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]4 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.

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse of a force is measured by force x time or F X t

Impulse also equals change in momentum or

F x t = m v₂ - m v₁

The given case is as follows

in the first case

F x t = mv - o = mv

F = mv / t

in the second case

F₁ x 4 t = mv

F₁ = 1/4 x mv /t

F₁ = F / 4

option a) is correct .

iii )

In the last case

F₂ X t = m v/2 -0

F₂ = 1/2 x mv / t

= 1/2 x F

F₂ = F/2

Option e ) is correct.

A wave has a frequency of 270 Hz and a wavelength of 60 m. What is the speed of the wave?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

(none of the options is correct... see below)

Explanation:

Recall that  frequency, wavelength and speed are related by

Velocity (i.e speed) = frequency x wavelength

in our case

Speed  = 270 Hz x 60m = 16,200 m/s

A 4.0-kg block is pushed up a 36 incline by a force of magnitude P applied parallel to the incline. When P is 31 N, it is obser
denpristay [2]

Answer:

15.1 N

Explanation:

mass of block (m) = 4 kg

angle of inclination = 36 degrees

applied force (P) = 31 N

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

since the block is moving at a constant speed, it means the acceleration is 0 and therefore the summation of all the forces acting on the body is 0

therefore

P - f - mgsinθ = 0

where

  • P = applied force
  • f = frictional force
  • m = mass
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • θ = angle of inclination

when P = 31 N and the block is pushed upward

31 - f - (4 x 9.8 x sin 36) = 0

f = 7.96 N

now that we have the value of the frictional force we can find P required to lower the block, our equation becomes p + f - mgsinθ = 0 since the block is to be lowered

P + f - mgsinθ = 0

P = mgsinθ - f

P = (4 x 9.8 x sin 36) - 7.96 = 15.1 N
