A company is interested in buying a new machine to replace their outdated equipment. However, before committing to the purchase,

the company asked the manufacturer to provide data on a certain machine's efficiency. The data suggests that with a supplied energy at a rate of 1600 w, the machine will do useful work at a rate of 1540 w. What's the efficiency of this particular machine

The mechanical efficiency = actual work / ideal work

So ζ = 1540 / 1600 * 100% = 96.25%

a toboggan loaded with vacationing students (total weight 1300 N) slides down a slope at 30 degrees and there is no friction. wh
sasho [114]

Answer:

The acceleration of the sliding toboggan is, a = 4.9 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,

The total weight of the toboggan, W = 1300 N

The slope is, Ф = 30°

The acceleration of a body under the influence of the gravitational field does not depend on its mass, size and shape in the absence of the air resistance.

Therefore,

The acceleration of the toboggan is given by the formula,

                           a = g Sin Ф

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                           a = 9.8 x Sin 30°

                              = 4.9 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the sliding toboggan is, a = 4.9 m/s²

Three forces act on a moving object. One force has a magnitude of 83.7 N and is directed due north. Another has a magnitude of 5
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

  • |\vec{F}_3| = 102.92 \ N
  • \theta = 57 \° 24 ' 48''

Explanation:

For an object to move with constant velocity, the acceleration of the object must be zero:

\vec{a} = \vec{0}.

As the net force equals acceleration multiplied by mass , this must mean:

\vec{F}_{net} = m \vec{a} = m * \vec{0} = \vec{0}.

So, the sum of the three forces must be zero:

\vec{F}_1 + \vec{F}_2 + \vec{F}_3 = \vec{0},

this implies:

\vec{F}_3  = - \vec{F}_1 - \vec{F}_2.

To obtain this sum, its easier to work in Cartesian representation.

First we need to define an Frame of reference. Lets put the x axis unit vector \hat{i} pointing east,  with the y axis unit vector \hat{j} pointing south, so the positive angle is south of east. For this, we got for the first force:

\vec{F}_1 = 83.7 \ N \ (-\hat{j}),

as is pointing north, and for the second force:

\vec{F}_2 = 59.9 \ N \ (-\hat{i}),

as is pointing west.

Now, our third force will be:

\vec{F}_3  = - 83.7 \ N \ (-\hat{j}) - 59.9 \ N \ (-\hat{i})

\vec{F}_3  =  83.7 \ N \ \hat{j}  + 59.9 \ N \ \hat{i}

\vec{F}_3  =  (59.9 \ N , 83.7 \ N )

But, we need the magnitude and the direction.

To find the magnitude, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}

|\vec{F}_3| = \sqrt{(59.9 \ N)^2 + (83.7 \ N)^2}

|\vec{F}_3| = 102.92 \ N

this is the magnitude.

To find the direction, we can use:

\theta = arctan(\frac{F_{3_y}}{F_{3_x}})

\theta = arctan(\frac{83.7 \ N }{ 59.9 \ N })

\theta = 57 \° 24 ' 48''

and this is the angle south of east.

An apple falls from an apple tree growing on a 20° slope. The apple hits the ground with an impact velocity of 16.2 m/s straight
EleoNora [17]

Apple hits the surface with speed 16.2 m/s

The angle made by the apple velocity with normal to the incline surface is given as 20 degree

now the component of velocity which is parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the surface is given as

v_{perpendicular} = v cos20

v_{parallel} = v sin20

so here we have

v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20

v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s

<em>so its velocity along the incline plane will be 5.5 m/s</em>
