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

The accepted value for the speed of sound is around 340 m/s. What are some reasons your value may be a little different from the
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The speed of sound depends on the medium thru which it travels in contrast to light (electromagnetic) which can travel thru a vacuum.

The speed of sound will depend on the density of the air thru which it travels - the density  of air is particularly affected by

humidity - water vapor in the air contributes to less density

temperature - warmer is less dense

motion of air - if the air is not motionless the speed will be affected

It took 150 joules to lift a rock 1.5 meters into the air. How much force did it take to left the rock?
Semmy [17]

Hi there!

We can use the equation:

\large\boxed{{W = F \cdot d}}

W = Work (J)

F = Force (N)

d = displacement (m)

We can rearrange to solve for force:

\large\boxed{F = \frac{W}{d}}

Plug in the givens:

F =  \frac{150}{1.5} = \boxed{100N}
