An energy that is related to mass and speed would most likely be kinetic energy.
K= 1/2mv^2

An automobile steering wheel is shown. What is the ideal mechanical advantage? If the AMA is 8, what is the efficiency of the st

Mars2501 [29]

1. Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA): 9

Explanation:

For a wheel and axle system like the steering wheel, the IMA is given by:

$IMA=\frac{r_w}{r_a}$

where

$r_w$ is the radius of the wheel

$r_a$ is the radius of the axle

For the steering wheel of the problem, we see that $r_w = 18 cm$ and $r_a=2 cm$ , so the IMA is

$IMA=\frac{18 cm}{2 cm}=9$

2. Efficiency: 88.9%

Explanation:

The efficiency of a system is defined as the ratio between the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) and the IMA:

$\eta=\frac{AMA}{IMA}\cdot 100$

In this problem, AMA=8 and IMA=9, so the efficiency is

$\eta=\frac{8}{9}\cdot 100=88.9\%$

A truck traveling down the highway collides with a slower moving mosquito traveling in the same direction. Which of the followin

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

B. The truck and mosquito exert the same size force on each other.

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that

"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"

In this case, we can call

object A = the truck

object B = the mosquito

Thereforce according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the truck on the mosquito is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the mosquito on the truck (and in opposite direction).

The reason for which the mosquito will experience much more damage is the fact that the mosquito's mass is much smaller than the truck's mass, and since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

the mosquito will experience a much larger deceleration than the truck, therefore much more damage.

Why might some rivers form canyons and other form valleys??

kap26 [50]

Valleys are one of the most common landforms on the Earth and they are formed through erosion or the gradual wearing down of the land by wind and water. In river valleys for example, the river acts as an erosional agent by grinding down the rock or soil and creating a valley

Suppose your friend claims to have discovered a mysterious force in nature that acts on all particles in some region of space. H

kirill [66]

Answer:

U = 1 / r²

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask for potential energy giving the expression of force, since these two quantities are related

F = - dU / dr

this derivative is a gradient, that is, a directional derivative, so we must have

dU = - F. dr

the esxresion for strength is

F = B / r³

let's replace

∫ dU = - ∫ B / r³ dr

in this case the force and the displacement are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

let's evaluate the integrals

U - Uo = -B (- / 2r² + 1 / 2r₀²)

To complete the calculation we must fix the energy at a point, in general the most common choice is to make the potential energy zero (Uo = 0) for when the distance is infinite (r = ∞)

U = B / 2r²

we substitute the value of B = 2

U = 1 / r²
