<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Removing nail by the flat end of the hammer is an example of </u><u>using hammer as a lever</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Lever is a type of simple machine and we know that machine is anything that makes the work of a human easier. By using hammer to remove a nail from wood is an example of lever. The input force is applied on the handle of hammer and a result the output force is experienced at the nail. Fulcrum is the area between the wood and the mouth of hammer by which we will remove the nail.

In space movies, spacecrafts explode and oxygen is needed for a fire to start. Why is it wrong? What would really happen?

Triss [41]

Answer:

Hey

The reason these "space movies" are wrong is because objects in "space" (not in a "space" craft) can't catch on fire because there is no air in "space".

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at

inn [45]

Answer:

a) $v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

b) $H=8.9605\,m$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of bullet, $m=4.97\times 10^{-3}\,kg$

compression of the spring, $\Delta x=0.0476\,m$

force required for the given compression, $F=9.12 \,N$

(a)

We know

$F=m.a$

where:

a= acceleration

$9.12=4.97\times 10^{-3}\times a$

$a\approx 1835\,m.s^{-2}\\$

we have:

initial velocity, $u=0\,m.s^{-1}$

Using the eq. of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a.\Delta x$

where:

v= final velocity after the separation of spring with the bullet.

$v^2= 0^2+2\times 1835\times 0.0476$

$v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

(b)

Now, in vertical direction we take the above velocity as the initial velocity "u"

so,

$u=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

∵At maximum height the final velocity will be zero

$v=0\,m.s^{-1}$

Using the equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2-2g.h$

where:

h= height

g= acceleration due to gravity

$0^2=13.2171^2-2\times 9.8\times h$

$h=8.9129\,m$

is the height from the release position of the spring.

So, the height from the latched position be:

$H=h+\Delta x$

$H=8.9129+0.0476$

$H=8.9605\,m$

A 85 kg lineman tackles a 90 kg receiver. The receiver is running 5.8 m/s, and the lineman is moving 4.1 m/s, at a right angle t

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

3.59 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of lineman,m=85 kg

Mass of receiver,m'=90 kg

Speed of receiver,v'=5.8 m/s

Speed of lineman,v=4.1 m/s

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

We have to find the their velocity immediately after the tackle.

Initial momentum, $P_i=\sqrt{p^2_1+p^2_2}=\sqrt{(85\times 4.1)^2+(90\times 5.8)^2}=627.6 kgm/s$

According to law of conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum= $(m+m')V$

$627.6=(85+90)V=175V$

$V=\frac{627.6}{175}=3.59 m/s$

the pygmy shrew has an average mass of 2.0 g if 49 of these shrew are placed on a spring scale with a spring constant of 24 N/m

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Spring's displacement, x = -0.04 meters.

Explanation:

Let the spring's displacement be x.

Given the following data;

Mass of each shrew, m = 2.0 g to kilograms = 2/1000 = 0.002 kg

Number of shrews, n = 49

Spring constant, k = 24 N/m

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the spring's displacement;

At equilibrium position:

Fnet = Felastic + Fg = 0

But, Felastic = -kx

Total mass, Mt = nm

Fg = -Mt = -nmg

-kx -nmg = 0

Rearranging, we have;

kx = -nmg

Making x the subject of formula, we have;

$x = \frac {-nmg}{k}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$x = \frac {-49*0.002*9.8}{24}$

$x = \frac {-0.9604}{24}$

x = -0.04 m

Therefore, the spring's displacement is -0.04 meters.
