When you exert 75 N on a jack to lift a 6000 N car, what is the jack’s actual mechanical advantage? Show your work.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

the mechanical advantage is the ratio of the load to the effort so it doesn't have units.to calculate it you use the formula

mechanical advantage=load/effort

in this case the load is 6000N and the effort is 75N

Ma=6000/75

=80

I hope this helps

What is the sound intensity level in decibels? Use the usual reference level of I0 = 1.0×10−12 W/m2.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

L = 130 decibels

Explanation:

The computation of the sound intensity level in decibels is shown below:

According to the question, data provided is as follows

I = sound intensity = 10 W/m^2

I0 = reference level = $1 \times 10-12 W/m^2$

Now

Intensity level ( or Loudness)is

$L = log10 \frac{I}{10}$

$L = log10 \frac{10}{1\times 10^{-12}}$

$L = log10 \times 1013$

$= 13 \times 1 ( log10(10) = 1)$

Therefore

L = 13 bel

And as we know that

1 bel = 10 decibels

So,

The Sound intensity level is

L = 130 decibels

A 2.5 kg steel gasoline tank can holds 20.0 L of gasoline when full. What is the average density (in Kg/m^3) of the full gas can

yarga [219]

Answer:

$D=792.3\ kg/m^3$

Explanation:

Average Density

The density of an object of mass m and volume V is

$\displaystyle D=\frac{m}{V}$

If we know the density and the volume occupied by the object, the mass can be computed as

$m=D.V$

The tank can hold 20 L of gasoline when full. Converting to cubic meters

$V_g=20*0.001=0.02\ m^3$

That's the volume of the gasoline it contains. Knowing the density of the gasoline, we get the mass of gasoline.

$m_g=680*0.02=13.6\ kg$

To know the total mass of both, we add the 2.5 kg of the tank

$m=m_t+m_g=13.6+2.5=16.1\ kg$

The volume of the tank is computed solving for V

$\displaystyle V=\frac{m}{D}$

$\displaystyle V_t=\frac{2.5}{7800}=3.205\times 10^{-4}\ m^3$

The total volume is

$V=V_g+V_t=0.02+3.205\times 10^{-4}=0.0203\ m^3$

The average density is

$\displaystyle D=\frac{16.1}{0.0203}$

$\boxed{D=792.3\ kg/m^3}$

A student was trying to find the relationship between mass and force. He placed four different masses on a table and pulled them

Gwar [14]

Answer:

B. There is a direct proportion between the mass and force listed in the table.

Explanation:

From the table, the values of force increases with increase in the value of mass.

if 5kg=25 N

Finding the contant of proportionality k;

k=25/5=5

thus M=k(F)...........where M is mass in kg and F is force in newton, then

M=5F

This show that for every value of mass, we get the value of Force if we multiply by a contant k=5

This means there is a direct proportionality relation between mass and force in the table.
