Hello!

Explanation:

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Simple machines have few or no moving parts. They make work easier.

  1. Inclined plane
  2. Wedge
  3. Screw
  4. Lever
  5. Wheel and axle
  6. Pulley

Inclined plane is a sloping surface, such as a ramp. Inclined plane make it easier to lift objects. The distance is greater, but the amount of force used is less. The amount of work done is the same. Wedge is used to split things apart. Force is applied to the large area of the wedge. The force is concentrated on a smaller area at the pointed end. The wedge looks like two inclined planes placed back to back. A screw can hold things together. The threading grips materials. The threading on a screw looks like an inclined plane spiraling around the outside of the screw. Large screw are also used to lift things. A car jack lifts a car by using a large screw. A lever is a strong bar that turns about a fulcrum, or fixed point. It can be used to lift heavy objects. Force applied at one end is transmitted to the other end. A lever can change the direction of a force. Moving the position of the fulcrum affects how much force is needed. A wheel and axle consists of two circular objects of different sizes that are connected. The smaller-diameter object, the axle, is a rod that goes through the wheel and lets the wheel turn. When the axle is turned, the wheel moves a greater distance, but less force is needed to move it. A pulley changes the direction of a force. A pulley consists of a grooved wheel and a rope. Pulling down on the rope lifts objects. A construction crane uses a series of pulleys. A flagpole has a pulley at the top.

Hope this helps!

A small ball of mass 2.00 kilograms is moving at a velocity 1.50 meters/second. It hits a larger, stationary ball of mass 5.00 k
rewona [7]

The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is

                             KE  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                                     = (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)

                                     =    (1 kg)  (2.25 m²/s²)

                                     =        2.25 joules.

Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:

                     Energy is never created or destroyed. 
                     If it seems that some energy disappeared,
                     it actually had to go somewhere.
                     And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
                     it actually had to come from somewhere.

The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision.  The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.

We know for newton's 2nd law of motion that the force on an object is equal to the mass of the object times the acceleration of
Dmitrij [34]

         Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

           5 N  =  (9 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side
by  9 kg :              5 N / 9 kg  =  acceleration

                           Acceleration = (5/9)  kg-meter/sec²-kg

                                             =  0.555...  m/s²   .

what is the acceleration of each body of mass 5kg rests on a frictionless table and is connected to a cable that passes over a p
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

6.53 m/s²

Explanation:

Let m₁ = 5 kg and m₂ = 10 kg. The figure is attached and free body diagrams of the objects are also attached.

Both objects (m₁ and m₂) have the same magnitude of acceleration(a). Let g be the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s². Hence:

T = m₁a               (1)

m₂g - T = m₂a    (2)

substituting T = m₁a in equation 2:

m₂g - m₁a = m₂a

m₂a + m₁a = m₂g

a(m₁ + m₂) = m₂g

a = m₂g / (m₁ + m₂)

a = (10 kg * 9.8 m/s²) / (10 kg + 5 kg) = 6.53 m/s²

Both objects have an acceleration of 6.53 m/s²
