Answer:

adapted from NOVA, a team of historians, engineers, and trade experts recreate a medieval throwing machine called a trebuchet. To launch a projectile, a trebuchet utilizes the transfer of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy. A massive counterweight at one end of a lever falls because of gravity, causing the other end of the lever to rise and release a projectile from a sling. As part of their design process, the engineers use models to help evaluate how well their designs will work.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1/6 m/s^2 ( about 1/6th gravity of Earth ( 9.81 m/s^2)

Explanation:

Displacement = yo + vo t - 1/2 a t^2

- 3.2 = 0 + 0 - 1/2 a(2.0)^2

- 3.2 = -2a

a = 3.2 / 2 = 1.6 m/s^2

A delivery truck leaves a warehouse and travels 2.60 km north. The truck makes a left turn and travels 1.25 km west before makin

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

4.19 km and 107.35 degrees north of east

Explanation:

So in the end, the truck is (2.6 + 1.4 = 4km) north and 1.25 km west from the warehouse. We can use the Pythagorean formula to calculate the magnitude and direction α of the truck displacement from the warehouse:

$s = \sqrt{s_n^2 + s_w^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 1.25^2} = \sqrt{16 + 1.5625} = \sqrt{17.5625} = 4.19$ km

$tan\alpha = \frac{s_n}{s_w} = \frac{4}{1.25} = 3.2$

$\alpha = tan^{-1}3.2 = 1.27 rad \approx 72.65 degrees$ north or west or (180 - 72.65) = 107.35 degrees north of east

Importance of liquid pressure

trapecia [35]

Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

Both the water in the ocean and the air in the atmosphere exert pressure because of their moving particles. ... This causes greater pressure. Denser fluids such as water exert more pressure than less dense fluids such as air. The particles of denser fluids are closer together, so there are more collisions in a given area.

Calculate the acceleration of a bus that goes

Svet_ta [14]

The acceleration of the bus is 1.11 meters per second square to the direction of motion

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

The formula of the acceleration is $a=\frac{v_{2}-v_{1}}{t}$ , where
