Explain velocity ratio. Explain and define the efficiency of a machine​

Physics
1 answer:
Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago
8 0
Velocity ratio is also defined as the ratio of a distance through which any part of a machine moves, to that which the driving part moves during the same time. An object has a mechanical advantage if it exerts a force higher than the velocity ratio.

What is the current in a series circuit that has two resistors (4.0 ohms and 7.5 ohms) and a power source of 9.0 volts?
Olin [163]

-- First, we have to decide how to handle the two resistors.

The effective resistance of resistors in series is the sum
of their individual resistances.  That is, they act like a single
resistor, whose resistance is the sum of all of them.

So in this question, the 4.0 ohms and the 7.5 ohms act like a
single resistor of 11.5 ohms.

-- The current in the circuit is

                       (the supply voltage) / (the total resistance)

                   =                (9.0 volts)  /  (11.5 ohms)

                   =                      0.783... Ampere        (rounded)

In the compound MgS, the sulfide ion has 1. lost one electrons. 2. lost two electrons. 3. gained one electron. 4. gained two ele
never [62]

Answer:

4.has gained two electrons

Explanation:

There exist electrovalent bonding the compound MgS . In electrovalent bonding, there is a transfer of electrons from the metal to non-metal.

Magnesium atom has an atomic number 12 and its electron configuration is 2,8,2

Sulfur atom , a non-metal has atomic number of 16 and its electron configuration = 2,8,6

This means that magnesium as a metal needs to loose two electrons from its valence shell to attain its stable structure.Also sulfur requires two more electron to achieve its octet structure.

Hence a transfer of electrons will take place from magnesium atom to sulfur atom, sulfur gaining two electrons.

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?
tatiyna
Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).

What is the maximum acceleration the belt can have without the crate slipping? express your answer using two significant figures
Montano1993 [528]

To prevent the crate from slipping, the maximum force that the belt can exert on the crate must be equal to the static friction force.


Ff = 0.5 * 16 * 9.8 = 78.4 N

a = 4.9 m/s^2


If acceleration of the belt exceeds the value determined in the previous question, what is the acceleration of the crate?


In this situation, the kinetic friction force is causing the crate to decelerate. So the net force on the crate is 78.4 N minus the kinetic friction force.


Ff = 0.28 * 16 * 9.8 = 43.904 N

Net force = 78.4 – 43.904 = 34.496 N

To determine the acceleration, divide by the mass of the crate.

a = 34.496 ÷ 16 = 2.156 m/s^2
