Study Notes
Machine Elements Quiz 3
- Acceleration: The rate of change of displacement with respect to time.
- Components of Linear Acceleration: Angular and radial, centripetal, and normal, tangential.
- Normal Acceleration Formula: ω²R
- Tangential Acceleration Vector: Parallel to the line connecting the point and the point of rotation.
- Relative Acceleration Method: A method for calculating the acceleration of an object relative to the motion; based on analysis of motion in a vacuum; used only for objects moving in a circular path.
- Resultant Acceleration Formula: (Ra² + ω²R²)
- Coriolis' Law: A law describing the acceleration of a particle moving along a path that is also in motion; also a law stating that the acceleration of a particle is proportional to the force applied to it; however it only applies to objects moving at relativistic speeds
- Klein's Construction Method: used to determine the velocity of a projectile, finding the acceleration, obtaining velocities, and also, calculating the angular velocities.
- Space Scale (Ks): The velocity in ft/s represented by 1 inch on the drawing; The ratio of the number of feet on the machine represented by 1 inch on the drawing.
- Acceleration Scale (Ka): The acceleration in ft/s^2 represented by 1 inch on the drawing; The ratio of the angular acceleration to the linear acceleration.
- Question 11: A conveyor moves boxes at a constant acceleration of 1.5 ft/s² to the right.
- Question 12: A car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 8.3 seconds; linear acceleration = 88 ft/s²; distance = 320 ft.
- Question 13: A wheel rotates 400 revolutions counterclockwise while decelerating from 1100 rpm to 800 rpm. Angular acceleration = 83.78 rad/s².
- Question 14: Angular velocity of a shaft increases from 1000 rpm to 2500 rpm clockwise in 20 seconds; angular acceleration = 261.8 rad/s²
- Question 15: A cam accelerates uniformly to 750 rpm clockwise in 8 seconds from rest; angular acceleration = 261.8 rad/s².
