Explanation :

There are many types of simple machines i.e. lever, wedge, pulley, wheel and axle etc.

Fulcrum is the pivot point about which the lever turns. When the position of the fulcrum is shifted, the position of effort changes.

There are three classes of the lever as class 1, class 2 and class 3.

Class 1 includes seesaws and scissors.

class 2 includes wheelbarrow

class 3 includes tongs and tweezers.

As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted o

astraxan [27]

Answer:

3.6 x 10⁶ Pa

Explanation:

A = Area of the heel = 1.50 cm² = 1.50 x 10⁻⁴ m²

m = mass of the woman = 55.0 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Force of gravity on the heel is given as

F = mg

Inserting the values

F = (55) (9.8)

F = 539 N

Pressure exerted on the floor is given as

$P = \frac{F}{A}$

$P = \frac{539}{1.5\times 10^{-4}}$

P = 3.6 x 10⁶ Pa

Archy [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the second car is 57 m/s south.

Explanation:

This is an elastic collision between two train cars. In this case, the total kinetic energy between the two bodies will remain the same.

The formula to apply is :

$m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f$

where ;

$m_1=mass of object 1\\v_1i=initial velocity object1\\m_2=mass of object2\\v_2i=initial velocity object 2\\v_1f=final velocity object 1\\v_2f=final velocity object 2$

Given in the question that;

$m_1=14650kg\\v_1i=18m/s\\m_2=3825kg\\v_2i=11m/s\\v_1f=6m/s\\v_2f=?$

Apply the formula as;

$m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f$

{14650*18}+{3825*11} = {14650 *6} + {3825 * v₂f}

263700+42075=87900 + 3825v₂f

305775 =87900 + 3825v₂f

305775-87900 = 3825v₂f

217875=3825v₂f

217875/3825 =v₂f

56.96 = v₂f

<u>57 m/s = v₂f { nearest whole number}</u>

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 4 m/s to 13 m/s in a period of 3 s. What is your acceleration?

iogann1982 [59]

The acceleration formula goes like this: a= (vf-vi)/t so it would be (13-4)/3 Thus the answer is 3m/s^2

Why do metals make good electrical conductors?

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Metals are good conductors of electricity because they contain free electrons in their atoms. The outer shell of atom's of metal have free electrons. These free electrons are responsible of electrical conductivity of metals. These electron are not bounded by the attraction forces of the nucleous. They are free to wonder in lattice of positive ion and thus allow electrical conductivity.
