Answer:

Mechanical Advantage (MA)

Explanation:

The Mechanical Advantage (MA) of a machine is defined as:

$MA= \frac{F_{out}}{F_{in}}$

where

$F_{out}$ is the output force

$F_{in}$ is the input force

Machines are used as force multiplier, which means that they are able to produce an output force which is greater than the input force (and example of machine is the lever). Therefore, the MA of a machine represents the "multiplication factor" of the input force: for instance, if a machine has a MA of 5, it means that the output force is 5 times the force applied in input.

You are standing in a building whose height (40m) you throw a ball downward at a angle of -30 at a speed of (10m/s) acceleration

jeyben [28]

Answer: 3.41 s

Explanation:

Assuming the question is to find the time $t$ the ball is in air, we can use the following equation:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y=0m$ is the final height of the ball

$y_{o}=40 m$ is the initial height of the ball

$V_{o}=10 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball

$t$ is the time the ball is in air

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity

$\theta=30\°$

Then:

$0 m=40 m+(10 m/s)(sin(30\°))t-\frac{1}{2}9.8 m/s^{2}t^{2}$

$0 m=40 m+5m/s t-4.9 m/s^{2}t^{2}$

Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1 and rearranging:

$4.9 m/s^{2}t^{2}-5m/s t-40 m=0$

At this point we have a quadratic equation of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

Where:

$a=4.9$

$b=-5$

$c=-40$

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(4.9)(-40)}}{2(4.9)}$

Solving the equation and choosing the positive result we have:

$t=3.41 s$ This is the time the ball is in air

Which statement is true of a wave that’s propagating along the pavement and girders of a suspension bridge?

alexandr1967 [171]

The statement which is true of a wave that’s propagating along the pavement and girders of a suspension bridge is A. The wave is mechanical, with particles vibrating in a direction that is parallel to that of the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions.
