A ramp is 1.0 m high and 3.0 m long. What is the IMA of the ramp?

1 answer:

4 0

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.

A 200 kg weather rocket is loaded with 100 kg of fuel and fired straight up. It accelerates upward at 35 m/s2 for 35 s , then ru

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

T = 295.57 s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the rocket = 200 Kg

mass of the fuel = 100 Kg

acceleration = 35 m/s²

time, t = 35 s

time taken by the rocket to hit the ground, = ?

Final speed of the rocket when fuel is empty

using equation of motion

v = u + a t

v = 0 + 35 x 35

v = 1225 m/s

height of the rocket where fuel is empty

v² = u² + 2 a s

1225² = 0 + 2 x 35 x h₁

h₁ = 21437.5 m

After 35 s the rocket will be moving upward till the final velocity becomes zero.

Now, using equation of motion to find the height after 35 s

v² = u² + 2 g h₂

0² = 1225² + 2 x (-9.8) h₂

h₂ = 76562.5 m

total height = h₁ + h₂

= 76562.5 m + 21437.5 m = 98000 m

now, time taken by before the rocket hit the ground

using equation of motion

$s = u t +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$-13500 = 1225 t -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times t^2$

negative sign is used because the distance travel by the rocket is downward.

4.9 t² - 1225 t - 13500 = 0

$t = \dfrac{-(-1225)\pm \sqrt{1225^2 - 4\times 4.9 \times (-13500)}}{2\times 4.9}$

t = 260.57 s

neglecting the negative sign

total time the rocket was in air

T = t₁ + t₂

T = 35 + 260.57

T = 295.57 s

Time for which rocket was in air is equal to 295.57 s.

Discuss the effects of breaking a food chain.

Tom [10]

Explanation:

Food chain is linear sequence of the organisms through which the nutrients and the energy pass as one organism eats the another.

If one species in the food chain ceases to exist, the other members in rest of chain could cease to exist too or may increase in population which can affect other food chains. (Breaking of food chain).

This is because the animals in the food chain are dependent on the nutrient present in the another.

For example in the food chain,

Grass ---- Deer ------ Lion

If all deer extinct, the lion will die as they will have nothing to feed on and the population of grass increases.

How long will it take to travel 200 m traveling at 10 m/s? Follow example below.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

$variables - d = 200m \: v = 10 m {s}^{ - 1} \\ equation \: - v = \frac{d}{t} \\ 10 = \frac{200}{t} \\ cross \: multiply \\ 10t = 200 \\ \frac{10t}{10} = \frac{200}{10} \\ t = 20s$

It will take 10 seconds to travel 200m at a speed of 10m/s

Explanation:

HOPE THAT THIS IS HELPFUL.

HAVE A GREAT DAY.

An athlete at the gym holds a 3.0 kg steel ball in his hand. His arm is 60 cm long and has a mass of 3.8 kg, with the center of

Serggg [28]

Answer:

(a) τ = 26.58 Nm

(b) τ = 18.79 Nm

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the torque due to the ball in hand:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₁ = Torque due to ball in hand = ?

F₁ = Force due to ball in hand = m₁g = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 29.4 N

d₁ = perpendicular distance between ball and shoulder = 60 cm = 0.6 m

τ₁ = (29.4 N)(0.6 m)

τ₁ = 17.64 Nm

Now, we calculate the torque due to the his arm:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₂ = Torque due to arm = ?

F₂ = Force due to arm = m₂g = (3.8 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 37.24 N

d₂ = perpendicular distance between center of mass and shoulder = 40% of 60 cm = (0.4)(60 cm) = 24 cm = 0.24 m

τ₂ = (37.24 N)(0.24 m)

τ₂ = 8.94 Nm

Since, both torques have same direction. Therefore, total torque will be:

τ = τ₁ + τ₂

τ = 17.64 Nm + 8.94 Nm

τ = 26.58 Nm

(b)

Now, the arm is at 45° below horizontal line.

First we find the torque due to the ball in hand:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₁ = Torque due to ball in hand = ?

F₁ = Force due to ball in hand = m₁g = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 29.4 N

42.42 cm = 0.4242 m

τ₁ = (29.4 N)(0.4242 m)

τ₁ = 12.47 Nm

Now, we calculate the torque due to the his arm:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₂ = Torque due to arm = ?

F₂ = Force due to arm = m₂g = (3.8 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 37.24 N

d₂ = perpendicular distance between center of mass and shoulder = 40% of (60 cm)(Cos 45°) = (0.4)(42.42 cm) = 16.96 cm = 0.1696 m

τ₂ = (37.24 N)(0.1696 m)

τ₂ = 6.32 Nm

Since, both torques have same direction. Therefore, total torque will be:

τ = τ₁ + τ₂

τ = 12.47 Nm + 6.32 Nm

τ = 18.79 Nm

Luda [366]

Answer:

12,25 km/h

≈ 3,4 m/s

Explanation:

v = d/t

= 12250m/h

= 12,25km/h

or

v = d/t

= 12250m/h

1h = 60m×60s = 3600s

= 12250m/3600s

≈ 3,4 m/s
