Otherwise arbitrary and the constraint is nonholonomic

Reference no: EM13553054

A particle moves in the x - y plane under the constraint that its velocity vector is always directed towards a point on the x axis whose abscissa is some given function of time f(t). Show that for f(t) differentiable, but otherwise arbitrary, the constraint is nonholonomic.

Calculate mutual inductance-centre a small coil of n2 turns : A long solenoid of length L, cross-sectional area A, having N1 turns, has wound about its centre a small coil of N2 turns. Calculate the mutual inductance if L=1 m, A=10 cm2, N1=1000, N2=20.

Particle of mass m moving along the x-axis collides : A particle of mass m moving along the x-axis collides elastically with another particle of identical mass at rest in the lab frame and scatters. Its final momentum makes an angle theta with the x-axis in the lab. If its initial kinetic energy is K_0,..

Energy for this reaction in the laboratory system : A π+ meson of rest mass 139.6 MeV collides with a neutron (rest mass 939.6 MeV)stationary in the laboratory system to produce a K+ meson (rest mass 494 MeV)and a hyperon (rest mass 1115 MeV). What is the threshold energy for this reaction in the labo..

What is the velocity of the wave and wavelength of the wave : A transverse mechanical wave is traveling along a string lying along the x-axis. The displacement of the string as a function of position and time, y(x,t), is described by the following equation: y(x,t) = 0.0490sin(3.60x-182t) where x and y are in..

Otherwise arbitrary and the constraint is nonholonomic : A particle moves in the x - y plane under the constraint that its velocity vector is always directed towards a point on the x axis whose abscissa is some given function of time f(t). Show that for f(t) differentiable, but otherwise arbitrary, the con..

Find the maximum velocity of the mass : A 0.900 kg mass on a spring oscillates horizontally with little friction according to the following equation: x = 0.0700cos(2.30t), where x is in meters and t in seconds.

What is the density of the planet : A satellite is in a circular orbit very close to the surface of a spherical planet. The period of the orbit is 2.50 hours. What is the density of the planet? Assume that the planet has a uniform density.

Ind amplitude of pressure wave generated by snow mobile : The sound level in decibels is typically expressed as ? = 10 log (I/I0), but since sound is a pressure wave, the sound level can be expressed in terms of a pressure difference. Intensity depends on the amplitude squared, so the expression is ? = 2..
