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 school bus takes 0.530 h to reach the school from your house. If the average velocity of the bus is 19.0 km/h to the east, wha

kifflom [539]

Answer:

$x_{distance}=10.07km$

Explanation:

Given data

time=0.530 h

Average velocity Vavg=19.0 km/s

To find

Displacement Δx

Solution

The Formula for average velocity is given as

$V_{avg}=(x_{distance} )/(t_{time} )\\ x_{distance}=V_{avg}*(t_{time} )\\x_{distance}=(19.0km/h)*(0.530h)\\x_{distance}=10.07km$

The colour of star depend on its temperature, why?

taurus [48]

<em>Another key factor that determines a star's colour is its temperature. As stars become hotter, the overall radiated energy increases, and the peak of the curve changes to shorter wavelengths. To put it another way, when a star heats up, the light it produces moves toward the blue end of the spectrum.</em>

A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant (net) acceleration 29.4 m/s2 m /

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The maximum height is 2881.2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = 29.4 m/s²

Time = 7.00 s

We need to calculate the distance

Using equation of motion

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

Put the value into the formula

$s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times29.4\times7^2$

$s=720.3\ m$

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula of velocity

$v=a\times t$

Put the value into the formula

$v=29.4\times7$

$v=205.8\ m/s$

We need to calculate the height

Using formula of height

$H=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$

Put the value into the formula

$H=\dfrac{(205.8)^2}{2\times9.8}$

$H=2160.9\ m$

We need to calculate the maximum height

Using formula for maximum height

$H'=H+s$

Put the value into the formula

$H'=2160.9+720.3$

$H'=2881.2\ m$

Hence, The maximum height is 2881.2 m.

Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g

djyliett [7]

Answer:

a) m = 69.0 kg

b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law

F = m a

m = F / a

m = 60.0 / 0.870

m = 69.0 kg

b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved

p₀ = p_f

m v = M v '

v ’= $\frac{m}{M} \ v$

so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.

One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.

5. From the definition of work, explain why only the vertical height of the stairs is measured. Hint: Think of the data table co

natulia [17]

The motivation behind why the vertical stature of the stairs is the main thing measured is that it uncovers to us how much gravity is up against the individual and their weight, so we require this data to decide how much vitality and power we have to get up the stairs.
