Which of the following is a compound machine?

Marcus attends a night program at an observatory to learn more about the solar system. He learns that the solar system contains

Lesechka [4]

Answer: D meteoroid

Explanation:

Meteoroid is the smallest among them. It is a tiny asteroid or the broken-off crumb of comets and sometimes planets. It ranges in size from a grain of sand to boulders 3 feet (1 meter) wide. When meteoroids collide with a planet's atmosphere, they become meteors. If those meteors survive the atmosphere and hit the planet's surface, their remains are called meteorites

A 500 lb steel beam is lifted up by a crane to a height of 100 ft and is held there.

Nadya [2.5K]

A. How much work is being done to hold the beam in place?

Work is the product of Force and Displacement. Since there is no Displacement involved in just holding the beam in place, hence the work is zero.

B. How much work was done to lift the beam?

In this case, force is simply equal to weight or mass times gravity. Hence the work is:

Work = weight * displacement

Work = 500 lbf * 100 ft

Work = 50,000 lbf * ft

C. How much work would it take if the steel beam were raised from 100 ft to 200ft?

The displacement is still 100 ft since 200 – 100 = 100 ft, hence the work done is still similar in B which is:

A radio controlled car rolls 10 m south,then reverse direction and rolls 8m north.The car has traveled a distance of 18 m and ha

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The total displacement of the car is 2 meters south

Explanation:

As the car went south 10m, and then went back over it initial path for 8 meters, the actual distance registered in the car's odometer will be 18 m, but as far as vector displacement in its final position, this will be 2 meters south (10m -8m=2m).

Notice that the displacement vector is defined as the final position minus the initial position, which gives a distance of 2 from the origin, in the suoth direction.meters

Two particles are traveling through space. At time t the first particle is at the point (−1 + t, 4 − t, −1 + 2t) and the second

Pie

Answer:

Yes, the paths of the two particles cross.

Location of path intersection = ( 1 , 2 , 3)

Explanation:

In order to find the point of intersection, we need to set both locations equal to one another. It should be noted however, that the time for each particle can vary as we are finding the point where the <u>paths</u> meet, not the point where the particles meet themselves.

So, we can name the time of the first particle $T_F$ , and the time of the second particle $T_S$ .

Setting the locations equal, we get the following equations to solve for $T_F$ and $T_S$ :

$(-1 + T_F) = (-7 + 2T_S)$ Equation 1

$(4 - T_F) = (-6 + 2T_S)$ Equation 2

$(-1 + 2T_F) = (-1 + T_S)$ Equation 3

Solving these three equations simultaneously we get:

$T_F =$ 2 seconds

$T_S =$ 4 seconds

Since, we have an answer for when the trajectories cross, we know for a fact that they indeed do cross.

The point of crossing can be found by using the value of $T_F$ or $T_S$ in the location matrices. Doing this for the first particle we get:

Location of path intersection = ( -1 + 2 , 4 - 2 , -1 + 2(2) )

Location of path intersection = ( 1 , 2 , 3)
