Answer:

a third class lever

Explanation:

The third class or interpower lever is a lever that enables fast and dynamic movements. It places the power between the resistance and the support, so the resistance arm is longer than the power.

It is the most frequent type of lever in the human body and as an example we can put the action of the brachial biceps in the flexion of the elbow, where the biceps is inserted in the forearm between the elbow that is behind and the resistance that would be displaced towards the hand by the weight of the load attached to the weight of the forearm.

A good range of movements is achieved although with less force and is the most frequent type of lever in human movement, although the same joint can form different types of lever depending on the type of movement performed .

lord [1]

Distance covered is given as follows

1). 7 km North

2). 5 km North

3). 1 km East

Now total distance covered will be given as

$d = d_1 + d_2 + d_3$

$d = 7 km + 5 km + 1 km$

$d = 13 km$

Now in order to find the displacement we will show all with their directions

$\vec d_1 = 7 + 5 = 12 km$ towards North

$\vec d_2 = 1 km$ towards East

So total displacement is

$\vec d = \vec d_1 + \vec d_2$

$\vec d = 12 \hat j + 1 \hat i$

so net displacement will be

$d = \sqrt{12^2 + 1^2} = 12.04 km$

so displacement is 12.04 km

The loaded cab of an elevator has a mass of 3.0 x 10 3 kg and moves 200 m up the shaft in 20 s at constant speed. At what averag

Alexeev081 [22]

The average rate at which the cable does work is 294,000 J/s.

The given parameters:

mass, m = 3000 kg
height, h = 200 m
time of motion, t = 20 s

The average rate at which the cable does work is calculated as follows;

$P = \frac{E}{t} \\\\P = \frac{mgh}{t} \\\\P = \frac{3000 \times 9.8 \times 200}{20} \\\\P = 294,000 \ J/s$

Thus, the average rate at which the cable does work is 294,000 J/s.

lianna [129]

Answer:

Their efforts would be expressed in units of Joules per second

Explanation:

The unit of their efforts can be derived from the formula of power which is given by the product of mass, acceleration and distance (the product is energy with unit joules) divided by time taken to complete the task (unit is seconds)

Therefore, the unit of their efforts would be joules per second

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object. It is energy in an object due to its motion, position

german

Mechanical energy is made when something is moved. The energy that is moving is kinetic. And potential energy is stored energy. Mechanical energy can be used to store energy and to cause moving energy. For instance: a slingshot. Pulling back the band creates potential energy and releasing it creates kinetic energy.
