Mechanics

Mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the interactions of objects and forces in the observable world. Questions asking about projectile motion, conservation of energy, and calculus based mechanics are perfect for this topic, but questions about repairs that a mechanic would do belong in our vehicles categories.

How long does it take to get an mph degree?

For working professionals who need to obtain their master's of public health quickly, be aware that many universities are now beginning to offer one year, accelerated MPH programs. These new master's in public health programs are designed for highly motivated health professionals who want to enhance their career prospects quickly. Typically, the curriculum is similar to a regular two-year program, but simply at a faster pace and includes summers. Hope this helps.

How fast mph can you go on snow sleds?

Anywhere from 0 to 205mph.

The average 600 will do 95 in good conditions.

In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?

No, The sound waves itself travels at the slowest speed of its medium regardless of rarefraction or compression, which effects the frequency of the sound wave (how many peaks pass through in 1 second). So a 500hz tonal would pass through at the same time as a 50hz tonal, but the 50hz would have much less energy passing by per second than the 500hz tonal.

What is the relationship between air resistance and the acceleration of falling objects?

As an object falls towards the earth, it accelerates due to the force of gravity acting on it's mass. As velocity increases, air resistance increases. This is in the opposite direction to the force of gravity on the object. Therefore the resultant force on the object is decreased, and the rate of acceleration is reduced. Eventually, the force due to the air resistance is equal in magnitude to the weight and the object has no resultant force acting. At this point the object will be travelling at a constant velocity, commonly referred to as Terminal Velocity.

What is the difference between viscosity and surface tension?

Viscosity is the resistance of flow and surface tension is the lateral force of the bonds between the molecules.

Of course, viscosity is resistance of flow and surface tension of lateral force but viscosity is s display of frictional force during laminar flow caused due to intermolecular forces. The surface tension is a function of cohesive forces generated by intermolecular forces among similar molecules. Very rightly since both the parameters are dynamic in natures and hence a 3rd parameter noted as friccohesity is most advanced version of the contribution of the intermolecular forces operational in liquid dynamic behavior. The friccohesity along with surface tension, viscosity, wetting coefficient, interfacial tension are measured with borosil mansingh survismeter.

A cue ball mass 0.155 kg is at rest on a frictionless pool table The ball is hit dead center by a pool stick which applies an impulse of 1.75 Ns to the ball The ball then slides along the tabl?

The cue ball will have a final velocity after the impulse is applied. Since no external forces act on it, its momentum will be conserved. You can calculate the final velocity using the impulse-momentum theorem: impulse = change in momentum = mass x (final velocity - initial velocity).

How fast can a bullet go in mph?

The speed that a bullet travels depends on the weight of the bullet. For example a bullet for a Magnum .357 made by Federal's American Eagle with a 158gr JSP load can travel at a speed of 1351 km/h.

Distinguish between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures?

the homogeneous materials are-any materials that contains only one phase would be considered HOMOGENEOUS.elements like hydrogen , compound,like sugar ,and solutions like salt,water,are all consederd homogeneous because they are uniform .Each region of a sample is indentical to all other regious of the same sample.

AND THE LAST ONE IS

heterogeneous- heterogeneous mixture are made of more than one phase and they can be separated phsically.The aforementioned chOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ,A TOSSED SALAD , SAND AND A BOWL... of raisin bran cereal are all examples of obvoius heterogeneous mixture!!
Homogenous mixtures are where the components are in the same physical state, such as oil and water. These are two liquids.

Heterogenous mixtures are mixtures where the components are in different physical states, such as coca cola, mixture of water and CO2, liquid and gas.

Why is Young's modulus useful?

Modulus division gives you the remainder when dividing. It is useful in computer programming. Let's say you are making a minesweeper clone. You have a 10x10 grid and each location is either a bomb or needs to know how many bombs are touching it. Now, locations in the middle have 8 neighbors to check, whereas locations on an edge have less. If you assign each location an index number from left to right and top to bottom (starting at 0 up to 99) such as:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39

40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49

50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59

60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69

70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79

80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89

90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99

then we can say x = index modulus 10;

if x equals 0 then we know we are looking at the leftmost column and should not try to check any neighbors to the left (as they don't exist and attempting to check them will cause errors)

otherwise if x equals 9 we know we are in the rightmost column and should not check on the right

otherwise if x is greater than 0 and less than 9 then we are somewhere in the middle

index modulus 10:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

How does mass affect the time it takes to reach terminal velocity?

Not the weight explicitly, but the ballistic coefficient, which is m/CdA. Cd is the drag coefficient and A is the area. Which area depends on how you defined Cd. The downward force on an object is mg. The resisting force is CdA (1/2 rho V*V). Rho is the density of the fluid. At the terminal velocity, the two forces are equal, so Vterminal = sqrt(2mg/rho Cd A) or, if you separate the environment from the falling object Vterminal = sqrt (2*g/rho) sqrt(m/CdA) So as long as m/CdA stays the same, the terminal velocity should stay the same. Since mass usually varies with the cube of the linear dimension, while the area varies with the squre, larger things tend to have higher terminal velocities because m/A increases with the size of the object. Mice and elephants have similar densities and drag coefficients, but the m/A of the elephant is much larger just because it's bigger, so an elephant dropped off the Leaning Tower of Pisa will fall faster than a similarly-mistreated mouse. So Galileo was wrong while being right.

