A rock is dropped from a sea cliff, and the sound of it striking the ocean is heard 3.2 s later. If the speed of sound is 340 m/

s, how high is the cliff?

Speed of sound = 340 m/s
Time taken for sound to reach observer = 3.2 seconds
Height = speed x time
= 340 x 3.2
= 1,088 meters

What are the factor that affect the efficiency of a pulley​
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Tension in the chains - In a chain drive, technically, you have a closed-chain (which has no end) going around 2 pulley or gears; looking closely you have 2 parallel chains going in opposite direction. If kept in horizontal direction, the one below the other is the slack side and the other the tight side. The tension on the upper or tight side is more than the slack side. So you need to keep in mind to keep your chain drive tight so that there is no loss or rotation or lags.

Sizes of the pulley/gear - The chain will be warped around a pair of pulley or gear. The sizes of these pulley/gear will also determine the efficiency of the chain drive (consider one big and one small)

Number of pulley/gear - If the number of pulley/gear is more and chain wrapped on it with little complexity will result in decrease in efficiency because of extra tension.

Length of the chain drive - You cannot have much too long chain drive. It will make your slack side more heavy because the end are further away. You have to apply more power and possibilities of lag increases decreasing efficiency. In an ideal situation, this won't happen, but this world isn't ideal.

Friction between chains & pulley/gear - If you have studied gears (involving its teeth), you will come to know that there is friction offered on the two meeting surfaces.

Angle of contact - This would have been explained better with a diagram. Although, if you are familiar with the terms you won't have difficulty understanding. Angle of contact is the angle the chain forms with the pulley/gear at the point of contact with the center of the pulley. The angle of contact should not be too small, or else the things will be slippery.

Think of one example where Bob would need to calculate the net force on a person at the water park.
gregori [183]
Well Bob would need to calculate to net force of someone going down a water slide. Since the person is going down the slide, the person will go faster, depending on their mass/weight and the gravitational pull. As phrased in Newton’s Second Law.


Newton’s Second Law:
Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.

A mass (m = 30 g) falls onto a spring (k = 7.3 N/m) from a height (h = 25 cm). The spring compresses an additional amount x befo
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

x₁ = 0.1878 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use conservation of energy

starting point. Highest point

         Em₀ = U = m g h

final point. Lowest point with fully compressed spring

         Em_f = K_e + U

         Em_f = ½ K x² + m g x

         

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

        m g h = ½ K x² + m g x

       ½ K x² + mg (x- h) = 0

         

let's substitute

       ½ 7.3 x² + 0.030 9.8 (x- 0.25) = 0

        3.65 x² + 0.294 (x- 0.25) = 0

        x² + 0.080548 (x- 0.25) = 0

        x² - 0.020137 + 0.080548 x = 0

        x² + 0.080548 x - 0.020137 = 0

let's solve the quadratic equation

      x = [0.080548 ±√ (0.080548² + 4   0.020137)] / 2

      x = [0.080548 ± 0.29502] / 2

      x₁ = 0.1878 m

      x₂ = -0.1072 m

These are the compression and extension displacement of the spring

2. Predict what will happen if the 80 kg adult was further from the pivot (more right) and explain your reasoning. 3. Predict wh
Alika [10]

Answer:

2) τ = F x  torque increases, 3) troque decreases,

4)  man approaches the pivot and the child must move away

5)  Σ τ = 0

Explanation:

2) when the man moves away from the pivot his torque increases significantly, since his distance increases

                 τ = F x

                 τ = m g x

therefore the system rotates faster

3) when the child approaches the pivot, his troque decreases, because the distance decreases

                 τ = f x

therefore the system must spin slower

4) If we place the man and the child on the side of a scale, the movement must be the man approaches the pivot and the child must move away, so that the torque is the same and the system can reach a balance

5) the rotational equilibrium expression

                 Σ τ = 0

is the one that describes the equilibrium of a system with several forces
