A child makes a ramp to push his toy dump truck up to his sandbox. If he uses 5 newtons of force to push the 12-newton truck up the ramp, what is the mechanical advantage of his ramp?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 2.4

Explanation:

Given that,

Input force, [tex]F_i=5\ N[/tex]

Output force, [tex]F_o=12\ N[/tex]

We need to find the mechanical advantage of the ramp. The ratio of output force to the input force is equal to mechanical advantage. So,

[tex]m=\dfrac{12}{5}\\\\m=2.4[/tex]

So, the mechanical advantage of his ramp is 2.4.

A train crosses 650m long bridge and 800m long platform in 20sec and 30 sec respectively. what is speed of train?​

Answers

Answer:

29 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the bridge and the platform are back to back,

Average speed = Total Distance/ Total Time

Avg S = 1,450m/50s = 29 m/s

The average speed of the train is 29 m/s

The average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance traveled and the total time taken.

    Total distance = 650 m + 800 m = 1450 m

     Total Time      = 20 s + 30 s = 50 s

    Average speed = total distance/total time

                               = 1450 / 50

                               = 29 m/s is the average speed of the train.

our battery has died and your friends push your vehicle so you can kick-start the engine. You and the vehicle have a combined mass of 1600 kg. If your friends do 6000 J of work and one-third of that is dissipated by friction, how fast is your vehicle traveling?

Answers

Answer:2.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of person and vehicle is [tex]m=1600\ kg[/tex]

Total work done is [tex]W_t=6000\ J[/tex]

Friction consumes one-third of the energy

The remaining two-third is consumed to increase the kinetic energy

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{3}\times 6000=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1600\times v^2\\\\\Rightarrow 4000\times 2=1600\times v^2\\\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{5}\ \approx 2.23\ m/s[/tex]

Consider two insulating balls with evenly distributed equal and opposite charges on their surfaces, held with a certain distance between the centers of the balls. Construct a problem in which you calculate the electric field (magnitude and direction) due to the balls at various points along a line running through the centers of the balls and extending to infinity on either side. Choose interesting points and comment on the meaning of the field at those points. For example, at what points might the field be just that due to one ball and where does the field become negligibly small? Among the
things to be considered are the magnitudes of the charges and the distance between the centers of the balls. Your instructor may wish for you to consider the electric field off axis or for a more complex array of charges, such as those in a water molecule.

Answers

Answer:

interest point:

1) Point on the left side

2) Point within the radius r₁ of the first sphere

3) Point between the two spheres

4) point within the radius r₂ of the second sphere

5) Right side point

Explanation:

In this case, the total electric field is the vector sum of the electric fields of each sphere, to simplify the calculation on the line that joins the two spheres

       

We will call the sphere on the left 1 and it has a positive charge Q with radius r1, the sphere on the right is called 2 with charge -Q with radius r2. The total field is

          E_ {total} = E₁ + E₂

          E_{ total} = [tex]k \frac{Q}{x_1^2} + k \frac{Q}{x_2^2}[/tex]

the bold indicate vectors, where x₁ and x₂ are the distances from the center of each sphere. If the distance that separates the two spheres is d

          x₂ = x₁ -d

          E total = [tex]k \frac{Q}{x_1^2} - k \frac{Q}{(x_1 - d)^2}[/tex]

Let's analyze the field for various points of interest.

1) Point on the left side

in this case

            E_ {total} = [tex]k Q \ ( \frac{1}{x_1^2} - \frac{1}{(x_1 +d)2} )[/tex]

            E_ {total} = [tex]k \frac{Q}{x_1^2}[/tex]   [tex]( 1 - \frac{1}{(1 + \frac{d}{x_1} )^2 } )[/tex]

We have several interesting possibilities:

* We can see that as the point is further away the field is more similar to the field created by two point charges

* there is a point where the field is zero

            E_ {total} = 0

             x₁² =  (x₁ + d)²

           

2) Point within the radius r₁ of the first sphere.

In this case, according to Gauus' law, the charge is on the surface of the sphere at the point, there is no charge inside so this sphere has no electric field on its inner point

              E_ {total} = [tex]-k \frac{Q}{x_2^2} = -k \frac{Q}{((d-x_1)^2}[/tex]

this expression holds for the points located at

                  -r₁ <x₁ <r₁

3) Point between the two spheres

                E_ {total} = [tex]k \frac{Q}{x_1^2} + k \frac{Q}{(d+x_1)^2}[/tex]

This champ is always different from zero

4) point within the radius r₂ of the second sphere, as there is no charge inside, only the first sphere contributes

                  E_ {total} = [tex]+ k \frac{Q}{(d-x_1)^2}[/tex]+ k Q / (d-x1) 2

point range

                  -r₂ <x₂ <r₂

             

5) Right side point

            E_ {total} = [tex]k \frac{Q}{(x_2-d)^2} - k \frac{Q}{x_2^2}[/tex]

             E_ {total} = [tex]- k \frac{Q}{x_2^2} ( 1- \frac{1}{(1- \frac{d}{x_2})^2 } )[/tex]- k Q / x22 (1- 1 / (x1 + d) 2)

we have two possibilities

* as the distance increases the field looks more like the field created by two point charges

* there is a point where the field is zero

A 4.0 kg circular disk slides in the x- direction on a frictionless horizontal surface with a speed of 5.0 m/s as shown in the adjacent Figure. It collides with an identical disk that is at rest before the collision. The collision is elastic. Disk 1 goes off at an 60 5.0 m/s angle of 60 with respect to the x-direction. Disk 2 g 30 goes off at an angle of 30 with respect to the x-direction. What best describes the speeds of the disks after the collision?

