The top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it. Because the contact between the bolt and the pliers working surface is less.

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

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, it is used to obtained efficiency of the given mechanical machine.

The efficiency to open the stubborn bolt depends upon the contact between the working surface of the pliers and the bolt.

The contact between the bolt and the top pair of pliers working surface is less. Its mechanical advantage is less.

Hence, the top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it.

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.2 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 16 N. a. How much

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

a $W_{3.5} = 490 \ J$

b $W_{2.5} = 250 \ J$

Explanation:

Generally the force constant is mathematically represented as

$k = \frac{F}{x}$

substituting values given in the question

=> $k = \frac{16}{0.2}$

=> $k = 80 \ N /m$

Generally the workdone in stretching the spring 3.5 m is mathematically represented as

$W_{3.5} = \frac{1}{2} * k * (3.5)^2$

=> $W_{3.5} = \frac{1}{2} * 80 * (3.5)^2$

=> $W_{3.5} = 490 \ J$

Generally the workdone in compressing the spring 2.5 m is mathematically represented as

$W_{2.5} = \frac{1}{2} * k * (2.5)^2$

=> $W_{2.5} = \frac{1}{2} * 80 * (2.5)^2$

=> $W_{2.5} = 250 \ J$

Find your mass if a scale on earth reads 650 N when you stand on it.

dezoksy [38]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) .

On Earth, acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² (rounded) .

650 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side by (9.8 m/s²): 650 N / 9.8 m/s² = mass

Mass = 66.3 kilograms (rounded)

Examine the roller coaster track above. Assume there is negligible friction as the roller coaster moves from position A to posit

anyanavicka [17]

At point E

the kinetic energy of the rollercoaster is small compared to the potential energy
the potential energy is greater than the kinetic energy
the total energy is a mixture of potential and kinetic energy

<h3>What is the energy of the roller coaster at point E?</h3>

The energy of a roller coaster could either be potential energy, kinetic energy or a combination of both potential and kinetic energy.

Using analogies, the energy of the roller coaster at point E can be compared to a falling fruit from a tree which falls onto a pavement and is the rolling towards the floor. Point E can be compared to the midpoint of the fall of the fruit.

At point E

the kinetic energy of the rollercoaster is small compared to the potential energy
the potential energy is greater than the kinetic energy
the total energy is a mixture of potential and kinetic energy

In conclusion, the energy of the rollercoaster at E is both Kinetic and potential energy,

An airplane travels at 300 mi/h south for 2.00 h and then at 250 mi/h north for 750 miles. what is the average speed for the tri

iren2701 [21]

<span>Th find the average speed of a trip we need to dived the total distance by the total time. Let's find the total distance d. d = (300 mi/h)(2.00 h) + 750 miles d = 600 miles + 750 miles d = 1350 miles The total distance is 1350 miles Let's find the total time t. t = 2.00 hours + (750 mi / 250 mi/h) t = 2.00 hours + 3.00 hours t = 5.00 hours The total time of the trip is 5.00 hours. We can find the average speed. d / t = 1350 miles / 5.00 hours d / t = 270 miles/ hour The average speed of the trip is 270 mi/h (Note that the direction does not matter when we find the average speed.)</span>
