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.

How do you do this question? Please include free body diagrams and clear explanation, so I can understand.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for each disc.

Disc A has three forces acting on it: 86.5 N up, T₁ down, and Wa down.

∑F = ma

86.5 N − T₁ − Wa = 0

Wa = 86.5 N − T₁

ma × 9.8 m/s² = 86.5 N − 55.6 N

ma = 3.2 kg

Disc B has three forces acting on it: T₁ up, T₂ down, and Wb down.

∑F = ma

T₁ − T₂ − Wb = 0

Wb = T₁ − T₂

mb × 9.8 m/s² = 55.6 N − 36.5 N

mb = 1.9 kg

Disc C has three forces acting on it: T₂ up, T₃ down, and Wc down.

∑F = ma

T₂ − T₃ − Wc = 0

Wc = T₂ − T₃

mc × 9.8 m/s² = 36.5 N − 9.6 N

mc = 2.7 kg

Disc D has two forces acting on it: T₃ up and Wd down.

∑F = ma

T₃ − Wd = 0

Wd = T₃

md × 9.8 m/s² = 9.6 N

md = 0.98 kg

Which word describes the maximum a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes?
Tom [10]

Answer:

Amplitude.

Explanation:

A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.

In Science, there are two (2) types of wave and these include;

I. Electromagnetic waves: it doesn't require a medium for its propagation and as such can travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of an electromagnetic wave is light.

II. Mechanical waves: it requires a medium for its propagation and as such can't travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of a mechanical wave is sound.

An amplitude can be defined as a waveform that's measured from the center line (its origin or equilibrium position) to the bottom of a trough or top of a crest.

Hence, an amplitude is a word that describes the maximum displacement a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes.

On a graph, the vertical axis (y-axis) is the amplitude of a waveform and this simply means that, it's measured vertically.

Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;

x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)

Where;

x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.

A is the amplitude.

ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.

t is the time period measured in seconds.

ϕ is the phase angle.

Two states of matter are described below. State A: Cannot be compressed and retains its shape State B: Highly compressible Which
telo118 [61]

Answer:

State A = piece of metal; State B = air

Explanation:

For the three main states of matter here's how it breaks down.

Solid - Cannot be compressed and retains its shape

Liquid - Cannot be compressed and does not retain its shape

Gas - Compressible and does not retain its shape.

Knowing this State A has to be solid.  Only one of the options has A as a solid, so that's the answer.   Worth knowing state B is a gas though, only one compressible, just like solid is the only one that retains its shape.
