The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the radius of the wheel divided by the radius of the axle. On wheel and axle A,

the wheel and axle are very close in size. On wheel and axle B, the radius of the wheel is much greater than the radius of the axle.
Which wheel and axle has the greater mechanical advantage?

Answer:

Wheel and axle B

Explanation:

It is given that the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the radius of the wheel divided by the radius of the axle.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

$MA=\dfrac{r_w}{r_a}$ .................(1)

On wheel and axle A, the wheel and axle are very close in size while on wheel and axle B, the radius of the wheel is much greater than the radius of the axle.

From equation (1) it is clear that the mechanical advantage is directly proportional to the radius of wheel.

So, the mechanical advantage of wheel and axle B is greater.

A train at a constant 79.0 km/h moves east for 27.0 min, then in a direction 50.0° east of due north for 29.0 min, and then west

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Magnitude of avg velocity, $|v_{avg}| = 18.9 km/h$

$\theta' = 56.85^{\circ}$

Given:

Constant speed of train, v = 79 km/h

Time taken in East direction, t = 27 min = $\frac{27}{60} h$

Angle, $\theta = 50^{\circ}$

Time taken in $50^{\circ}$ east of due North direction, t' = 29 min = $\frac{29}{60} h$

Time taken in west direction, t'' = 37 min = $\frac{27}{60} h$

Solution:

Now, the displacement, 's' in east direction is given by:

$\vec{s} = vt = 79\times \frac{27}{60} = 35.5\hat{i} km$

Displacement in $50^{\circ}$ east of due North for 29.0 min is given by:

$\vec{s'} = vt'sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + vt'cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}$

$\vec{s'} = 79(\frac{29}{60})sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + 79(\frac{29}{60})cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}$

$\vec{s'} = 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km$

Now, displacement in the west direction for 37 min:

$\vec{s''} = - vt''hat{i} = - 79\frac{37}{60} = - 48.72\hat{i} km$

Now, the overall displacement,

$\vec{s_{net}} = \vec{s} + \vec{s'} + \vec{s''}$

$\vec{s_{net}} = 35.5\hat{i} + 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} - 48.72\hat{i}$

$\vec{s_{net}} = 16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km$

(a) Now, average velocity, $v_{avg}$ is given:

$v_{avg} = \frac{total displacement, \vec{s_{net}}}{total time, t}$

$v_{avg} = \frac{16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j}}{\frac{27 + 29 + 37}{60}}$

$v_{avg} = 10.34\hat{i} + 15.83\hat{j}) km/h$

Magnitude of avg velocity is given by:

$|v_{avg}| = \sqrt{(10.34)^{2} + (15.83)^{2}} = 18.9 km/h$

(b) angle can be calculated as:

$tan\theta' = \frac{15.83}{10.34}$

$\theta' = tan^{- 1}\frac{15.83}{10.34} = 56.85^{\circ}$

A person in a kayak starts paddling, and it accelerates from 0 to 0.61 m/s in a distance of 0.39 m. If the combined mass of the

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

35.3 N

Explanation:

U = 0, V = 0.61 m/s, s = 0.39 m

Let a be the acceleration.

Use third equation of motion

V^2 = u^2 + 2 as

0.61 × 0.61 = 0 + 2 × a × 0.39

a = 0.477 m/s^2

Force = mass × acceleration

F = 74 × 0.477 = 35.3 N
