Paper For Above instruction

The following analysis aims to systematically solve the given physics problems, applying relevant principles and equations from classical mechanics. Each problem will be approached with a clear step-by-step method, highlighting the assumptions, formulas, and calculations involved.

Question 1: Angular velocity of rotating tires

Given data: diameter of tires, D = 60 cm = 0.6 m; linear speed, v = 100 km/hr.

Objective: Find angular velocity, ω, in rad/s.

Solution:

First, convert linear speed to m/s: v = 100 km/hr = (100 * 1000 m) / (3600 s) ≈ 27.78 m/s.

The relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity is v = rω, where r = D/2 = 0.3 m.

Rearranged: ω = v / r = 27.78 / 0.3 ≈ 92.6 rad/s.

Therefore, the angular velocity of the tires is approximately 92.6 rad/s.

Question 2: Centripetal acceleration and force

Given data: mass m = 3 kg; radius r = 2 m; tangential velocity v = 2 m/s.

Solution:

Calculate centripetal acceleration, ac = v2 / r = (2)2 / 2 = 4 / 2 = 2 m/s2.

Calculate centripetal force, Fc = m ac = 3 2 = 6 N.

Hence, the centripetal acceleration is 2 m/s2, and the force is 6 Newtons.

Question 3: Range of the projectile (arrow)

Given data: vx = 40 m/s; vy = 20 m/s; acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s2.

Objective: Find horizontal distance (range) before hitting the ground.

Solution:

Vertical motion: Time of flight, t = 2 vy / g = 2 20 / 9.8 ≈ 4.08 seconds.

Horizontal distance: Range = vx t = 40 4.08 ≈ 163.2 meters.

Therefore, the arrow will travel approximately 163.2 meters horizontally before hitting the ground.

Question 4: Force applied to wrench to loosen bolt

Given data: torque τ = 15 Nm; wrench length L = 20 cm = 0.2 m.

Solution:

Force, F = τ / L = 15 / 0.2 = 75 N.

Thus, a force of approximately 75 Newtons must be applied perpendicular to the handle to loosen the bolt.

Question 5: Initial velocities from projectile motion

Given data: total time in air, t = 4 s; horizontal distance, d = 100 m.

Solution:

Horizontal component, vx = d / t = 100 / 4 = 25 m/s.

Vertical component, vy = g t / 2 = 9.8 4 / 2 = 19.6 m/s.

Therefore, initial horizontal velocity is 25 m/s, and initial vertical velocity is approximately 19.6 m/s.

Conclusion

This comprehensive analysis applies classical physics principles—kinematics, dynamics, and rotational motion—to derive the solutions for each problem. Each solution involves identifying known quantities, selecting appropriate equations, and performing the calculations step-by-step to ensure clarity and accuracy.
