<span>The screw is really just an inclined plane covered around with a tiny pole. The wedge is definitely an inclined plane, since it starts with a point, then rises getting thicker, as an inclined plane. </span>

The screw is really an inclined plane cover around with a tiny pole. The wedge is definitely an inclined plane, sinse it starts with point, then rises getting thicker, as on inclined plane.

A weather balloon is partially inflated with helium gas to a volume of 2.0 m³. The pressure was measured at 101 kPa and the temp

Yanka [14]

Answer:

4.7 m³

Explanation:

We'll use the gas law P1 • V1 / T1 = P2 • V2 / T2

* Givens :

P1 = 101 kPa , V1 = 2 m³ , T1 = 300.15 K , P2 = 40 kPa , T2 = 283.15 K

( We must always convert the temperature unit to Kelvin "K")

* What we want to find :

V2 = ?

* Solution :

101 × 2 / 300.15 = 40 × V2 / 283.15

V2 × 40 / 283.15 ≈ 0.67

V2 = 0.67 × 283.15 / 40

V2 ≈ 4.7 m³

Why doesn’t a machine that increases force break the law of conservation of energy?

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

A machine in which work input equals work output. energy can be used to do work, work can be used to transfer energy. The change in the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on the object.

The velocity of a body is given by the equation v= a + bx, where 'x' is displacement. The unit of b is .......

valina [46]

Answer:

s^ -1 ( or 1/sec)

Explanation:

Velocity is given in units of displacement / sec

like feet /sec or m/sec

so b would have units of s^-1

(or perhaps a more general term would be time^-1)

Cole is riding a sled with initial speed of 5 m/s from west to east. the frictional force of 50 n exists due west. the mass of t

stepan [7]

We can calculate the acceleration of Cole due to friction using Newton's second law of motion:
$F=ma$
where $F=-50 N$ is the frictional force (with a negative sign, since the force acts against the direction of motion) and m=100 kg is the mass of Cole and the sled. By rearranging the equation, we find
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{-50 N}{100 kg}=-0.5 m/s^2$

Now we can use the following formula to calculate the distance covered by Cole and the sled before stopping:
$a= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2d}$
where
$v_f=0$ is the final speed of the sled
$v_i=5 m/s$ is the initial speed
$d$ is the distance covered

By rearranging the equation, we find d:
$d= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2a}= \frac{-(5 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot (-0.5 m/s^2)}=25 m$

A cannon fires a shell straight upward; 2.3 s after it is launched, the shell is moving upward with a speed of 17 m/s. Assuming

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The speed of the shell at launch and 5.4 s after the launch is 13.38 m/s it is moving towards the Earth.

Explanation:

Let u is the initial speed of the launch. Using first equation of motion as :

$u=v-at$
