Answer:

Simple machine: pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow

Compound machine: sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane.

Explanation:

Simple machine is the simplest device to use mechanical advantages. It has simplest mechanism to multiply the magnitude of force.

So, pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow are the example of simple machine because their mechanism is simplest.

Compound machine is a device that is made up of more than one simple machine.

so, sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane are example of compound machine because these devices shows more than one machine in it.

Thus, classification is as follows:

Simple machine: pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow

Compound machine: sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane.

A rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of 25.4 m/s^2 for 3.39 s. It runs out of fuel at the end of the 3

kolbaska11 [484]

Explanation:

Initial speed of the rocket, u = 0

Acceleration of the rocket, $a=25.4\ m/s^2$

Time taken, t = 3.39 s

Let v is the final velocity of the rocket when it runs out of fuels. Using the equation of kinematics as :

$v=u+at$

$v=25.4\times 3.39=86.10\ m/s$

Let x is the initial position of the rocket. Using third equation of kinematics as :

$v^2=u^2+2ax_o$

$x_o=\dfrac{v^2}{2a}$

$x_o=\dfrac{86.10^2}{2\times 25.4}=145.92\ m$

Let $x_o$ is the position at the maximum height. Again using equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2a(x-x_o)$

Now $a=-g$ and v and u will interchange

$u^2=2g(x-x_o)$

$x=x_o+\dfrac{u^2}{2g}$

$x=145.92+\dfrac{(86.10)^2}{2\times 9.8}$

x = 524.14 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.
