Answer:

1) D. The gear decreases resistance force

2) B. A car opener

Explanation:

1): A bicycle uses a gear to decrease the resistance force as when the gears are shifted, the chain moves from a larger ring to a smaller one thus reducing the surface area of the ring as well as friction which results into a greater speed by applying same amount of effort.

2): As a compound machine is a combination of more than one simple machine. Out of all the options, a car opener is said to be a compound machine as it consist of a lever, screw, wedge and axle and wheel.

These are some of the simple machines which combines to make a complex machine ( car opener ).

A boy throws a ball vertically up it returns the ground after 10 seconds find the maximum height reached by the ball

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Approximately $122.625\; {\rm m}$ (assuming that $g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ , the ball was launched from ground level, and that the drag on the ball is negligible.)

Explanation:

Let $v_{0}$ denote the velocity at which the ball was thrown upward.

If the drag (air friction) on the ball is negligible, the ball would land with a velocity of exactly $(-v_{0})$ . The velocity of the ball would be changed from $v$ to $(-v_{0})\!$ (such that $\Delta v = (-v_{0}) - v_{0} = (-2\, v_{0})$ ) within $t = 10\; {\rm s}$ .

Also because the drag on the ball is negligible, the acceleration of the ball would be $a = -g = -9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ . Thus:

$\Delta v = a\, t = 10\; {\rm s} \times (-9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}) = -98.1\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Since $\Delta v = (-2\, v_{0})$ :

$-2\, v_{0} = \Delta v = -98.1\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ .

$\begin{aligned}v_{0} &= \frac{-98.1\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}}{-2}= 49.05\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

The ball reaches maximum height when its velocity is $v_{1} = 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ . Apply the SUVAT equation $x = ({v_{1}}^{2} - {v_{0}}^{2}) / (2\, a)$ to find the displacement $x$ between the original position (ground level, where $v_{0} = 49.05\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ ) and the max-height position of the ball (where $v_{1} = 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ .)

$\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{(0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})^{2} - (49.05\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})^{2}}{2 \times (-9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}})} \\ &\approx 122.625\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .
