Brake system: The purpose of the brakes is stopping the vehicle in motion by converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into rotational frictional torque at the brake-shoes or the brake-pads. This energy then will change into heat. The hydraulic braking system, most commonly used, is a compact method of transmitting the driver’s foot pedal effort to the individual road-wheel brakes by conveying pressurized fluid from one position to another and then converting the fluid pressure into useful work at the wheels to apply the brakes and so stop the rotation of the wheels. The fluid in the hydraulic braking system is incompressible and has got a high boiling point. The braking system has five main components and they are as follows: 1.
In contrast, black sand is a regular magnetic solid. Surprisingly, both ferrofluid and black sand are made of magnetite! The difference in their behavior is due to size. Ferrofluid is made of tiny, nanometer-sized particles of coated magnetite suspended in liquid. When there’s no magnet around, ferrofluid acts like a liquid.
The value of the force constant for the spring is most nearly (A) 0.33 N/m (B) 0.66 N/m (C) 6.6 N/m (D) 33 N/m (E) 66 N/m 4. A block of weight W is pulled along a horizontal surface at constant speed v by a force F, which acts at an angle of with the horizontal, as shown above. The normal force exerted on the block by the surface has magnitude (A) W F cos (B) WFsin (C) W (D) W + Fsin (E) W + Fcos 5. When the frictionless system shown above is accelerated by an applied force of magnitude the tension in the string between the blocks is (A) 2F (B) F (C) F (D) F (E) F 6. A push broom of mass m is pushed across a rough horizontal floor by a force of magnitude T directed at angle as shown above.
These P waves are able to travel through both solid rock, such as granite mountains, and liquid material, such as volcanic magma or the water of the oceans. The slower wave through the body of rock is called the secondary or S wave. As an S wave propagates, it shears the rock sideways at right angles to the direction of travel. If a liquid is sheared sideways or twisted, it will not spring back, hence S waves cannot propagate in the liquid parts of the earth, such as oceans and lakes. The actual speed of P and S seismic waves depends on the density and elastic properties of the rocks and soil through which they pass.
When an object takes in energy the energy profound cannot be created or destroyed but is in fact a matter of state relating to the rest mass of the object and resulting in the energy then augmenting onto the object, the release of energy therefore being increased. Different forms of energy include heat, sound and light. Energy can be converted from one form to another, though. Mechanical energy, such as the kinetic energy of motion, can be converted to heat energy, for example in the heating of a car’s brakes when it slows down. Chemical energy in the gasoline of the car can be converted into both heat energy in the exhaust and heating the engine, and into mechanical energy to move the car.
Howard University Washington, D.C. Department of Mechanical Engineering “Strain Hardening “ Lab 2 By Theron Lewis For Professor H.A. Whitworth October 3rd, 2011 Table of Contents ABSTRACT Work hardening (or strain hardening) is the strengthening of a metal by plastic deformation. This phenomenon occurs because of the altering of the material’s crystal structure through dislocation movements. Work hardening is used extensively in metalworking, where one intentionally induces plastic deformation to increase strength and change its shape. These processes are also known as cold working.
If one object A were to exert a force upon object B then at the same time B would exert a force on A and the two forces are equal and opposite to each other, Force A = Force B and because of this it does not matter which force is known as the action and which is the reaction as both forces are equal. Newton’s third law can be seen everywhere. As a person walks they push against the floor and the floor pushes against the person. Similarly this can also be applied to the tires of a car that pushes against the road the while the road pushes back on the tires. In a hypothetical scenario where Newton’s third law doesn’t exist, if you were to push against the wall your hand would go straight though as if nothing were there.
A Brief Review of Newton's Laws of Motion Let's review certain basic concepts of motion, namely Newton's first two Laws of Motion, which are presumably as basic and fundamental as any natural law can be: (1) The Law of Inertia: A body which has no force acting on it will move with uniform motion (that is, with constant speed and direction). (2) The Force Law: If a force acts on a body, it will not move uniformly, but will be accelerated in the direction of the force at a rate proportional to the force, and inversely proportional to its inertia, or mass. Now, these two laws seem very simple and obvious, and perfectly reasonable and correct. So much so, that if we see an object which is moving uniformly, we presume that it must not have any force (or at least, any net force) acting on it; whereas if we see an object which is accelerating, we presume it must have some force acting on it, in the direction of its acceleration. The strange thing is, that it is not only very easy, but actually more normal than not, for Newton's Laws of Motion to be wrong.
The second part suffered critical errors due to improper data and the results are not significant or useful. Newton’s Second Law and the Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem Description of Experiment The purposes of this experiment are to measure the acceleration of a glider on an air track acted on by an unbalance force and compare this to the value predicted by Newton’s second law and to compare the amount of work performed on the glider to its change in kinetic energy. The theory behind the experiment is based on Newton’s second law that states an accelerating (a) object experiences a net force (F) that is directly proportional to its mass (m). F = m * a If that force causes an object’s displacement (d), then by definition a certain amount of work (W) has been performed. For motion in one dimension on an inclined plane the expressions reduces with Θ being the angle of the incline.
But from here you may wonder what terminal velocity is? The answer is, terminal velocity is the velocity of an object when the sum of its drag force equals the downward force of weight that is acting on the object and hence meaning the object has no resulting acceleration and is moving at a constant velocity. However through research what I found is that you cannot 100% reach the terminal velocity of an object, but only x%(where x is any number between 0 and 100) of an objects terminal velocity as terminal velocity is asymptotic. Though this information is true, we still refer to an object that is falling with constant motion as reaching its terminal velocity and thus say that any object can and does reach terminal velocity. The way the viscosity of a liquid affects terminal velocity refers to the second statement that an object does reach terminal velocity.
