A wedge is a machine and it is used for separating bodies.

<h3 /><h3>The Wedge as a Machine</h3>

The wedge is a combination of two inclined planes. When the wedge is driven into a body by an effort force, a much larger force will be exerted to each side by the wedge surfaces.

What are the importance of wedge?

A wedge is used to separate bodies which are held together by large forces example of this scenario is splitting of timber. A wedge is a machine and the example of wedge - type of machine are;

  • Axes
  • Chisel
  • Knives
  • Cutting tools

Note that a thin wedge has a higher mechanical advantage than a short thick one.

Therefore, a wedge is a machine and it is used for separating bodies.

The motion map shows an object’s position and velocity at given times. A long black arrow right labeled x. Above that are 5 gree
Digiron [165]

The map be changed <u>by adding vectors that are all the same length and placing them above the current top row of vectors</u>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A motion map represents the position, velocity, or acceleration of an object at various time readings

a small point or dot describes the position of the object. the object's velocity / acceleration is represented by an arrow / vector.

In this motion map, The arrows (vectors) are all the same length (same speed) and point in the same direction (direction to the right) for t = 0 (origin) to t = 4s

At t = 5s, the object has slowed down, and at t = 7s and 8s the object stops

At t = 9s-11 s, the object accelerates to the left

So the position of the next moving object will be above the previous movement, and the length of the same vector shows the same speed / acceleration

So that motion maps show constant acceleration after the object changes direction, it can be done by adding vectors that are all the same length and placing them above the current top row of vectors

The masses of the Moon and Earth are 7.35 x 1022 kg and 5.97 x 1024 kg, respectively. The strength of the gravitational force be
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Distance between centre of Earth and centre of Moon is 3.85 x 10⁸ m

Explanation:

The attractive force experienced by two mass objects is known as Gravitational force.

The gravitational force is determine by the relation:

F=\frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{d^{2} }      ....(1)

According to the problem,

Mass of Moon, m₁ = 7.35 x 10²² kg

Mass of Earth, m₂ = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

Gravitational force experienced by them, F = 1.98 x 10²⁰ N

Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²kg⁻²

Substitute these values in equation (1).

1.98\times10^{20} =\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times7.35\times10^{22}\times5.97\times10^{24} }{d^{2} }

d^{2}=\frac{2.93\times10^{37}}{1.98\times10^{20}}

d=\sqrt{1.48\times10^{17}}

d = 3.85 x 10⁸ m

dusya [7]

Answer:

W=-21,870,000\ J

Explanation:

<u>Work and Kinetic Energy </u>

The work an object does due to its motion is equal to the change of its kinetic energy. Being ko and k1 the initial and final kinetic energy respectively and m the mass of the object, then

W=\Delta k=k_1-k_0

Since

\displaystyle k=\frac{mv^2}{2}

We have

\displaystyle W=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

The truck has a mass of 60,000 kg and is moving at 27 m/s. The runaway truck ramp must stop the truck, so the final speed is 0. Thus

\displaystyle W=\frac{(60,000)0^2}{2}-\frac{(60,000)(27)^2}{2}

W=0-21870000\ J

\boxed{W=-21,870,000\ J}
