To calculate the ideal mechanical advantage for an inclined plane, divide th length of the incline by the height of the incline.
Therefore; IMA = L/h
L= 3.0 m, while h =1.0 m
IMA = 3/1
= 3
Therefore the IMA of the ramp is 3
This means the ramp increases the force that is being exerted by 3 times.

an elevator suspended by a vertical cable is moving downward but slowing down. the tension in the cable must be:

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

F = M a is the vector equation involved

F = T - M g are the forces acting on the elevator (scalar equation)

T - M g = M a

T = M (a + g) remember this a scalar

If a is slowing down then it must have a positive acceleration upwards

Therefor the tension in the cable must be greater than zero

When the tension increases to M g, a has increased to zero

For a to be zero, no acceleration, T = M g

Solve the following quadratic equations:2x² - 4x - 9 = 0 x₊ = 1 + √22/2Answersx_ = 1 - √22/2

Pavel [41]

The root quadratic equation of $2x^{2} - 4x - 9 = 0$ is $x=\frac{2+\sqrt{22}}{2},\:x=\frac{2-\sqrt{22}}{2}$

What is the formula used to calculate the quadratic equation?

To solve the quadratic equation use the formula of $x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Find the quadratic equation by using the formula ?

On comparing with $2x^{2} - 4x - 9 = 0$

We get , $a=2 , b=-4 , c=-9$

$D=b^{2} +7\\\\\\=(-4)^{2} +7*2*(-9)\\\\=-16-126\\\\=110$

By using the formula,

For a quadratic equation of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ the solutions are

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$X==\frac{-\left(-4\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-4\right)^2-4\c* \:2\left(-9\right)}}{2\c* \:2}\\\\\sqrt{\left(-4\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\left(-9\right)}\\\\$

Apply rule,

$-(-a)=a\\\\=\sqrt{\left(-4\right)^2+4\cdot \:2\cdot \:9}\\\\$

Apply exponent rule,

$(-a)^{n} =a^{n}$ if n is even

$(-4)^{2} =4^{2}$

$\sqrt{4^2+4\cdot \:2\cdot \:9}$

Multiply the numbers :

$4*2*9=72\\\\\sqrt{4^2+4\cdot \:2\cdot \:9}\\\\4^{2} =16\\\\=\sqrt{16+72}\\\\$

Add the number $=\sqrt{88}$
