What is the major factor controlling how levers work?

Physics
1 answer:
Gekata [30.6K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Displacement between Fulcrum, Job and Force

Explanation:

The employment and use of levers is simple. Levers reduce the force required to do a task by introducing the concept of moment.

There are there components in a simple lever.

1) The Fulcrum

2) The Job (Load)

3) The Force (Effort)

Typically if it weren't for levers then the three points/components would be at the same point. A lever creates a displacement between all these three components create moment. The higher the displacement between the three the lower the force (effort) required to do the job (lift the load).

A railroad car moves under a grain elevator at a constant speed of 3.20 m/s. Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min.
dedylja [7]

Answer:

F = 768 N                  

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the elevator, v = 3.2 m/s

Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min, \dfrac{dm}{dt}=240\ kg/min = 4\ kg/s

We need to find the magnitude of force needed to keep the car moving constant speed. The relation between the momentum and the force is given by :

F=\dfrac{dp}{dt}

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}+v\dfrac{dm}{dt}

Since, the speed is constant,

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}

F=v\dfrac{dm}{dt}

F=3.2\times 240

F = 768 N

So, the magnitude of force need to keep the car is 768 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Identify the pros and cons of using mirrors versus lenses in each of the following applications:
disa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

A lens – An object, usually made of glass, that focuses or defocuses the light that passes through it.

A mirror – A smooth surface, usually made of glass with reflective material painted on the underside, that reflects light so as to give an image of what is in front of it.

Telescope – monocular optical instrument possessing magnification for observing distant objects, especially in astronomy.

Refracting telescopes – are telescopes that use lenses are and those that use concave parabolic mirrors are called reflecting telescopes. 

Pros of mirror telescope

• They are easier to construct and not expensive to produce

• made larger and more durable (more light can be directed to the eyepiece which is good)

• cannot have any occlusions 

• mirrors have less spherical aberration

• reflect all wavelengths of light equally

• more magnification power for cheaper version

Cons of mirror prisms

• it must also be realigned after cleaning, which can be expensive - maintenance disadvantage

• Reflective Surface Disadvantage

Pros of Lenses telescope

• Easy to use

• More reliable

Cons of Lens telescope

• are not easy to construct and expensive to produce

• May have occlusions

• spherical aberration are more

• Doesnt reflect wavelengths of light equally they bend light differently

• Less magnification power for cheaper version

• heavy

• Longer body

Pro of Mirror periscope

• it helps us to see further than our view that is what is above us or sometimes even below us.

•Light weight

disadvantage:

• it may not work properly and show distorted images due to fog. ; Some have a narrow field of view ; May be detected by others Ungainly (long, takes up space),

•Not as rugged as prisms.

• Maintenance of reflection surface

Pros of Prism periscopes

• incorporated lenses for magnification and function as telescopes.

• They typically employ prisms and total internal reflection instead of mirrors, because prisms, which do not require coatings on the reflecting surface, are much more rugged than mirrors.

• May be fitted with additional optical capabilities such as range-finding and targeting.

Cons.

•mechanically disadvantage: Complex optically ; Some have a narrow field of view ; May be detected by others 

Ungainly (long, takes up space)

• Heavy weight

Lens - Terrestrial telescope

Pro: An advantage is that it makes it possible to vary the magnification of the telescope.

Cons- This system has the disadvantage increasing the length of the telescope.

Mirror- Terrestrial telescope (Cassegrain)

Pro: Good for distant terrestrial viewing.

greater magnification is attained.

They are more shorter

Cons- It is not what people expect a telescope to look like.

Slight light loss due to secondary mirror obstruction compared to refractors. Generally not suited for most terrestrial applications nor for to view objects in the sky.

The distance of Saturn from the sun is:<br><br> &lt; 1 A.U.<br> &gt; 1 A.U.<br> = 1 A.U.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

1 astronomical unit is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun; approximately 150 million km. At its closest point, Saturn is 9 AU, and then at its most distant point, it's 10.1 AU. Saturn's average distance from the Sun is 9.6 AU. We have written many articles about Saturn for Universe Today.
