Concept explainers
A device constructed to throw various objects can impart up to 500 joules of kinetic energy to the object being thrown. For a given mass, there is a maximum velocity that the device can throw the object. This is represented in the following diagram, and it fits a power law model. Velocities above the line cannot be achieved by the device, velocities below the line can.
Write a MATLAB program that will accept a value of mass [kg] and desired velocity [m/s] from the user and classify them as “Possible” or “Not Possible.” Three points on the line are labeled on the diagram. You must use polyfit to determine the equation of the line, and then use these values to do the classification.

The mass of the car is m, its drag resistance is Cd, the rolling resistance of the tires is pr. Choose any car that you'd like to analyze and obtain its data (cite your source). Look up typical values of rolling resistance. For the MATLAB portions, explore these questions for different values of mass of the car (which would depend on the number of passengers and luggage in the car) and the rolling resistance (which would depend on the inflation pressure of the tires) (a) Determine the differential equation if the car is traveling along a flat road.

While gravity is pulling the object down, a buoyancy force of times the weight of the object is pushing the object up (weight = mg). If we assume that water 40 resistance exerts a force on the object that is proportional to the velocity of the object, with proportionality constant 10 N-sec/m, find the equation of motion of the object. After how many seconds will the velocity of the object be 90 m/sec? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/ sec2. Find the equation of motion of the object. X(t) = %3Darrow_forward
- Learning Goal: To understand the concept of moment of a force and how to calculate it using a scalar formulation. The magnitude of the moment of a force with a magnitude F around a point O is defined as follows:Mo = Fdwhere d is the force's moment arm. The moment arm is the perpendicular distance from the axis at point O to the force's line of action. Figure F₁ 1 of 2 Part A A stool at a restaurant is anchored to the floor. When a customer is in the process of sitting down, a horizontal force with magnitude F₁ is exerted at the top of the stool support as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) When the customer is seated, a vertical force with magnitude F2 is exerted on the stool support. If the maximum moment magnitude that the stool support can sustain about point A is M₁ = 140 lb-ft, what is the maximum height do that the stool can have if the magnitudes of the two forces are F₁ = 65.0 lb and F₂ = 140 lb ?
