R^3) = 3/4 M / R^3

or M / R^3 = 4 d / 3

Then

ω^2 = G 4 d / 3

d = 3.7 g/cm^2 = 3700 kg/m*3    converting

ω^2 = 6.67E-11 * 3700 * 4 / 3 = 32.9E-8

ω = 5.74E-4

P = 1 / f = 2 pi / ω = 6.28 / 5.74E-4 = 1.09E4 sec

10900 / 3600 = 3.04 hrs    for the minimum rotation period

What are the three major types of severe weather? Describe at least two characteristics of each type

Answers

Answer:

High winds, hail, excessive precipitation, and wildfires are forms and effects of severe weather, as are thunderstorms, downbursts, tornadoes, waterspouts, tropical cyclones, and extratropical cyclones. Regional and seasonal severe weather phenomena include blizzards (snowstorms), ice storms, and duststorms.

Explanation:High winds-  wind speeds as low as 23 knots (43 km/h) may lead to power outages when tree branches fall and disrupt power lines. Once wind exceed 135 knots (250 km/h) within strong tropical cyclones and tornadoes, homes  completely collapse,  and significant damage is done to larger buildings. Total disruption occurs once wind exceeds 175 knots (324 km/h)

Tornado- Typically look like a narrow funnel reaching from the clouds to the ground. Their wind speed goes from 65 to 250 miles per hour.

"An extreme weather condition in which we face the high speed wind in combination with heavy snow."

As for any blizzard has the normal wind speed of about 40 mph, and the visibility range reduces to less then 500 ft.

A tightly sealed house has a large ceiling fan that blows air out of the house and into the attic. The owners turn the fan on and forget to open any windows or doors. What happens to the air pressure in the house after the fan has been on for a while, and does it become easier or harder for the fan to do its job

Answers

Answer:

Assuming the attic is ventilated to the open air the air pressure inside the house gets lower and the fan job becomes easier. It will speed up because while the pressure differential across the fan is increased, the mass of air being moved has decreased.

This can be verified by running a household vacuum cleaner in hose mode. With the hose open and air moving through it, the motor speed will be at a certain level producing a certain noise pitch . Placing your hand over the hose end will decrease the pressure in the hose, reduce the volume of air moving and you will hear an increase in motor pitch as it speeds up under lower load conditions.

The area inside the vacuum hose is akin to the inside of a well sealed house with an attic fan running.

In the physical sciences, pressure is compressive stress at quite a point within a confined fluid or the perpendicular force per unit area.

What is Pressure?

The force exerted perpendicularly to an object's surface per unit area across which that force is dispersed is termed as pressure. In relation to the surrounding pressure, gauge pressure is the pressure.

The air pressure within the house decreases and the fan's task gets simpler if the attic is aired to the outside air. It will increase because the amount of air being moved is much less, while the pressure difference across the fan is greater.

Running a home vacuum in hose mode will demonstrate this. The motor speed will be maintained at a set level, producing a specific noise pitch, with the duct open and air flowing through it. You will notice an increase in motor pitch when it speeds up under reduced load situations by placing your finger over the hose end, which will also lower the pressure in the hose and limit the amount of air moving.

True or False If the mass of the object increases, then the potential energy of the object decreases.​

Answers

Answer:

The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has depends on its height and mass. The heavier the object and the higher it is above the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it holds. Gravitational potential energy increases as weight and height increases.

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

It depends on where your reference frame for potential energy is chosen.

If a mass is above the reference origin and mass increases, potential energy will increase so the statement is FALSE

If the mass is at the reference origin and the mass increases, the potential energy stays constant at zero so the statement is FALSE

If the mass is below the reference origin and the mass increases, then the potential energy goes from a negative value to an even lower negative value so the statement in this case is TRUE

.
For how long is the balloon in the air?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The balloon would require a time of

t = d/v = 13.5/ (23.6cos38) = 0.7259...s

to travel the horizontal distance.

the vertical position relative to the throw point at that time is

h = 0 + (23.6sin38)(0.7259) + ½(-9.8)(0.7259²)

h = 7.9652...

so as long as the adjacent building is at least 8.0 m higher than the student position, the balloon is in the air for 0.726 s.

If the building is shorter than 8.0 m above the student, the balloon will land on the building roof and will be in the air for a longer period of time

Answers

The horizontal distance where the block hits the floor is 3.2 m.

