Answer:

84.4 %

Explanation:

Mechanical efficiency = output work/input work × 100 %

output work = 432 J of work for the bike to turn the gears

input work = 512 J of work to ride.

Mechanical efficiency =  432 J/512 J × 100 %

= 0.844 × 100%

= 84.4 %

An attack helicopter is equipped with a 20- mm cannon that fires 88.7 g shells in the forward direction with a muzzle speed of 9
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The impulse imparted to the shells equals the change in the momentum:
Fav*(Delta t)= Delta m*v.
The mass change is
Delta m= n*m= (89.9shells)*(88.7g)=7.97Kg
So the average force is
F=((v)*(Delta m))/t= ((929)*(7.97))/4.84=1529.78 N
Since the velocity of the shells is much greater than the velocity of the helicopter, there is no need to use relative velocity.

Two identical stones, A and B, are thrown from a cliff from the same height and with the same initial speed. Stone A is thrown v
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

This can be explained based on the conservation of energy.

The total mechanical energy of the system remain constant in the absence of any external force. Also, the total mechanical energy of the system is the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy associated with the system.

In case of two stones thrown from a cliff one vertically downwards the other vertically upwards, the overall gravitational potential energy remain same for the two stones as the displacement of the stones is same.

Therefore the kinetic energy and hence the speed of the two stones should also be same in order for the mechanical energy to remain conserved.

The sunlight passes through space and reach earth and other planets in the form of radiation. Radiation is the transmission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves which needs no medium.</span>

The eiffel tower has a mass of 7.3 million kilograms and a height of 324 meters. its base is square with a side length of 125 me
uranmaximum [27]

Since the tower base is square with a side length of  125 m,

Therefore,

(125\ m)^2+ (125\ m)^2=31250 m^2

Square root of 31250 = 176.776953 (Diameter) , so this is the diameter of the cylinder to enclose it, and radius, r = 88.38834765 m and height, h = 324 m.

The volume of cylinder,

=\pi r^2h=3.14(88.38834765 m)^2\times 324 m =7948168.803\ m^3

Thus, the mass of the air in the cylinder,

=1.225\ kg/m^3 \times 7948168.803\ m^3=9736506.78\ kg

Hence, the mass of the air in the cylinder is this more  than the mass of the tower.