Answers

Solution :

Let [tex]$m_1=m_2=4$[/tex] kg

[tex]$u_1 = 5$[/tex] m/s

Let [tex]$v_1$[/tex] and [tex]$v_2$[/tex] are the speeds of the disk [tex]$m_1$[/tex] and [tex]$m_2$[/tex]  after the collision.

So applying conservation of momentum in the y-direction,

[tex]$0=m_1 .v_1_y -m_2 .v_2_y $[/tex]

[tex]$v_1_y = v_2_y$[/tex]

[tex]$v_1 . \sin 60=v_2. \sin 30$[/tex]

[tex]$v_2 = v_1 \times \frac{\sin 60}{\sin 30}$[/tex]

[tex]$v_2=1.732 \times v_1$[/tex]

Therefore, the disk 2 have greater velocity and hence more kinetic energy after the collision.

Now applying conservation of momentum in the x-direction,

[tex]$m_1.u_1=m_1.v_1_x+m_2.v_2_x$[/tex]

[tex]$u_1=v_1_x+v_2_x$[/tex]

[tex]$5=v_1. \cos 60 + v_2 . \cos 30$[/tex]

[tex]$5=v_1. \cos 60 + 1.732 \times v_1 \cos 30$[/tex]

[tex]$v_1 = 2.50$[/tex] m/s

So, [tex]$v_2 = 1.732 \times 2.5$[/tex]

          = 4.33 m/s

Therefore, speed of the disk 2 after collision is 4.33 m/s

Hi there! :)

Use the following equation in solving for kinetic energy:

KE = 1/2mv² where:

KE = kinetic energy (J)

m = mass (kg)

v = velocity (m/s)

Plug in the given values:

12,000 = 40v²

Divide both sides by 40:

12,000 / 40 = v²

300 = v²

Take the square root of both sides:

√300 = v

v ≈ 17.32 m/s

Please help I have no idea how to do this

Answers

Answer:

So an object with mass is attracted to another object with mass, and the gravitational force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

If distance  were to increase, than the gravitational force would decrease. If mass were to increase, so would the gravitational force.

Explanation:

Explanation:

Lets take gravitational force(F) and mass(m) and distance (r)

now for a body in contact with the surface of the earth, its mass is also considered(m‘),now the mass of the earth(m") is also considered,then the distance from the body to the center of the earth (r).ie it r because its practically the radius of the earth. is also considered

So by using dimensional analysis ....

we get F a m'•m"/r² ,where a is proportional to.

now since F is directly increaseproportional to m ie. F a m, then an increase in mass of the body increases it's gravitational force(and clearly that makes sense because the bigger you are the stronger you get pulled to the ground)

then we also see that F is inversely proportional to r ie.F a 1/r ,then an increase in the distance between the ground an the object decrease it's gravitational force ( meaning as any object on earth keeps on moving away from the ground the gravitational force between the object and the center of the earth is weak, when it reaches space then the force becomes virtually negligible!)

So to answer the second question, we clearly see that doubling the mass of the body increases the gravitational force between it and the earth

and doubling the distance on the other hand will decrease the attraction between the body and the earth

So a body forcefully projected into the air fights against gravity but its easier as it keeps on getting higher, If it has a greater mass like that of a trail or truck , it will not even probably stay in the air for long , unless its projected with a very high velocity

You measure the pressure of the four tires of your car each to be 35.0 pounds per square inch (psi). You then roll your car forward so that each tire is upon a sheet of paper. You outline the surface area of contact between each tire and the paper, which you later measure to be 32.0 square inches. What is the weight of your car

Answers

Answer:

Weight of car = 36034.88 lb.ft/s²

Explanation:

We are told the pressure of the four tires of your car is; P = 35.0 psi

Also, the surface area of contact is; A = 32 in²

Thus;

Weight of tires = Pressure × Area

W_tires = 35 × 32

Weight_tires = 1120lb.

To get the weight of the car, we will multiply the tire weight by acceleration due to gravity.

It's value in ft/s² is g = 32.174 ft/s²

Thus;

Weight of car = 1120 × 32.174

Weight of car = 36034.88 lb.ft/s²

A projectile was fired horizontally from a cliff 20m above the ground. If
the horizontal range of the projectile is 40m, calculate the initial velocity
of the projectile.

Answers

The initial velocity of the projectile is 19.8m/s

Explanation:

First, find time.

From our kinematics equations:

delta y = Vi•t + (1/2)at^2

rearrange,

t = sqrt[(2•delta y)/a]

t = sqrt[(2•20m)/9.8m/s^2]

t = 2.02s

Next, plug time into new kinematics equation to solve for the Vi in the x direction (horizontal)

delta x = Vi•t + (1/2)at^2

delta x = Vi•t

Rearrange:

Vi = delta x/t

Vi = 40m/2.02s

Vix = 19.8m/s
