Hey! :giggle: Some people assume that a specific car model does at least $\mu_0=120$ km with $1$ Lt benzin. $10$ independent tests give the following results: $$104, \ 96, \ 80, \ 100, \ 108, \ 100, \ 112, \ 120, \ 130, \ 132$$ (a) Give the Null Hypothesis $H_0$ and the alternative...

Textbook solution: ##v## is the instantaneous velocity, $$P(t)=(M+b t) v$$ Then $$impulse = \Delta P = (M+b t) v = \int^{t}_{0} F dt'$$ Thus $$v=\frac{F t}{(M + bt)}$$ What I did instead was: Let ##M## be the instantaneous mass, and ##M_0## be the initial mass, then $$M=M_{0} + b t$$...

Going out to my car this morning, I noticed that frost preferentially formed on non-vertical windows. I can come up with three explanations 1) non-vertical windows are dirtier, providing more nucleation points 2) horizontal vs vertical boundary layer effect 3) gravity driven vertical diffusion...

t= v/a =25.8 m/s / -2.5 m/s^2 =10.1 s therefore, d= vi * t + 1/2at^2 = (25.8)(10.1) +1/2(-2.55)(10.1)^2 =131 m I got the first one right I think, but I don't know how to do b

Hello This is not a homework, this is my own experiment to understand how the motion works. Please, follow my question here below: I have a hot wheels race with a slope with 10 degrees where I use a small car which departs from the top to the bottom. I have taken 5 times the time to get an...

Hello Forum, I am not sure this question really belongs here but I was not sure where else to post...it is about science and health after all. I started thinking about this question seeing so many people have sadly become homeless and living in their cars because of the pandemic and job crisis...

W= Fd W= 3NX1.20m W= 3.6 J is the work done by the crane W=Fd W=0.6Nx1.20m W=0.72 J is the work done by the car I have no idea how to solve the c, I am thinking at first that the work done by the crane and the car are zero because cos 90 is zero and there are perpendicular to each other. I...

Hi everyone I've just completed a mechanical engineering degree, and one aspect of the classic 2DoF quarter car model that still bugs me is the representation of the tyre as a linear spring attached to the ground. Does anyone have any experience of modelling the system with the tyre spring...

I do curbside/drive-up pick-up service from various businesses. I order on their app. They pack it and when I arrive to the store, they put it in my trunk. No contact. I never have to roll down my window even. I let the groceries (non-refrigerated) or retail goods sit in the trunk for a...

I want to change the the old round 5000 series filament bulbs to led. I attached a picture of some I found on Ebay. I see some led bulbs seem to mention some thing about fan. One way would be cut hole in old glass bulb and glue led in with silicon. Could use glass jar and drill hole in cover...

Tesla’s Autopilot a ‘distant second’ to GM’s Super Cruise system in Consumer Reports testing I think this is very interesting because of Consumer Report's reason for their evaluation. The GM autopilot aggressively monitors the driver to make sure he/she is alert and paying attention. The GM...

I usually find new ideas being only useless gadgets. But this, I could go for it, so I'm promoting it. source: https://www.facebook.com/MarkRoberYouTube/videos/1254798328186209/

Can someone look at my solution to see if it is correct.

I'm a little confused about this question because I think the braking deceleration probably takes into account the braking system of the vehicle as well as the power of the motor. I don't understand how a car could actually brake without the "friction between the mechanical components of the...

Hi Please help me with part C. I have answered the question and have attached it for you to see.

So I tried to solve this in two methods, but I keep getting different results, and I don't know why.

I am looking for a passive way to convert a supply of hot air into warm pool water. My pool can be in the low 70s without heat. Looking to get a 10 degree lift in pool temp. Pool is in-ground and relatively small at 8,500 gal. Water flow rate through the radiators can be regulated by valves...

Do i use the equation above mentioned to solve it? If i do, am i correct to say that Vx = 90/3.6 cos 30 and Vy = 90/3.6 sin30?

so the question is this. 2 cars with the same mass hits each other at the speed of 30 miles. at which speed a car needs to hit a wall in order to get set same impect? i don't care what Will hurt the driver more. thanks!

Equation 1: Where t1=time spent on motorway Where t2=time spent on country roads t1+t2=4 Equation 2: Using distance = speed * time 200 = 70*t1+40*t2 Rearrange equation 1 in terms of t1; t1=4-t2 Substitute the rearranged form of equation 1 into equation 2: 200=70(4-t2)+40t2 200=280-70t2+40t2...

Question 1: So we are given three variables; Mass=90kg Angle to the vertical = 20 degrees Speed = 10 ms^-1 There is not enough information to rearrange the formulas for centripetal force or acceleration in terms of r to find the radius. However, I have a attached a free body diagram of a...

A car moving at constant speed is in uniform circular motion, thus having centripetal acceleration of ##a=\frac{v^2}{R}##. The force associated with this acceleration is known to be friction. But friction, in nature, appears as an opposition to the relative motion between two surfaces whether it...

http://mccabism.blogspot.com/2017/08/curved-flow-and-arrows-a3.html "The nose skirts on the Lotus 80 and Arrows A3 would have suffered from the fact that a Formula 1 car has to generate its downforce in a state of yaw. Thus, in a cornering condition, a car is subjected to a curved flow-field...

