The material that the snails are moving on affects their speed. On a smooth material, (petri dish) the snails moved the fastest. On a rough material (sandpaper) the snails moved the slowest. On dirt, a compromise between smooth and rough, the snails moved at a medium pace. The material and possibly friction affect this.

a load of 800 newton is lifted by an effort of 200 Newton. if the load is placed at a distance of 10 cm from the fulcrum. what w

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

40 cm

Explanation:

We are given that

Load=800 N

Effort=200 N

Load distance=10 cm

We have to find the effort distance.

We know that

$load\times load\;distance=Effort\times effort\;distance$

Using the formula

$800\times 10=200\times effort\;distance$

Effort distance= $\frac{800\times 10}{200}$

Effort distance= $\frac{8000}{200}$

Effort distance=40 cm

Hence, the effort distance will be 40 cm.

A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.45 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth?

dexar [7]

Answer:

1.08 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) reached = 1.45 m

Time of flight (T) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the kangaroo to return from the height of 1.45 m. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1.45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1.45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1.45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1.45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1.45/4.9)

t = 0.54 s

Note: the time taken to fall from the height(1.45m) is the same as the time taken for the kangaroo to get to the height(1.45 m).

Finally, we shall determine the total time spent by the kangaroo before returning to the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the height = 0.54 s

Time of flight (T) =?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 0.54

T = 1.08 s

Therefore, it will take the kangaroo 1.08 s to return to the earth.
