Answer:

the ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it, used in assessing the performance of a machine.

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. The device preserves the input power and simply trades off forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force. The model for this is the law of the lever.

Superman does an exhibition run at a track meet. When he runs the 200 m

Ber [7]

Answer:

6.32s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Length of track and distance covered = 200m

Acceleration = 10m/s²

Unknown:

Time taken to cover the track = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply one of the motion equations as shown below:

S = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$ at²

S is the distance covered

t is the time taken

a the acceleration

u is the initial velocity

The initial velocity of Superman is 0;

So;

S = $\frac{1}{2}$ at²

200 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 10 x t²

200 = 5t²

t² = 40

t = 6.32s

how much gravitational potential energy do you give a 70 kg person when you lift him up 3 m in the air?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Given gravitational potential energy when he's lifted is 2058 J.

Kinetic energy is transferred to the person.

Amount of kinetic energy the person has is -2058 J

velocity of person = 7.67 m/s².

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Given:

Weight of person = 70 kg

Lifted height = 3 m

1. Gravitational potential energy of a lifted person is equal to the work done.

$PE_g=W=m\times g\times h\\Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 \ m/s^2 \\PE_g= m = m\times g\times h= 70\times 9.8 \times 3 = 2058\ kg.m/s^2 = 2058\ J$

Gravitational potential energy is equal to 2058 Joules.

2. The Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is being transferred to the person.

3. Kinetic energy gained = Potential energy lost = $-PE_g = -2058\ kg.m/s^2$

Kinetic energy gained by the person = (-2058 kg.m/s²)

4. Velocity = ?

Kinetic energy magnitude= $\frac{1}{2} m\times v^2 = m\times g \times h$

Solving for v, we get

$v=\sqrt{2gh} =\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 3} = \sqrt{58.8} = 7.67 m/s^2$

The person will be going at a speed of 7.67 m/s².

four children pull on the same stuffed toy at the same time , yet there is no net force on the toy.how is this possible?

Kay [80]

There was no net force on the stuffed toy, because the kids might have the same strength, The same force is on both sides of it. T<span>hey cancel each other out. They exert a force on the stuffed toy equal in strength but opposite in direction. The forces are balanced and the stuffed toy does not move. </span>Its like a game of tug-o-war, but you and I have the same strength. the rope would be still and not moving.

If two arm wrestlers exert a force on each other’s hands, and the hands don’t move, the forces must be *

jeyben [28]

Balanced. They’re equally as strong so as their arm wrestling, neither of the men’s hands go down. Because they’re equally/balanced as strong.
