Which trailer has more downward pressure where it attaches to the car?

Physics
1 answer:
serg [1.1K]4 days ago
4 0

The trailer that is loaded the most. The total weight does not matter; it is about how the load is distributed. For example, our 12,000 lb snow cat trailer has weight distribution that results in less than 100 lbs of tongue weight. Heavy tongue weight can create issues, as it can shift the weight off the front wheels of the towing vehicle, causing instability.

The amount of electric energy consumed by a 60.0-watt lightbulb for 1.00 minute could lift a
Sav [1095]

Answer:

Explanation:

For a 60W light bulb used for 1 minute:

P = 60 W

t = 1 minute = 60 seconds

This energy is capable of lifting an object weighing 10N.

W = 10N

This indicates conversion of electrical energy into potential energy.

Let's calculate the electrical energy:

Power describes the rate of work done.

Power = Work / time

Thus, work = power × time

Work = 60 × 60

Work = 3600 J

Potential energy calculation:

P.E = mgh

Where the weight is given by:

W = mg

Therefore, P.E = W·h

P.E = 10·h

Thus, we equate:

Potential energy = Electrical energy

P.E = Work

10·h = 3600

Dividing both sides by 10 gives:

h = 3600 / 10

h = 360m

The object can be lifted to a height of 360m.

Two frictionless lab carts start from rest and are pushed along a level surface by a constant force. Students measure the magnit
Yuliya22 [1153]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is higher for the first cart.

Explanation:

For the second cart, its mass is 2kg and the momentum measured is 10kg m/s, which leads to

(2kg)v = 10kg\: m/s

resulting in

v = 5m/s.

Consequently, the kinetic energy for the 3kg cart ends up as

K.E.  = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

= \dfrac{1}{2}(2kg)(5m/s)^2 =  25J

\boxed{K.E = 25J}

indicating it is less than that of the 1kg cart so it follows that the first cart possesses greater kinetic energy.

A boy on a bicycle approaches a brick wall as he sounds his horn at a frequency 400 hz. the sound he hears reflected back from t
Softa [913]
The question pertains to the change in frequency of a wave noted by an observer moving in relation to the source, indicating that the concept to invoke is "Doppler's effect."

The standard formula for the Doppler effect is:
f = (\frac{g + v_{r}}{g + v_{s}})f_{o} -- (A)

Note that we don’t need to be concerned with the signs here, as all entities are moving toward each other. If something was moving away, a negative sign would apply, but that is not relevant to this scenario.

Where,
g = Speed of sound = 340m/s.
v_{r} = Velocity of the observer relative to the medium =?.
v_{s} = Velocity of the source in relation to the medium = 0 m/s.
f_{o} =  Frequency emitted from the source = 400 Hz.
f = Frequency recognized by the observer = 408 Hz.

Substituting the given values into equation (A) will yield:

408 = ( \frac{340 + v_{r}}{340 + 0})*400

\frac{408}{400} = \frac{340 + v_{r}}{340}

Solving the above will result in,
v_{r} = 6.8 m/s

The correct result = 6.8m/s

A person who weighs 625 N is riding a 98-N mountain bike. Suppose that the entire weight of the rider and bike is supported equa
Keith_Richards [1021]

Answer:

A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Explanation:

Given data:

Person's weight = 625 N

Bike's weight = 98 N

Pressure per tire = 7.60 x 10⁵ Pa

Find: Contact area per tire

Total system weight = 625 + 98 = 723 N

Let F represent the force supported by each tire

2F = 723 N

Therefore, F = 361.5 N

Using the formula F = P × A

A = \dfrac{F}{P}

A = \dfrac{361.5}{7.60 \times 10^5}

Contact area, A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²

A 225 kg red bumper car is moving at 3.0 m/s. It hits a stationary 180 kg blue bumper car. The red and blue bumper cars combine
Sav [1095]

Given


m1(mass of red bumper): 225 Kg


m2 (mass of blue bumper): 180 Kg


m3(mass of green bumper): 150 Kg


v1 (velocity of red bumper): 3.0 m/s


v2 (final velocity of the combined bumpers):?




The principle of momentum conservation indicates that the momentum before impacts equals the momentum after impacts. This can be represented mathematically as:


Pa= Pb


Pa symbolizes the momentum prior to collision and Pb refers to momentum after collision.


Applying this principle to the aforementioned scenario results in:


Momentum pre-collision= momentum post-collision.


Momentum pre-collision = (m1+m2) x v1 =(225+180)x 3 = 1215 Kgm/s


Momentum post-collision = (m1+m2+m3) x v2 =(225+180+150)x v2

=555v2

We now know that Momentum pre-collision equals momentum post-collision.


<presulting in="">

1215 = 555 v2


v2 = 2.188 m/s


Consequently, the final velocity of the combined bumper cars is 2.188 m/s
