It is A: They add energy to the work

Mrrafil [7]3 years ago

Answer:  D.  They increase the distance over which a force is applied.

Explanation:

Simple machines are basic mechanical devices which make our work easier like lever, pulley, wheel and axle, inclined plane, wedge and screw. The magnitude of the force or direction is altered using a simple machine. They increase the distance over which a force is applied. They use mechanical advantage to increase the magnitude of the force.

The magnetic field direction and direction of induced current in a wire are related by the right hand grip rule. Since the magnetic field was upwards, the thumb points upwards and the fingers curl around it. When viewed from above, it is seen as a current flowing in the counter clockwise direction.

How do I do this physics problem about potential energy and kinetic energy?
larisa86 [58]

Ok i apologise for the messy working but I'll try and explain my attempt at logic

Also note i ignore any air resistance for this.

First i wrote the two equations I'd most likely need for this situation, the kinetic energy equation and the potential energy equation.

Because the energy right at the top of the swing motion is equal to the energy right in the "bottom" of the swing's motion (due to conservation of energy), i made the kinetic energy equal to the potential energy as indicated by Ek = Ep.

I also noted the "initial" and "final" height of the swing with hi and hf respectively.

So initially looking at this i thought, what the heck, there's no mass. Then i figured that using the conservation of energy law i could take the mass value from the Ek equation and use it in the Ep equation. So what i did was take the Ek equation and rearranged it for m as you can hopefully see. Then i substituted the rearranged Ek equation into the Ep equation.

So then the equation reads something like Ep = (rearranged Ek equation for m) × g (which is -9.81) × change in height (hf - hi).

Then i simplify the equation a little. When i multiply both sides by v^2 i can clearly see that there is one E on each side (at that stage i don't need to clarify which type of energy it is because Ek = Ep so they're just the same anyway). So i just canceled them out and square rooted both sides.

The answer i got was that the max velocity would be 4.85m/s 3sf, assuming no losses (eg energy lost to friction).

I do hope I'm right and i suppose it's better than a blank piece of paper good luck my dude xx

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t
enot [183]

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}

v_{avg} = 5m/s

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}

5 = 9 - v_{wind}

v_{wind}= 4 m/s

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}

v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s

now we can find the time to go back

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

time = \frac{6000}{13}

time = 7.7 minutes

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

T = t_1 + t_2

T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min

now when there is no wind total time is given by

T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}

T = 22.22 min

So due to wind time will be more