The given parameters:

mass of the bullet, m₁ = 0.015 kgspeed of the bullet, u₁ = 500 m/smass of block wood, m₂ = 1.0 kgheight of the table, h = 0.92 m

The final velocity of the bullet-block system after the collision is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

[tex]m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = v(m_1 + m_2)\\\\0.015(500) + 1(0) =v(0.015 + 1)\\\\7.5 = 1.015v\\\\v = \frac{7.5}{1.015} \\\\v = 7.39 \ m/s[/tex]

The time taken for the bullet-block system to fall to the floor after collision is calculated as follows;

[tex]h = v_0_yt + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.92}{9.8} }\\\\t = 0.43 \ s[/tex]

A 0.50-kg block attached to an ideal spring with a spring constant of 80 N/m oscillates on a horizontal frictionless surface. The total mechanical energy is 25 J. The maximum speed of the block is:

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

easy way

when system is all kinetic energy, velocity is at a maximum

E = ½mv²

v = √(2E/m) = √(2(25)/0.5) = √100 = 10 m/s

harder way

ω = √(k/m) = √(80/0.5) = √160 rad/s

When the system is entirely spring potential, the amplitude A is

E = ½kA²

A = √(2E/k) = √(2(25)/80) = 0.790569... = 0.79 m

maximum velocity is ωΑ = 0.79√160 = 10 m/s

B) yes, it will speed it up at a rate of 2 m/s2. yes, it will speed it up at a rate of 4 m/s2. D) It cannot be determined without more information.​

Answers

Answer:

D) It cannot be determined without more information.​

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

Force and acceleration are also vectors.

Without knowing the directions of each, we cannot know if the mass has a speed (scalar value) change.

We can know that the mass will have a velocity change at the rate of 2 m/s² in the direction of the applied force.

If that force is applied in the direction of initial velocity, the velocity (and speed) will increase in magnitude in the same direction.

If that force is applied opposite of the initial velocity, the  the velocity (and speed) will decrease in magnitude in the same direction. If the acceleration lasts long enough, velocity will eventually become zero and then become negative. At the same time, speed will become zero, and then increase again as speed is the absolute value of the magnitude of velocity.

If the force is applied at any other angle, both the velocity and the speed will change in both magnitude and direction.

If the collision was completely elastic, what would be the velocities of the car and truck after the collision? c. In order to exert a force of only 3500N on the truck during the collision, how much time would the collision have to take?

Answers

(a) The final velocity of the two vehicles if the collision was inelastic is 1.1 m/s.

(b)  For the elastic collision, the final velocity of the car is 9.81 m/s backwards and the final velocity of the truck is 2.19 m/s forward.

(c) The time taken to exert the given force is 0.00625 m (s).

The given parameters;

Initial velocity of the car, u₁ = 12 m/sInitial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 0Mass of the car, = mMass of the truck, = 10m

(a) The final velocity of the two vehicles if the collision was inelastic is calculated as follows;

[tex]m_1 u_1 + m_2u_2 = v(m_1+ m_2)\\\\12m + 10m(0) = v(m + 10m)\\\\12m = v(11m)\\\\v = \frac{12m}{11m} \\\\v = 1.1 \ m/s[/tex]

(b) The final velocity of the two vehicles if the collision was elastic is calculated as follows;

[tex]m_1 u_1 + m_2u_2 = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2\\\\\12m \ + \ 10m(0) = mv_1 + 10mv_2\\\\12m = m(v_1 + 10v_2)\\\\12 = v_1 + 10 v_2\ \ - --(1)[/tex]

Apply one-directional velocity equation:

[tex]u_1 +v_1 = u_2 + v_2\\\\12 + v_1 = 0 + v_2\\\\12+ v_1 = v_2 \ \ --- (2)[/tex]

Substitute the value of [tex]v_2[/tex] into equation (1);

[tex]12 = v_1 + 10(12 + v_1)\\\\12= v_1 + 120 + 10v_1\\\\12- 120 = 11v_1\\\\-108 = 11v_1\\\\v_1 = \frac{-108}{11} \\\\v_1 = -9.81 \ m/s\\\\[/tex]

Solve for [tex]v_2[/tex];

[tex]v_2 = 12 + v_1\\\\v_2 = 12 - 9.81\\\\v_2 = 2.19 \ m/s[/tex]

Thus, for the elastic collision, the final velocity of the car is 9.81 m/s backwards and the final velocity of the truck is 2.19 m/s forward.

(c)

The change in the momentum of the truck is calculated as;

[tex]\Delta P = m_2(v_2 - u_2)\\\\\Delta P = 10m(2.19)\\\\\Delta P = 21.9m[/tex]

The time taken to exert the given force is calculated as follows;