How does KERS kinetic energy recovery system in Formula 1 work?

There are two basic types of KERS systems being developed for F1 - mechanical and electrical: both store energy that would otherwise be lost when braking, and allow that energy to be re-used when accelerating. In the mechanical systems, the energy is stored in a flywheel. When the driver brakes, the flywheel is driven from the car's transmission system to spin it up: when the driver needs the stored energy to add to the engine output under acceleration, the flywheel is re-connected to the transmission system and drives it. The direction of transfer of power (i.e. transmission to flywheel or flywheel to transmission) depends on the gearbox that lies between the two (a special continuously-variable-transmission gearbox is usually used). In the electrical version, under braking the transmission drives a generator that charges a battery: under acceleration, the battery drives an electric motor that drives the transmission. (The generator and motor can be the same device). More details can be seen on http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/09/26/kers-technology-revealed/ (mechanical version) and http://www.f1network.net/main/s491/st130882.htm (electrical version).

What is an accelerated motion?

Accelerated motion is when an object's speed changes as it moves, either increasing or decreasing. It can be caused by changes in direction, speed, or both, and is characterized by a non-constant velocity.

Why is velocity a vector quantity?

Velocity refers to both speed and direction. A vector refers to both magnitude (the speed in this case) and a direction.

Speed without reference to a direction is a scalar, a magnitude without direction.

What does a photocell do?

Photocell consists of two special pieces of silicon joined together. Pure silicon is neaturally charged but if small amount of an impurity such as phosphurus is added, ther are more free electron which make this a better conductor than pure silicon. This is known as n-type(negative) silicon. If a diffrent impurity, such as boron, is added there is an absence of free elactron. The absence of an elactron is known as a hole and the silicon is knpwn as p-type silicon. When these two types of silicon are placed together it is called a p-n junction. An electric field is created between the two layers. Sunlight is made up of a tiny packets of energy called photons. When photons are absorbed the energy causes electron to become free. They move to the negetive layer and leave the junction to flow in an external curcuit.

How does increasing mass affect kinetic energy?

Increasing mass increases kinetic energy because kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass. This means that as mass increases, the kinetic energy of an object will also increase, assuming the velocity remains constant.

How many miles per hour can a dingo run?

The dingo (Canis lupus dingo) is an Australian wolf-dog and is as fast as wolves or other wild dogs, about 50 km/hr for 600-700 meters and slower over longer distances. Canids are "endurance predators," which means they're more long-distance runners than sprinters. Appropriately, many Australian animals which could wind up as the dingo's dinner are also marathon runners.

Incidentally, the dingo is not native to Australia, in the long sense. A placental mammal, it was brought to the continent by man as much as 50,000 years ago (though some would prefer a later date). It took over the niche of the native marsupial predator, the thylacine, which finally went extinct in the 1930's.

How do you change liquid to gas?

To change the phase of a system from liquid to gas, the total system energy must be increased (heat added) to the point where every atom or molecule has sufficient energy to escape the liquid system.

Why is it important to have good tread on your shoes?

As in automobile tires, the purpose of the tread is to increase traction (friction). They increase the surface area of shoe-to-ground contact.. Further, the tread forces softer ground to mold to its shape, allowing more lateral force to be applied to each step. All this increases the traction between your shoes and the ground and allows better control of movement (allows more applied energy to each step with less slippage).

What is the formula for angular momentum?

The formula for angular momentum is L = r x p, where L is the angular momentum, r is the distance vector from the axis of rotation to the point of interest, and p is the linear momentum. This formula describes the rotational motion of an object around a fixed axis.

Which process involves the transformation of liquid water into gaseous water vapor in the water cycle?

The process that involves the transformation of liquid water into gaseous water vapor in the water cycle is called evaporation. This occurs when heat energy from the sun causes liquid water on the Earth's surface to change into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere.

What type of bonds cause water to expand when it freezes?

Hydrogen bonds cause water to expand when it freezes. As water cools and freezes, the hydrogen bonds between water molecules form a crystalline structure with a more open arrangement than in its liquid state, causing it to expand and become less dense.

What is describing motion using words instead of numbers is called what kind of kinematics?

Describing motion using words instead of numbers is called qualitative kinematics. This approach focuses on the characteristics of motion such as speed, direction, and changes in motion without quantifying them numerically.

Why do loose objects on a dashboard slide right when the car turns left?

This happens because of Newton's First Law. This law states

Every body perseveres in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight forward, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by force impressed. This means that when an object is moving, it will naturally continue in a straight path until something acts upon it. When you turn left, the object still wants to move in a straight path, so it is not really turning right, it is attempting to continue move in a straight line.

What is Dax Phyz?

Phyz (Dax Phyz), is a public domain, 2D computer graphics physics engine with built-in editor and DirectX graphics and sound. In contrast to most other real-time physics engines, it is vertex based and stochastic. It's integrator is based on a SIMD-enabled assembly version of the Mersenne Twister random number generator, instead of traditional LCP or iterative methods, allowing simulation of large numbers of micro objects with Brownian motion and macro effects such as object resonance and deformation.
