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!

The angular speed of the rotor in a centrifuge increases from 420 to 1420 rad/s in a time of 5.00 s. (a) Obtain the angle throug
9966 [12]

Answer:

a) θ = 2500 radians

b) α = 200 rad/s²

Explanation:

Using equations of motion,

θ = (w - w₀)t/2

θ = angle turned through = ?

w = final angular velocity = 1420 rad/s

w₀ = initial angular velocity = 420

t = time taken = 5s

θ = (1420 - 420) × 5/2 = 2500 rads

Again,

w = w₀ + αt

α = angular accelaration = ?

1420 = 420 + 5α

α = 1000/5 = 200 rad/s²

A gas is placed in a storage tank at a pressure of 49.2 atm at 39.0C . As a safety device, a small metal plug in the tank is mad
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The maximum pressure that will be attained in the tank before the plug melts and releases gas should be less than 74.26 atm.

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

P_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

P_1=49.2 atm\\T_1=39.0^oC = 312.15 K\\P_2=?\\T_2=198^oC=471.15 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{49.2atm }{312.15 K}=\frac{P_2}{471.15 K}\\\\P_2=74.26 atm

The maximum pressure that will be attained in the tank before the plug melts and releases gas should be less than 74.26 atm.
