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.

A battery charger can produce 3A at 12 Volt and charges a battery fer 2 hr. Calculate work in KJ.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: 259.2 KJ

Explanation:

The formula calculate work don in a circuit is given by :-

W=QV, where Q is charge and V is the potential difference.

The formula to calculate charge in circuit :-

Q=It, where I is current and t is time.

Given : Current : I=3A

Potential difference : V=12\ V

Time : t=2\ hr=2(3600)\text{ seconds}=7200\text{ seconds}

Now, Q=3(7200)=21,600\ C

Then,  W=(21600)(12)=259,200\text{ Joules}=259.2\text{ KJ}

Hence, the work done = 259.2 KJ

A 10 kg blue cart moving to the right at 25 m/s collides with a 17 kg red cart moving in the opposite direction at 16 m/s. If, a
scoray [572]

Answer:

24.8m/s

Explanation:

Given data

m1= 10kg

u1=25m/s

m2=17kg

u2=16m/s

v1=10m/s

v2=??

Applying the conservation of linear momentum

m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2

substitute

10*25+17*16=10*10+17*v2

250+272=100+17v2

522=100+17v2

522-100=17v2

422=17v2

Divide both sides by 17

v2= 422/17

v2= 24.8 m/s

Hence the velocity of the red cart is 24.8m/s in the opposite direction of the blue cart

Which statements are true concerning Newton's law of gravitation? The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.

The gravitational force is an attractive force.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a long range force of attraction between any two masses.

Mathematically given as :

F=G.\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}

where:

m_1 & m_2 are the masses

r= distance between the center of mass of the two objects.

G= gravitational constant = 6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}

From the above relation of eq. (1) it is clear that,

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance and directly proportional to the masses.

The mass of an object is independent of its size due to the fact that density may vary for different objects.

The force of gravity varies with height as:

\frac{g}{g_x} =(\frac{r_x}{r} )^2

where:

g=9.8\,m.s^{-2}

g_x= gravity at height r_x of the center of mass of the object from the center of mass of the earth.

and we know that force:

F=m\times g

where: m= mass of the object.

An electric fan is turned off, and its angular velocity decreases uniformly from 500 rev/min to 200 rev/min in 4.00 s.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

a) -1.25 rev/s² and 23.3 rev

b)  2.67s

Explanation:

a) ωФ_o_z = (500 rev/min)(1min/ 60s) => 8.333 rev/s

ωФ_Z= (200 rev/min)(1min/ 60s) => 3.333rev/s

time 't'= 4 s

angular acceleration 'αФ_Z'=?

constant angular acceleration equation is given by,

ωФ_Z= ωФ_o_z + αФ_Zt

αФ_Z= (ωФ_Z - ωФ_o_z )/t => (3.333-8.333)/4

αФ_Z= -1.25 rev/s²

θ-θФ_o = ωФ_o_z t + 1/2αФ_Zt²

      =(8.333)(4) + 1/2 (-1.25)(4)²

      =23.3 rev

b) ωФ_Z=0   (comes to rest)

ωФ_o_z = 3.333 rev/s

αФ_Z= -1.25 rev/s²

ωФ_Z= ωФ_o_z + αФ_Zt

t= (ωФ_Z - ωФ_o_z)/αФ_Z => (0- 3.333)/-1.25

t= 2.67s
