How does an inclined plane affect the effort needed to move a load vertically?

Physics
1 answer:
VashaNatasha [74]3 years ago
5 0

If we pull an object vertically upwards then we need to apply a force which is equal in the magnitude of the weight of the object

F = mg

now when we pull the same object upwards along an inclined plane with angle then we require a force which will balance the component of weight along the inclined

so it is given as

F' = mgsin\theta

so as if we compare the two forces we can say that since the value of sine is always less than 1 for an angle less than 90 degree

so in the 2nd case when we pull the object along the inclined plane it will require less effort

so correct answer is

<em>A. reduce effort</em>

A wheel, starting from rest, rotates with a constant angular acceleration of 2.80 rad/s2. During a certain 5.00 s interval, it t
igomit [66]

Answer:

a) time t1 = 2.14s

b) initial angular speed w1 = 6 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that;

Initial Angular velocity = w1

Angular distance = s = 65 rad

time = t = 5 s

Angular acceleration a = 2.80 rad/s^2

Using the equation of motion;

s = w1t + (at^2)/2

w1 = (s-0.5(at^2))/t

Substituting the values;

w1 = (65 - (0.5×2.8×5^2))/5

w1 = 6rad/s

Time to reach w1 from rest;

w1 = at1

t1 = w1/a = 6/2.8 = 2.14s

a) time t1 = 2.14s

b) initial angular speed w1 = 6 rad/s

Which type of energy is water held back by a dam?
stepladder [879]

Answer:    hydroelectric dams

Explanation: Enormous energy is stored in water held back by hydroelectric dams. The energy is transformed into (a form of kinetic energy) as it falls across the dam. The falling water strikes the blades of a turbine and makes them spin, and the then turns the shaft of a generator.

What acceleration will you give to a 24.5 kg
Ludmilka [50]

Heya!!

For calculate aceleration, lets applicate second law of Newton:

                                                   \boxed{F=ma}

                                                 <u>Δ   Being   Δ</u>

                                             F = Force = 78,3 N

                                            m = Mass = 24,5 kg

                                             a = Aceleration = ?

⇒ Let's replace according the formula and clear "a":

\boxed{a=78,3\ N / 24,5\ kg}

⇒ Resolving

\boxed{a=3.19\ m/s^{2}}

Result:

The aceleration is <u>3,19 meters per second squared (m/s²)</u>

Good Luck!!

You have two identical beakers A and B. Each beaker is filled with water to the same height. Beaker B has a rock floating at the
gregori [183]

Answer:

a) if we assume that the water does not spill, Beaker B weighs more than beaker S, or which in this case Beaker A weighs more

b) If it is spilled in water the weight of the two beakers is the same

Explanation:

The beaker weight is

 beaker A

          W_total = W_ empty + W_water

Beaker B

            W_total = W_ empty + W_water + W_roca

a) if we assume that the water does not spill, Beaker B weighs more than beaker S, or which in this case Beaker A weighs more

b) If it is spilled in water, the weight of the two beakers is the same because the amount of liquid spilled and equal to the weight of the stone, therefore the two beakers weigh the same
