A 92-kg man climbs into a car with worn out shock absorbers, and this causes the car to drop down 4.5 cm. As he drives along he hits a bump, which starts the car oscillating at an angular frequency of 4.52 rad/s. What is the mass of the car ?A) 890 kg B) 1900 kg
C) 920 kg
D) 990 kg
E) 760 kg

the mass of the car is 890 kg

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the man, m = 92 kg

displacement of the car's spring, x = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The spring constant of the car,

f = kx

where;

f is the weight of the man on the car = mg

mg = kx

k = mg/x

k = (92 x 9.8) / 0.045

k = 20,035.56 N/m

The angular speed of car, ω, when the is inside is given as 4.52 rad/s

The total mass of the car and the man is calculated as;

The mass of the car alone = 980.7 kg - 92 kg

                                            = 888.7 kg

                                             ≅ 890 kg

Therefore, the mass of the car is 890 kg

layers of the earth affect the waves and these effects are seen on instruiments such as seimometers

explanation:

considering the bohr theory, the type of connection that requires the transfer the answer conuldn't be right
