boy uses a simple pulley to pull a block up a ramp. The height of the ramp is 4 m and the length of the ramp is 10 m. Calculate

the mechanical advantage of the ramp and does the pulley provide any additional advantage?

(a) The mechanical advantage of the ramp is determined as 2.5.

(b) The pulley provides additional advantage since it assisted the boy in pulling up the load.

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

The mechanical advantage of an object is the ratio of output force to input force, hence it is called force ratio.

<h3>Mechanical advantage of the ramp</h3>

M.A = Lp/h

where;

  • Lp is the length of the inclined plane
  • h is height of the inclined plane

M.A = 10/4

M.A = 2.5

You rapidly swirl a mixture of substances with different densities
borishaifa [10]
Having different densities being swirled rapidly will cause sedimentation. Sedimentation is the segmentation of the mixture creating layers of particles of these different densities. The process of rapid swirling is called differential centrifugation. An example use of this method is separation human blood into, red, platelet and white blood cells.

Which term describes the difference in electrical charge across a membrane? View Available Hint(s) Which term describes the diff
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Membrane potential

Explanation:

Membrane potential is describes the difference in electrical charge across a membrane.                                                                                                              

The difference in potential between exterior  and  interior of the  biological cell is known as Membrane potential.Generally it is denoted by  millivolts like mV and varies from -80 V to -40 V.

So the answer is Membrane potential

The Cosmoclock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama City, Japan, has a diameter of 100 m. Its name comes from its 60 arms, each of which
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) angular velocity ω = 2π / T

= 2 x 3.14 / 60

= .10467 rad / s

linear velocity v = ω R

=  .10467 x 50

= 5.23 m / s

centripetal force = m v² / R

= mg v² / gR

= 834 x 5.23² / 9.8 x 50

= 46.55 N

B )

apparent weight

= mg - centripetal force

= 834 - 46.55

= 787.45 N

C ) apparent weight

= mg + centripetal force

= 834 + 46.55

= 880.55 N.

D )

For apparent weight to be zero

centripetal force = mg

mg = mv² / R

v² = gR

= 9.8 x 50

= 490

v = 22.13 m /s

time period of revolution

= 2π R /v

2 x 3.14 x 50 / 22.13

= 14.19 s

Alice kicks a 0.25 kg soccer ball with 0.5 N of force. What force does the ball exert on Alice’s foot as she kicks it
Lelechka [254]
You do not doubt it. The third Law of Newton really works. I would say it is the most reliable law of the Universe. Action and reaction. It is not subject to special conditions, it works always. If an object exerts a force over other object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposed direction over the first.

So, the answer, undoubtedly, is that the ball exerts a force of 0.5 N over Alices's foot as she kicks it.

A very small source of light that radiates uniformly in all directions produces an electric field amplitude of 8.45 V/m at a poi
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

4.43 kW

Explanation:

Since Intensity I = P/A = E²/2cμ₀ where P = Power, A = Area = 4πr² where r = distance from source = 61 m and E = electric field amplitude = 8.45 V/m.

P = E²A/2cμ₀ = E²4πr²/2cμ₀ = 2πE²r²/cμ₀

  = 2π(8.45 V/m)²(61 m)²/3 × 10⁸ m/s × 4π × 10⁻⁷ Tm/A

  = 4428.1 W

  = 4.4281 kW ≅ 4.43 kW
