Concept explainers
Force on a building A large building shaped like a box is 50 m high with a face that is 80 m wide. A strong wind blows directly at the face of the building, exerting a pressure of 150 N/m2 at the ground and increasing with height according to P(y) = 150 + 2y, where y is the height above the ground. Calculate the total force on the building, which is a measure of the resistance that must be included in the design of the building.

- Number 6arrow_forwardTruo or False?arrow_forwardYou car is moving along in cruise control at a constant speed of 88.3 ft/s (about 60 mi/hr). A text message appears on your phone and you look down to read it. When you look back up at the road, you see a car at a complete stop in your lane 156 ft ahead of you. It takes 0.39 s for you to react and apply the brakes. When the brakes are applied your car experiences an acceleration of -32.3 ft/s2. Fortunately, you are able to avoid hitting the other car. What is the distance between the two cars when you come to a complete stop? (0.9 ft).arrow_forward
- The braking distance d, in meters, of a vehicle traveling at a velocity v, in meters per second, is given by the formula d = 2ug* is the coefficient of friction and g is the acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, where gx9.8 m/s. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) Determine the braking distance of a car traveling at 55 km/hr on dry pavement (u = 0.80). (Be sure to convert the speed to meters per second.) The braking distance is about meters. (Simplify your answer. Round to the nearest integer as needed.) (b) Determine the braking distance of a car traveling at 63 mi/hr on wet pavement (u = 0.45). Give the final answer in feet. The braking distance is about feet. (Round to the nearest ten as needed.)arrow_forwardThe potential difference (V) across a capacitor that is discharging changes with time (t) according to the equation: V= Vo et/(CR) where Vo - initial potential difference (in V) R - resistance of the circuit (in 2) C- capacitance of the capacitor (in F) A capacitor of 1.0 x 10-3 F discharges through a resistor of 2.2 x 104 Q. The initial potential difference is 15 V. Plot a suitable graph to find the time taken for the potential difference to fall to 3.0 V. Use the axes provided and label the graph fully.arrow_forwardFinal Answer must be whole number or decimal number only!!!arrow_forward
- Newton’s law of momentum says that the force acting on a body is equal to its mass times acceleration. An object falling in the earth’s atmosphere is subjected to the force of gravity and the friction of air. Assuming that the force due to friction is proportional to the velocity of the object the equation governing its motion is( attached photo).arrow_forwardThe trough in the figure below has width w = 5 ft, length L = D (Click on the graph for a larger version.) 19 ft and height h = 8 ft.
