What is the mechanical advantage of a nail puller where you exert a force 45 cm from the pivot and the nail is 1.8 cm on the oth
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the distance of the input load (Li)from the pivot to the output load applied to the pivot(Lo)

MA = Li/Le

Given;

Li = 45cm

Lo = 1.8cm

MA = 45/1.8

MA = 25

Hence the mechanical advantage is 25

Also MA is expressed in terms of the force ratio which is the ratio of the Load to the effort applied.

MA = Load/Effort

Given

Load = 1250N

MA = 25

Effort = ?

Substitute

25 = 1250/Effort

Effort = 1250/25

Effort = 50N

Hence the minimum force exerted on the load is 50N

A glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap. The absolute pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the bottle is 1.90 x 105 P
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 34.59 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Inside pressure P_{in}= 1.90\times10^{5}\ Pa

Area A=3.90\times10^{-4}\ m^2

Outside pressure = 1 atm

We need to calculate the magnitude of the force

Using formula of force

F_{net}=F_{in}-F_{out}

F_{net}=(P_{in}-P_{out})A

Where, P_{in} =inside Pressure

P_{out} =outside Pressure

A = area

Put the value into the formula

F_{net}=(1.90\times10^{5}-1.013\times10^{5})3.90\times10^{-4}

F_{net}=34.59\ N

Hence, The magnitude of the force is 34.59 N.

An ice boat is coasting along a frozen lake. Friction between the ice and the boat is negligible, and so is air resistance. Noth
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

(A) No

(B) Speed decreases

Explanation:

(A) since there is nothing propelling the boat and the friction between the ice and the boat and also air resistance is negligible the net force of the system in the horizontal direction is zero and hence there is no change in the horizontal momentum of the boat.

(B) Since the person had not velocity in the horizontal direction before landing on the boat but now has one after landing on the boat, the speed of the boat will decrease because the momentum has to be conserved (remember there is no change in it).
