The mechanical advantage of the lever is 3 and the right option is A.) 3.

<h3>What is mechanical advantage?</h3>

Mechanical advantage can be defined as the ratio of load to effort in a machine.

To calculate the mechanical advantage of the lever, we use the formula below.

Formula

M.A = y/x................ Equation 1

Where:

M.A = mechanical advantage of the lever
y = distance moved by effort (input arm)
x = distance moved by load (output arm)

From the question,

Given:

y = 3 m
x = 1 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

M.A = 3/1
M.A = 3.

Hence, The mechanical advantage of the lever is 3 and the right option is A.) 3.

A nautical mile is 6076 feet, and 1 knot is a unit of speed equal to 1 nautical mile/hour. How fast is a boat going 8 knots goin

mezya [45]

Answer:

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

Explanation:

given,

1 nautical mile = 6076 ft

1 knot = 1 nautical mile /hour

1 knot = 6076 ft/hr

speed of boat = 8 knots

8 knots = 8 nautical mile /hour

= $8 \times \dfrac{6076\ ft}{1\nautical\ mile}\times \dfrac{1\ hour}{60\times 60\ s}$

= 13.50 ft/s

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

. If she

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

9 meters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Avi is, $m=40\ kg$

Spring constant is, $k=176,400\ N/m$

Compression in the spring is, $x=20\ cm=0.20\ m$

Let the maximum height reached be 'h' m.

Now, as the spring is compressed, there is elastic potential energy stored in the spring. This elastic potential energy is transferred to Avi in the form of gravitational potential energy.

So, by law of conservation of energy, decrease in elastic potential energy is equal to increase in gravitational potential energy.

Decrease in elastic potential energy is given as:

$EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\EPE=\frac{1}{2}\times 176400\times (0.20)^2\\EPE=88200\times 0.04=3528\ J$

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is given as:

$GPE=mgh=40\times 9.8\times h=392h$

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is equal decrease in elastic potential energy. Therefore,

$392h=3528\\\\h=\frac{3528}{392}\\\\h=9\ m$

Therefore, Avi will reach a maximum height of 9 meters.

A shopping cart with two nice kids, rolls off a horizontal roof ledge that is 50

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

9.39 m/s

Explanation:

Using the y-direction, we can solve for the time t it takes for the cart to reach the ground.

Assume the up direction is positive and the down direction is negative.

v₀ = 0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
Δy = -50 m
t = ?

Find the constant acceleration equation that contains these four variables.

Δy = v₀t + 1/2at²

Substitute known values into this equation.

-50 = (0)t + 1/2(-9.8)t²

Multiply and simplify.

-50 = -4.9t²

Divide both sides of the equation by -4.9.

10.20408163 = t²

Square root both sides of the equation.

t = 3.194382825

Now we can use this time t and solve for v₀ in the x-direction. Time is most often our link between vertical and horizontal components of projectile motion.

List out known variables in the x-direction.

v₀ = ?
t = 3.194382825 s
a = 0 m/s²
Δx = 30 m

Find the constant acceleration equation that contains these four variables.

Δx = v₀t + 1/2at²

Substitute known values into the equation.

30 = (v₀ · 3.194382825) + 1/2(0)(3.194382825)²

Multiply and simplify.

30 = v₀ · 3.194382825

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.194382825.

v₀ = 9.391485505

The cart was rolling at a velocity of 9.39 m/s (initial velocity) when it left the ledge.
