A free body diagram of a brick on an inclined plane is shown below. What is the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane?

Physics
1 answer:
Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

#See solution for details.

Explanation:

-Mechanical advantage is the ratio of input force to an output force.

-Let the length of the inclined plane be x and the height be y.

-The mechanical advantage is calculated as:

M_{advantage}=\frac{x}{y}

Hence, the inclined plane increases the force being exerted by \frac{x}{y} times.

10. What is the acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 500 N net force?
Simora [160]

Answer:

0.5m/s^2

Explanation:

We can use the formula [ F = ma ] but solve for "a" since that is what we are looking for.

F = ma

F/m = a

We know the net force and mass so substitute those values and simplify.

500/1000 = 0.5m/s^2

Best of Luck!

7. Two people are pushing a 40.0kg table across the floor. Person 1 pushes with a force of 490N
artcher [175]

Answer:

20.4 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

To start doing this problem, first draw a free body diagram of the table. My teacher always tells us to do this, and I find that it is very helpful. I have attached a free body diagram to this answer- take a look at it.

First, let us see if Net force = MA. To do that, we need to determine whether the object is at equilibrium horizontally. For an object to be at equilibrium, it either needs to be moving at a constant velocity or not moving at all. Also, if an object is at equilibrium, there will not be any acceleration. But we know that there IS acceleration horizontally, so it cannot be in equilibrium. If it is not in equilibrium, we can use the formula ∑F= ma.

Let us determine the net force. Since the object is moving horizontally, we can ignore the weight and normal force, because they are vertical forces. The only horizontal forces we need to worry about are the applied force and force of friction.

Applied force = 1055 N (490 + 565)

Friction force= Unknown

To find the friction force, use the kinetic friction formula, Friction = μkN

μk is the coefficient, which the problem includes- it is 0.613.

N is the normal force, which we have to find.

*To find the normal force, we have to determine if the object is at equilibrium VERTICALLY. Since it has no acceleration vertically (it's not moving up/down), it is at equilibrium. Now, when an object is at equilibrium in one direction, it means that all the forces in that direction are equal. What are our vertical forces? Weight (mg) and Normal force (N). So it means that the Normal force is equal to the Weight.

Weight = mg = (40)(9.8) = 392 N

Normal force = 392 N

Now, plug it back into the formula (μkN): (0.613)(392) = 240.296 N

Friction = 240.296 N

Now that we know the friction, we can find the horizontal net force. Just subtract the friction force, 240.296 from the applied force, 1055 N

Horizontal Net Force: 814.704 N

Now that we know the net force, plug in the numbers for the formula

∑F= ma.

814.704 = (40.0)(a)

*Divide on both sides)

a = 20.3676 m/s^2

Round it to 3 significant figures, to get:

20.4 m/s^{2}

Which ionic compound is used as a building material?
Maurinko [17]
Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound that can be used as a building material. MO2 is actually a raw material that used in producing cement for building houses, buildings, and other constructions.
Many old structures were made of limestones. Limestone is from Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) which is an ionic compound and can be used as a building material too.
