Artist 52 [7]2 years ago

<span>In a real machine, the work output is always less than the work input is true. The answer is letter A. it follows the law of entropy where no energy can be converted completely into work. Under this law, Carnot’s theorem states that Carnot’s engine can perform 100% of work. However, no such engine has ever succeeded the conversion of work into 100%. The greatest efficiency so far is at 80%.  Because there will always be factors that could affect the conversion of work. </span>

A block of mass m is placed on a smooth wedge of inclination θ . The whole system is accelerated horizontally so that the block
Helen [10]

Answer: mg/Cosθ

Explanation:

Taking horizontal acceleration of wedge as 'a'

FCosΘ = FsinΘ

F = mass(m) × acceleration(a) = ma

For horizontal resolution g = 0

Therefore,

Horizontal = Vertical

maCosΘ = mgSinΘ

aCosΘ = gSinΘ

a = gSinΘ/CosΘ

Recall from trigonometry :

SinΘ/Cosθ = tanΘ

Therefore,

a = gtanΘ

Normal force acing on the wedge:

mgCosΘ + maSinΘ - - - - (y)

Substitute a = gtanΘ into (y)

mgCosΘ + mgtanΘsinΘ

tanΘ = sinΘ/cosΘ

mgCosΘ + mgsinΘ/cosΘsinΘ

mgCosΘ + mgsin^2Θ/cosΘ

Factorizing

mg(Cosθ + sin^2Θ/cosΘ)

Taking the L. C. M

mg[(Cos^2θ + sin^2Θ) /Cosθ]

Recall: Cos^2θ + sin^2Θ = 1

mg[ 1 /Cosθ]

mg/Cosθ

Is there any absolute rest or motion? Describe the types of motion with one example of each type
Cerrena [4.2K]
A body is said to be at absolute rest when that object is in the state of stationary. Absolute motion means a motion that does not depend on anything external to the moving object for its existance.


Absolute motion is motion that does not depend on anything external to the moving object for its existence or specific nature. Absolutists hold that there are many motions that appear the same no matter from what reference frame they are observed.

Parallel to the handle, what is the force of friction acting on the suitcase?
mrs_skeptik [129]
 <span>Lets call F the friction force which will act horizontally backwards. 

As you are travelling at a constant velosity horizontally there is no overall resultant force in this direction. 

ie. the force you pull with will be equal to the friction force resisting you. (you will initially have to have pulled with a greater force than the friction to get the suitcase moving) 

the value of your force pulling is 60 cos26.9 (horizontally) - you should have learnt about resolving forces. 

this must be equal to F 

so 

F=60cos26.9 
F=53.5N

hope this helps you
