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.

You need to repair a gate on the farm. The gate weighs 100 kg and pivots as indicated. A small diagonal bar supports the gate an
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The force is  F = 3920 \ N

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

   From the question we are told that

          The weight of the gate is G  =  100\  kg

 

The vertical component of F is  F_y =  F\ sin  \theta

   From the diagram , taking moment about the pivot we have  

                W_g  * 2 - F_y  * 1 =  0

Where W_g  is the weight of the gate evaluated as

             W_g  =  m_g * g =  100 * 9.8 =  980 \ N

=>        980 * 2 - Fsin(30)  * 1 =  0

=>         F = \frac{1960}{sin(30)}

=>      F = 3920 \ N

What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force
Effectus [21]

The magnitude of the kinetic friction force, ƒk, on an object is. Where μk is called the kinetic friction coefficient and |FN| is the magnitude of the normal force of the surface on the sliding object. The kinetic friction coefficient is entirely determined by the materials of the sliding surfaces. hope it helps

When might it be harder to stop a vehicle moving at 30 km/h than one moving at 60 km/h?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

when the momentum of the vehicle moving at 30 km/h is higher than the one from the vehicle moving at 60 km/h

Explanation:

It's much harder to stop a freight truck moving at 30 km/h than a hot wheels car moving at 60 km/h.
