how to find the mechanical advantage

Answers

Answer 1
To determine its mechanical advantage you'll divide the length of the sloped side by the width of the wedge. For example, if the slope is 3 centimeters and the width is 1.5 centimeters, then the mechanical advantage is 2, or 3 centimeters divided by 1.5 centimeters.

The direction of applied force has to be .............. to the distance in order to say work is done​

Answers

Answer:

Parallel

Explanation:

The work done is defined as the force applied on an object and the displacement in the position of the object in the direction of force.

W = F s cos A

where, F is the force, s is the displacement and A is the angle between force and displacement.

When the angle between the force and the displacement is 90 degree, the work done is zero.

To get the maximum work the angle between the force and the displacement is 0 degree.

So, to get the work done by the force the angle between the force and displacement is 0 degree that means the force and displacement is parallel to each other.

is there any machine that is 100% efficient? why?why not

Answers

Answer:

No, it's not there.

Explanation:

For a machine to be 100% efficient, it has to be with an output which is equal to its input. But machines have an out put less than an input, hence efficiency below 100%.

Robin fired a bullet of mass 100 gm from a gun of mass 5 kg. The bullet leaves the gun with a speed of 400 m/s. After penetrating 4 cm of a plank of 10 cm, the bullet loses one third of its initial velocity.
a. Calculate the backward velocity of the gun?
b. Can the bullet penetrate the plank of the wood completely? Explain mathematically.

please help

Answers

(a) The recoil or backward velocity of the gun is 8 m/s.

(b) The bullet cannot penetrate the plank of the wood completely.

The given parameters include;

mass of the bullet, m₁ = 100 g = 0.1 kgmass of the gun, m₂ = 5 kginitial velocity of the bullet, u₁ = 400 m/sthickness of the plank, x = 10 cm

(a) The backward or recoil velocity of the gun is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

let the backward or recoil  velocity of the gun = u₂

m₁u₁  + m₂u₂ = 0

m₂u₂ = -m₁u₁

[tex]u_2 = -\frac{m_1u_1}{m_2} \\\\u_2 = - \frac{0.1 \times 400}{5} \\\\u_2 = -8 \ m/s[/tex]

Thus, the recoil or backward velocity of the gun is 8 m/s.

(b) determine if the bullet can penetrate the plank of the wood completely

the bullet traveled 4 cm and lost ¹/₃ of u₁the remaining distance to completely penetrate the plank = 6 cmthe final velocity of the bullet at 4 cm, v = 400 - ¹/₃ x 400 m/s  = 266.67 m/s

the acceleration of the bullet is calculated as;

v² = u₁² + 2as

2as = v² - u²

[tex]a = \frac{v^2 -u_1^2}{2s} \\\\a = \frac{(266.67)^2 -(400)^2}{2\times 0.04} = -1.111 \times 10^6 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Finally, determine the distance traveled by the bullet when it comes to a complete stop, that is the final velocity = 0

[tex]v_f^2 = v^2 + 2ad\\\\2ad = v_f^2 - v^2\\\\d = \frac{v_f^2 - v^2}{2a} \\\\d = \frac{(0) - (266.67)^2}{2(-1.111\times 10^6)} \\\\d = 0.032 \ m[/tex]

d = 3.2 cm

The total distance traveled by the bullet inside the plank = 4 cm + 3.2 cm = 7.2 cm

Therefore, the bullet cannot penetrate the plank completely.

Why does a ship float on water when it weighs about 100tones and why a stone of less than a kg sinks

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

Let me answer this in a simple way, since the density of stone is greater than that of water, the stone sinks as the weight of the stone is greater than the weight of water displaced by it. But the ship is designed in such a way that the relative density of the ship always becomes less than that of water. Therefore, the weight of the water displaced becomes equal to the total weight of the ship and thus it floats.

There are many other ways to explain this but this should give you the general idea.

A 4000 N force acts on an object that initially has a momentum of 400 kg-m/s for 0.9 seconds. What is the final momentum of the system?

Answers

Answer:

4360 Kgm/s

Explanation:

Applying,

Ft = M-M'................. Equation 1

Where F = force, t = time, M = Final momentum, M' = Initial momentum.

make M the subject of the equation

M = Ft+M'............ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F = 4000 N, t = 0.9 seconds, M' = 400 kg-m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

M = 4000+(0.9×400)

M = 4000+360

M = 4360 kgm/s

Hence the final momentum is 4360 kgm/s

A skipper on a boat notices wave crests passing his anchor chain every 5.6 s . He estimates the distance between wave crests to be 16 m . He also correctly estimates the speed of the waves. Find this speed.

Answers

Answer:

v = 2.85 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A skipper on a boat notices wave crests passing his anchor chain every 5.6 s.

The distance between wave crests to be 16 m.

We need to find the speed of the waves. The speed of a wave can be calculated by the formula as follows :

[tex]v=f\lambda\\\\v=\dfrac{\lambda}{T}\\\\v=\dfrac{16}{5.6}\\\\v=2.85\ m/s[/tex]

So, the speed of the wave is 2.85 m/s.

c. No, ya que un sistema que no se mueve no tiene energía.

Answers

Answer:

d. No, porque la ecuación de trabajo lo define.

Explanation:

En Física, el trabajo realizado se puede definir como la cantidad de energía transferida cuando un objeto o cuerpo se mueve a lo largo de una distancia debido a la acción de una fuerza externa.

Matemáticamente, el trabajo realizado viene dado por la fórmula;

[tex] W = F * d [/tex]

Dónde;

W es el trabajo realizado.F representa la fuerza que actúa sobre un cuerpo. d representa la distancia recorrida por el cuerpo.

Por lo tanto, podemos deducir de la definición de trabajo y su fórmula que el trabajo se realiza cuando un objeto (cuerpo) se mueve una distancia o experimenta cualquier forma de desplazamiento mientras transfiere energía.

is placing a compass near a wire with live electrical current biology, chemistry, or physics?

Answers

The process of PLACING a compass wherever you want it involves Biology.  Biology deals with everything that has to happen for your brain to send instructions to your muscles, your muscles to operate your arm and your hand, and your hand to move the compass to where you want it, while your eyes keep track of what's happening and send course-corrections through your brain.

Once you get the compass there and see it start doing strange things, those EFFECTS are explained by laws of nature that are covered in Physics.

Placing a compass near a wire with live electrical current involves physics. Because, the deflection in magnetic field by the current from the electrical wire is dealt with physics.

What is magnetic field ?

A magnetic field is generated by the field lines originating from a magnet or an electrical  coil. The moving current is always associated with a magnetic field.

A compass acts as a tiny magnet and it deflects to the north in  the absence of an electrical field. If an electric field is brought in contact with the compass the needle will deflect into the direction of the magnetic field from the wire.

The strength of a magnetic field, associated electric field, magnetic flux etc. are more focused in the branches of physics. The magnetic properties of a substance is a physical property.
