Hello!

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

Inclined plane
Wedge
Screw
Lever
Wheel and axle
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!

For a vehicle to negotiate a banked curve in poor weather conditions, where the force of friction f = 0, for a given velocity v

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$R=240m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity $v=25m/s$

Force of friction f = 0

Angle $\theta=15$

Generally the equation for Radius of curvature is mathematically given by

$R=frac{v^2}{tan\theta *g}$

$R=frac{25^2}{tan 15 *9.81}$

$R=240m$

A hockey puck is hit on a frozen lake and starts moving with a speed of 13.60 m/s. Exactly 6.2 s later, its speed is 7.20 m/s. (

stellarik [79]

Answer:

-1.03 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S. I unit of acceleration is m/s².

Mathematically, acceleration is expressed as

a = (v-u)/t ........................ Equation 1

Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: u = 13.60 m/s, v = 7.20 m/s t = 6.2 s.

Substituting into equation 2

a = (7.20-13.60)/6.2

a = -6.4/6.2

a = -1.03 m/s²

Note: a is negative because, the hockey puck is decelerating.

Hence the average acceleration = -1.03 m/s²

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?

Vadim26 [7]

When someone fails to wear a seat belt the passenger becoming a projectile the force a person will be subjected to for a passenger weighting 100 pounds, and the car is traveling at 60 mph would be the same as 6000 pounds. thats like hitting a brick wall. so is other words put ur seat belt on.

hope this helped (:

Well, the density of the water is
${1000 \frac{kg}{ {m}^{3} } }$
so i believe that is what the question is asking for :)