A truck passes a point A on a straight level road with a constant velocity of 10 m s -1. At the same instant, an automobile starts from rest at point A and travels in the same direction as the truck, with a constant acceleration of 1.6 m s -2. How long a time does the automobile take to pass...

I think that driving at 130-140 km/h a car could dissipate 5-10 kW of energy only because of aerodynamic drag. Why cars don't have a fan somewhere to exploit the aerodynamic drag? For example a Pelton turbine

when we have 0 acceleration(constant speed) like a car traveling at a constant speed, ƒnet=ma ƒnet=(mobject+mfriction).(aobject+afriction) let m object be 1500 kg. m friction be 10 kg a object be 0 a friction be 20m/s^2 so when we calculate fnet=-20*1600=-32 000 Newtons. which means wall applies...

At time t=0 , a car moving along the + x -axis passes through x=0 with a constant velocity of magnitude v0 . At some time later, t1 , it starts to slow down. The acceleration of the car as a function of time is given by: a(t)= 0 0≤t≤t1 -c(t−t1) t1<t2 where c is a positive constants in...

Below is my working out. If you could have a look at my answers and see if they are correct and then advice me on how to improve my solutions for Parts I and II, and how to answer F and G with the given information. Thanks in advance! Parts aand b are diagrams so please refer to the attached...

Could I please ask for any help with the following question: Here's my attempt: (i and j are unit vectors in the directions of east and north respectively) (apologies that LaTeX is simply not working for me, I'll label the angles in each case T and P as shown in my diagram) Let the...

A car starting from rest picks up at a uniform rate and passes three electric post in succession. The post are spaced 360 m apart along a straight rod. The car takes 10 seconds to travel from the first post to the 2nd post and tales 6 seconds to go from the 2nd post to the 3rd post. Determine...

I currently jack up the end of the ramps using the channel frame and a 3 1/2 ton jack, because of the height of the channel frame I have to have it sitting quite far back under the car for clearance when the ramp is lowered down to drive off. I have to push the jack a long way under the car to...

θ=90°= π /2 so the instantaneous angular velocity dθ/dt= lim∆ t -> 0 (θ(t + ∆ t)-θ(t))/(∆ t) When I calculate it out it is π /2 radians per second. Is this correct?

Hi guys, i hope i find the right Sub-Forum. Can you please tell me if i calculated it right. A car speed's up with 5 m/s² to a speed limit of 50Km/h. After it arrived the speedlimit it drives for 30s with the speed of 50km/h. After that it break with a negative acceleration 3.0m/s² to stop...

"A man of mass M stands on a railroad car which is rounding an unbanked turn of radius R at speed v. His center of mass is height L above the car, and his feet are distance d apart. The man is facing the direction of motion. How much weight is on each of his feet?" I came five equations, and...

1. When a car turns there is a centripetal force towards the centre. This centripetal force is labelled as a static frictional force. I don't understand where this static frictional force arises from. Friction is meant to oppose motion, but I don't see the motion that is parallel to the friction...

f=(m v^2)/r

I understand that the weight of the car does not change (assuming mass of the car stays the same) because of f=mg. But I am not so sure about of the aerodynamics of the car plays a role. Say, a faster car might have more air under their wheels and might exert less force on to the ground. Maybe a...

Car A has a dead battery and car B gives a jump to it. I connect the positive of battery B to the positive of battery A and the negative of battery B to the body of car A. 1. Am I essentially creating a separate circuit by choosing a different ground than that of battery A? How is the current...

So my result is 102hp, but it’s not correct.

A recent thread posed the question whether work is done by static friction in the case of an accelerating car. Before I had a chance to reply, the thread was closed on the grounds that the subject was "beaten to death". Undaunted, I am determined to deliver the coup de grâce here with a simple...

I tried this but I don't know if it makes sense: Average velocity from A to B = 22/2 = 11m/s Average velocity from B to C = 104/4 = 26m/s (26-11)/6 = 3.75m/s

I'm asking for clarification, but it's my understanding, that of the thread below, and my college physics book Paul A tipler, that when walking or driving a car, the force of friction from the ground does no work. This makes sense in a car becuase the engine/fuel makes the power, driving the...

I am no expert, so forgive me if I sound rather ignorant, but I'm curious about this: are typical automobile fuels like gasoline, diesel and ethanol more energetic than, specifically, *chemical* rocket fuels [like perhaps the types used in missiles, space-bound rockets and such] if measured by...

Summary:: We have to make a car which -Has to have a trigger mechanism -after 5s the car launches a projectile backwards to push the car forwards at least 6m -NO ELECTRICITY ALLOWED, no motor, timer, etc -weight limit of 1kg Here it goes, we have to create a car powered solely by gravitational...

Hey guys I'm currently working on a school physics project and I need some ideas for it. So basically the goal of the project is to create a vehicle that has to propel itself forward by firing a projectile backwards. The vehicle will be judged based on a scoring system that includes 3 criteria...
