2.8km/h see what you do is subtract 12.0 away from 14.8 and that is how you get your answer to the problem.

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.

El dormitorio de Pablo es rectangular, y sus lados miden 3 y 4 metros. Ha decidido dividirlo en dos partes triangulares con una

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

c = 5 m

Explanation:

this exercise you want to divide the rectangular room into two triangular rooms

the area of triangles is

A = ½ base height

A = ½ 4 3

A = 6 m²

the length of the curtain can be found using the Pythagorean theorem

c² = b² + a²

c = √ (4² + 3²)

c = 5 m

this is the length of the curtain

A depiction of a famous scientific experiment is given. Consider how the beam changes when the magnet is off compared to when th

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of

v = E / B

Explanation:

After reading this long statement we can extract the data to work on the problem.

* They indicate that when the beam passes through the plates it deviates towards the positive plate, so the beam must be negative electrons.

* Now indicates that the electric field and the magnetic field are contracted and that the beam passes without deviating, so the electric and magnetic forces must be balanced

$F_{e} = F_{m}$

q E = qv B

v = E / B

this configuration is called speed selector

They ask us what type of beam was used.

The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of v = E / B

Two identical satellites are in orbit about the earth. One orbit has a radius r and the other 2r. The centripetal force on the s

velikii [3]

Answer:

the centripetal force on the satellite in the larger orbit is _one fourth_ as that on the satellite in the smaller orbit.

Explanation:

Mass of satellite, m

orbit radius of first, r1 = r

orbit radius of second, r2 = 2r

Centripetal force is given by

$F= \frac{mv^{2}}{r}$

Where v be the orbital velocity, which is given by

$v=\sqrt{gr}$

So, the centripetal force is given by

$F= \frac{mgr}}{r}}=mg$

where, g bet the acceleration due to gravity

$g=\frac{GM}{r^{2}}$

So, the centripetal force

$F= \frac{GMm}}{r^{2}}}$

Gravitational force on the satellite having larger orbit

$F= \frac{GMm}{4r^{2}}$ .... (1)

Gravitational force on the satellite having smaller orbit

$F'= \frac{GMm}{r^{2}}$ .... (2)

Comparing (1) and (2),

F' = 4 F

So, the centripetal force on the satellite in the larger orbit is _one fourth_ as that on the satellite in the smaller orbit.
