Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is 8

Explanation:
the mechanical advantage measures how much the system multiplies the input force to get the output.

In the given:
The input force (effort) is 20 Newton
The output force (load) is 160 Newton

This means that the mechanical advantage is:
mechanical advantage = load / effort = 160 / 20 = 8

Note that the mechanical advantage is unit-less (has no unit) since it is a ratio between two forces.

Hope this helps :)

A hot air balloon lifts 50 meters vertically into the air and then comes back down. What are the displacement and distance of th
Marysya12 [62]

Given that a hot air balloon lifts 50 meters vertically into the air and then comes back down.

The displacement is the distance covered in a specific direction.

When the balloon is going up, the displacement is positive. and when the balloon is coming down, the displacement is negative.

The total displacement = 50 - 50 = 0

The distance is a measurement of length between to different points or position.

For distance, there is no need to consider direction. There is no consideration for positive or negative signs

While the distance = 50 + 50 = 100 meters

Therefore, the correct answer is C

That is, The displacement is zero and the distance is 100 meters

8. An airplane is flying at 200 m/s when it touches the ground at the airport. It has a constant negative acceleration, and slow
Temka [501]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity u = 200m/s

Final velocity = 4m/s

Distance S = 4000m

Required

Acceleration

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

v² = u²+2as

4² = 200²+2a(4000)

16 = 40000+8000a

8000a = 16-40000

8000a = -39,984

a = - 39,984/8000

a = -4.998m/s²

Hence the acceleration is -4.998m/s²
