The efficiency of a screw is low because of _____.

Physics
2 answers:
Alla [95]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The efficiency of a screw is low because of <u>friction</u>.

Explanation:

A screw is a simple machine that is used to convert a torque to linear force and rotational motion to linear motion. The efficiency of a screw is given by :

\eta=\dfrac{Fl}{2\pi T}

Where

l = pitch distance in mm

T = torque in N-m

The efficiency of screw is less because the output is less as compared to input or there is more input than output. This implies that there is more friction.

Hence, the correct option is (b) "friction".

The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the second option. A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. <span>The efficiency of a screw is low because there is more input than output. In other words, it is because of friction. Hope this answer helps.</span>

In most circumstances, the normal force acting on an objectand
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Normal Force is usually perpendicular to the movement and static friction usually means that there is no movement.

Explanation:

The work donde by any force on an object is equal to the displacement of the object multiplied by the component of the force that is in the direction of the displacement.

Normal force is usually perpendicular to the movement, so there is no component in the direction of the displacement. This is why it is zero in most circumstances.

<em>Static</em> friction on the other hand, usually means that there is no movement at all (it's static). It means that there is no displacement between the object and ground (in most cases). If there is no displacement, there is no work.

Which of the following statements about electromagnetic radiation it true? A.electromagnetic waves with long wavelength are more
mina [271]

Answer:

Electromagnetic radiation is an electric and magnetic disturbance traveling through space at the speed of light (2.998 × 108 m/s). It contains neither mass nor charge but travels in packets of radiant energy called photons, or quanta.

A gray kangaroo can bound across level ground with each jump carrying it 9.1 m from the takeoff point. Typically the kangaroo le
Alona [7]

Answer:

u = 10.63 m/s

h = 1.10 m

Explanation:

For Take-off speed ..

by using the standard range equation we have

R = u² sin2θ/g

R = 9.1 m

θ = 26º,

Initial velocity = u

solving for u

u² = \frac{Rg}{sin2\theta}

u^2 = \frac{9.1 x 9.80}{sin26}

u^2 = 113.17

u = 10.63 m/s

for Max height

using the standard h(max) equation ..

v^2 = (v_osin\theta)^2 -2gh

h =\frac{(v_o^2sin\theta)^2}{2g}

h  =  \frac{(113.17)(sin26)^2}{(2 x 9.80)}}

h = 1.10 m

6 Fig. 6.1 is a full-scale diagram that represents a sound wave travelling in air
Oxana [17]

From  the measured wavelength from diagram, the frequency of the sound is 6660 Hz.

<h3>What is the frequency of a wave?</h3>

The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillation per second completed by a wave.

Frequency is related to wavelength and speed by the following formula:

  • Frequency = velocity/wavelength

Velocity of sound in air = 330 m/s

The measured wavelength = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

Frequency = 330/0.05 = 6660 Hz

Therefore, based on the measured wavelength from diagram, the frequency of the sound is 6660 Hz.
