C. The work would remain the same and mechanical advantage would increase.

You're still doing the same thing, but having a longer ramp would make the work done easier (mechanical advantage has increased)

Answer:

<em>The purpose of an inclinded plane is to make easier to move objects to a certain height.</em>

The technology behind this is about the Work you need to use to move the object upwards. Basically, when we use an inclined plane, we are splitting the net force, making easier to move. All this means, the force needed to move the objecto up will be lower, due to the inclined plane.

So, if the force needed is lower, then the work is also lower, because the work done is defined as the product between the force applied and the distance traveled.

<em>In addition, if we have a longer inclined plane, that means the force needed is even lower,</em> beacuse the distance is increased, but the Work is the same, because it only depends on the initial and final point.

Therefore, in this case, the work would remain the same and the mechanical advantage would increase. As we said before, the work needed will be the same despite the force decreases, because the distance increases, remaining the work as a constant. And the mechanical advantage increases, because it's easier to move if the inclined plane is longer.

If a high jumper needs to make his center of gravity rise 1.50 m, how fast must he be able to sprint? Assume all of his kinetic
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

v = 5.42 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height of the jumper = 1.5 m

velocity of sprinter = ?

kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

g h = \dfrac{1}{2}v^2

v =\sqrt{2gh}

v =\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 1.5}

v = 5.42 m/s

Speed of the sprinter is equal to v = 5.42 m/s

Pascal has 96 miles remaining to complete his cycling trip. If he reduced his current speed by 4 miles per hour, the remainder o
Verdich [7]

Answer:

V = 20 miles /sec

Explanation:

We have remaining distance   =  d  = 96 miles

Lets call  Pascal velocity  V in miles per hour

Now if he increases his velocity by  50 % (equivalent to multiply by 1.5 ) he will need a time t₁ to arrive then as V = d/t

1.5* V  = d/ t₁      ⇒   1.5 * V  =  96 /t₁

And in the case of reducing his velocity

(V / 4) = d/ (t₁ + 16 )     ⇒  V * (t₁ + 16 ) = 4*d     ⇒ V*t₁ + 16*V = 384

So we a 2 equation system with two uknown variables

1.5*V = 96/t₁      (1)

V*t₁  + 16*V = 384     (2)

We solve  from equation    (1)      t₁  = 64/V

And by substitution   in equation (2)

V * (64/V) + 16* V = 384

64  + 16 *V  = 384         ⇒   16*V = 320      ⇒  V= 320/16

V = 20 miles /sec

A beam of light strikes a sheet of glass at an angle of 56.6° with the normal in air. You observe that red light makes an angle
Yuri [45]

Answer:

(a). Index of refraction are n_{red} = 1.344 & n_{violet} = 1.406

(b). The velocity of red light in the glass v_{red} = 2.23 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

The velocity of violet light in the glass v_{violet} =2.13 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

We know that

Law of reflection is

n_1 \sin\theta_{1} = n_2 \sin\theta_{2}

Here

\theta_1 = angle of incidence

\theta_2 = angle of refraction

(a). For red light

1 × \sin 56.6 = n_{red} × \sin 38.4

n_{red} = 1.344

For violet light

1 × \sin 56.6 = n_{violet} × \sin 36.4

n_{violet} = 1.406

(b). Index of refraction is given by

n = \frac{c}{v}

n_{red} = 1.344

v_{red} = \frac{c}{n_{red} }

v_{red} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.344}

v_{red} = 2.23 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of red light in the glass.

The velocity of violet light in the glass is given by

v_{violet} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.406}

v_{violet} =2.13 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of violet light in the glass.

In which direction does a bag at rest move when a force of 20 newtons is applied from the right? A. in the direction of the appl
-Dominant- [34]

The correct answer is A. In the direction of applied force. This is because acceleration occurs n the direction of applied force according to Newtons second law of motion which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of force.
