Answer:

0.001 lb

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of a pulley system is given by:

MA=\frac{F_L}{F_E}

where FL is the load while FE is the effort.

In this problem, we know the mechanical advantage, MA=2,000,000, and we know the value of the load, FL=2,000 lb, so we can re-arrange the equation to find the effort:

F_E=\frac{F_L}{MA}=\frac{2,000 lb}{2,000,000}=0.001 lb

Well I must say that's a very interesting machine you've got there. It wouldn't be possible to build a system with an actual mechanical advantage of 2 million. But if you did have such a thing, and you wanted to use it to lift a 2000 pound weight, then you would only need to pull with a force of 1.6% of an ounce ! The bad news is that in order to lift the weight one foot, you'd have to pull about 379 miles of rope through the pulley system !

What mass of a material with density ρ is required to make a hollow spherical shell having inner radius r1 and outer radius r2?
krok68 [10]

Answer: m=\frac {\rho}{\frac{4}{3} \pi( (r_2)^{3} - (r_1)^{3}) }

It is given that:

Density of material =ρ

radius of inner spherical shell = r_1

radius of outer spherical shell=r_2

we know that the volume of sphere is \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

Volume of the given spherical shell = \frac{4}{3}\pi( (r_2)^{3}-(r_1)^{3})

Then mass of the spherical shell can be calculate as:

Mass, m=density/ volume

m=\frac {\rho}{\frac{4}{3} \pi ((r_2)^{3} - (r_1)^{3}) }

During a free fall Swati was accelerating at -9.8m/s2. After 120 seconds how far did she travel?
SIZIF [17.4K]

-70560, -9.8/2 = -4.9

120^2 = 14400.

Now you multiply 14400 * -4.9 = -70560m.

If a car moves with constant velocity, does it also move with a constant speed?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Yes. The fact that an object moves at constant velocity implies that its speed is also constant. Note that the converse statement isn't necessarily true.

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector. For two vectors to be equal to each other,

  • their magnitudes (sizes) need be the same, and
  • they need to point in the same direction.

In motions, the magnitude of an object's velocity is the same as its speed.

If the car moves with a constant velocity, that means that

  • the magnitude of its velocity, the speed of the car, is constant;
  • also, the direction of the car's motion is also constant.

In other words,

\text{Velocity } \vec{v}\text{ is constant} \implies \text{Speed }v\text{ is constant}.

Note that the arrow here points only from the velocity side to the speed side. It doesn't point backward because knowing that the speed of an object is constant won't be sufficient to prove that the velocity of the object is also constant. For example, for an object in a uniform circular motion, the speed is constant but the direction keeps changing. Hence the velocity isn't constant.
