Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

Input effort is 15N

Fi = 15N

Output effort is 60N

Fo = 60N

Then,

Mechanical advantage(M•A) is the ratio of two forces, and it is also referred to has force ratio.

M•A = Output Force / Input Force

M•A = Fo / Fi

M•A = 60 / 15

M•A = 4

The mechanical advantage is 4

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is given as a ratio of the force a machines gives out to the force that it receives.

Simply put, it is the ratio of output force to input force:

$MA = \frac{OF}{IF}$

We are given that:

OF = 60 N

IF = 15 N

Hence, the Mechanical Advantage of the lever is:

$MA = \frac{60}{15} \\\\\\MA = 4$

It is a ratio so it has no unit.

A railroad car of mass 2.50*10^4 kg is moving with a speed of 4.00 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupled railroa

NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 2.5 m/s

(b) 37.5 KJ

Explanation:

(a)

From the law of conservation of momentum, Initial momentum=Final momentum

$mV_1+3mV_2=(m+3m)V_f=4mV_f$

$V_1+3V_2=4V_f$ and making $V_f$ the subject then

$V_f=\frac {V_1+3V_2}{4}$ and since $V_1$ is initial velocity of car, value given as 4 m/s, $V_2$ is the initial velocity of the three cars stuck together, value given as 2 m/s and $v_f$ is the final velocity which is unknown. By substitution

$V_f=\frac {4+(3\times2)}{4}=2.5 m/s$

(b)

Initial kinetic energy is given by

$\frac {mV_1^{2}}{2}+\frac {3mV_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {m(V_1^{2}+3V_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {2.5\times 10^{4}(4^{2}+3(2^{2}))}{2}=350\times10^{3} J= 350 KJ$

Final kinetic energy is given by

$\frac {4mV_f^{2}}{2}=\frac {4\times 2.5\times 10^{4}\times 2.5^{2}}{2}=312.5\times 10^{3} J=312.5 KJ$

The energy lost is given by subtracting the final kinetic energy from the initial kinetic energy hence

Energy lost=350-312.5=37.5 KJ

Un vas plin cu lichid cântăreşte 175kg. Ceea ce reprezintă de 5 ori masa vasului gol. Ştiind că volumul interior al vasului este

Mariana [72]

a) Density of the liquid: $823.5kg/m^3$

b) Weight of the liquid: 1372 N

Explanation:

Translation of the text:

"A full tank with liquid weighs 175kg. Which is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel. Knowing that the inside volume of the vessel is 0.17kl, calculate:

a) the density of the liquid;

b) the weight of the liquid."

We know that the full tank with liquid has a total mass of M = 175 kg. We can write the total mass as

$M=m_L + m_V$ (1)
