Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.

А A pool of water of refractive index

babymother [125]

Answer:

Apparent depth = 45 cm

Explanation:

The refractive index of water in a pool, n = 4/3

Real depth, d = 60 cm

We need to find its apparent depth when viewed vertically through air. The ratio of real depth to the apparent depth is equal to the refractive index of the material. Let the apparent depth is d'. So,

$n=\dfrac{d}{d'}\\\\d'=\dfrac{d}{n}\\\\d'=\dfrac{60}{\dfrac{4}{3}}\\\\d'=45\ cm$

So, the apparent depth is 45 cm.

2. A 2000 kg car with speed 12.0 m/s hits a tree. The tree does not move or

krek1111 [17]

a) The work done by the tree is $-1.44\cdot 10^5 J$

b) The amount of force applied is 2880 N

Explanation:

a)

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the car is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car. Therefore, we can write:

$W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where

W is the work done on the car

m is the mass of the car

u is its initial speed

v is its final speed

For the car in this problem, we have:

m = 2000 kg

u = 12.0 m/s

v = 0 (since the car comes to a stop, after the crash)

Therefore, the work done by the tree on the car is:

$W=0-\frac{1}{2}(2000)(12.0)^2=-1.44\cdot 10^5 J$

The work is negative because it is done in the direction opposite to the direction of motion of the car.

b)

The work done by the tree on the car can also be rewritten as

$W=Fd$

where

F is the force applied on the car

d is the displacement of the car during the collision

In this situation, we have:

$W=-1.44\cdot 10^5 J$ is the work done

$d=50.0 cm = 0.50 m$ is the displacement of the car during the collision

Solving the equation for F, we find the force exerted by the tree on the car:

$F=\frac{W}{d}=\frac{-1.44\cdot 10^5 J}{0.50}=-2880 N$

Where the negative sign means the force is applied opposite to the direction of motion of the car. Therefore, the magnitude of the force applied is 2880 N.

En la siguiente expresión matemáticas w=mg el peso w con relación a se relaciona con la masa m en una proporción

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

a) Directamente proporcional

Explanation:

El peso se puede definir como la fuerza que actúa sobre un cuerpo o un objeto como resultado de la gravedad.

Matemáticamente, el peso de un objeto viene dado por la fórmula;

$Peso = mg$

Donde;

m es la masa del objeto.

g es la aceleración debida a la gravedad.

De la expresión matemática, podemos deducir que el valor del peso de un objeto es directamente proporcional a la masa del objeto.

Por lo tanto, un aumento en la masa de un objeto provocaría un aumento en el peso del objeto y viceversa.
