What are similarities and differences of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class levers?

Physics
1 answer:
lbvjy [14]3 years ago
7 0
Similarities:
-- All three classes have a fulcrum (pivot).
-- All three classes have a point where the effort force is applied.
-- All three classes have a point where the load or resistance force is applied.
-- If you can find a place to stand and a lever that's long enough,
then you can move the Earth with a 1st or 2nd Class lever.

Differences:
-- The mechanical advantage of a 1st Class lever
can be greater than 1, equal to 1, or less than 1.
-- The mechanical advantage of a 2nd Class lever is always more than 1 .
-- The mechanical advantage of a 3rd Class lever is always less than 1 .

kvasek [131]
The particle will accelerate 5m/s every second until it reaches a maximum of whatever your graph/diagram goes to, I'm in physical science and this is somewhat similar to what I am doing now but I'm not sure if that was what your looking for.

When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a
Sergeu [11.5K]

1) Maximum

2) Maximum

Explanation:

The force acting on a mass on a spring is given by Hooke's law; in magnitude:

F=kx

where

F is the force

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement

Also we know from Newton's second law that we can write

F=ma

where

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

So we can write the equation as

ma=kx (1)

From this relationship, we see that the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement.

On the other hand, we know that the total mechanical energy of the system mass-spring is constant, and it is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=const. (2)

where the first term is the elastic potential energy while the second term is the kinetic energy, and where

v is the velocity of the mass

From eq. (2), it is clear that when displacement increases, velocity decreases, and vice-versa; however, from eq.(1) we also know that acceleration is proportional to the displacement.

Therefore this means that:

- When acceleration increases, velocity decreases

- When acceleration decreases, velocity increases

Therefore, the two answers here are:

- When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a  maximum

When the velocity of a mass on a spring is zero, the acceleration is at a  maximum
