using a lever to move a rock reduces the force a person must exert. what does it do to the work the person must do?

1 answer:

3 0

Using a lever to move a rock reduces the force a person must exert . It also reduces the work (effort ) the person must do.

Using a lever decreases the input force required to lift up the load, for example if a force of 900N is required to lift the load without a lever . Using the lever the input force decreases to 500N and as we all know by the formulae of work done :

Work done ∝ force applied

By this equation we can conclude that if the force to be applied on the load reduces by the use of a lever therefore the work to be done on the load will also reduce .

From the window of a building, a ball is tossed from a height y0 above the ground with an initial velocity of 8.10 m/s and angle

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Part a)

$y = 88.5 m$

Part b)

$v_x = 7.7 m/s$

$v_y = 2.5 m/s$

Part c)

equation of position in x direction is given as

$x = v_x t$

equation of position in y direction is given as

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Part d)

$x = 30.8 m$

Part e)

H = 88.5 m

Part f)

t = 1.2 s

Explanation:

As we know that ball is projected with speed

v = 8.10 m/s at an angle 18 degree below the horizontal

so we will have

$v_x = 8.10 cos18$

$v_x = 7.7 m/s$

$v_y = 8.10 sin18$

$v_y = 2.5 m/s$

Part a)

Since it took t =4 s to reach the ground

so its initial y coordinate is given as

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}a_y t^2$

$y = 2.5(4) + \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(4^2)$

$y = 88.5 m$

Part b)

components of the velocity is given as

$v_x = 8.10 cos18$

$v_x = 7.7 m/s$

$v_y = 8.10 sin18$

$v_y = 2.5 m/s$

Part c)

equation of position in x direction is given as

$x = v_x t$

equation of position in y direction is given as

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Part d)

distance where it will strike the floor is given as

$x = v_x t$

$x = 7.7 \times 4$

$x = 30.8 m$

Part e)

Height from which it is thrown is same as initial y coordinate of the ball

so it is given as

H = 88.5 m

Part f)

time taken by ball to reach 10 m below is given as

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$10 = 2.5t + \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2$

t = 1.2 s

Which occurs when a wave is reflected?

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: The wave can flip upside down.

Reflection is the bending of a wave when it cannot pass through. For example, plain mirrors which are flat, a ray of light hits the mirror and is reflected from the mirror since it cannot pass through

When reflection occurs the speed and frequency of the wave does not change but the wave is flipped upside down.

The speed does not change because speed is affected by the change in medium the frequency also remains the same since the energy of the wave does not change.
