Which of the following causes current to flow in a wire?

A civil engineer must design a wheelchair-accessible ramp next to a set of steps leading up to a building. The height from the g

Westkost [7]

Answer:

A) B = 24 ft

B) H = 24.08 ft

C) M.A = 12.04

D) P = 13.7 lb

Explanation:

A)

Minimum allowable length of base of ramp can be found as follows:

Slope = H/B

where,

Slope = 1/12

H = Height of Ramp = 2 ft

B = Length of Base of Ramp = ?

Therefore,

1/12 = 2 ft/B

B = 2 ft * 12

B = 24 ft

B)

The length of the slope of ramp can be found by using pythagora's theorem:

L = √H² + B²

where,

H = Perpendicular = height = 2 ft

B = Base = Length of Base of Ramp = 24 ft

L = Hypotenuse = Length of Slope of Ramp = ?

Therefore,

H = √[(2 ft)² + (24 ft)²]

H = 24.08 ft

D)

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is given by the following formula:

M.A = L/H

M.A = 24.08 ft/2 ft

M.A = 12.04

D)

Another general formula for Mechanical Advantage is:

M.A = W/P

where,

W = Ideal Load = 165 lb

P = Ideal Effort Force = ?

Therefore,

12.04 = 165 lb/P

P = 165 lb/12.04

P = 13.7 lb

What is the relationship between the applied force of a hanging mass on a spring and the spring force of the spring?

zaharov [31]

Answer:

elastic force and weight are related to the acceleration of the System.

Explanation:

The relationship between these two forces can be found with Newton's second law.

$F_{e}$ - W = m a

K x - m g = m a

We see that elastic force and weight are related to the acceleration of the System.

If a harmonic movement is desired, an extra force that increases the elastic force is applied, but to begin the movement this force is eliminated, in general , if the relationship between this external and elastic force is desired, the only requirement is that it be small for harmonic movement to occur

A ball is released from the top of a tower of height h meters. it takes T seconds to reach the ground . what is the position of

alekssr [168]

Answer:the

8/9 h

Explanation:

Height = 1/2 a T^2 now change to T/3

now height = 1/2 a (T/3)^2 = 1/9 1/2 a T^2 <===== it is 1/9 of the way down or 8/9 h

an object is placed 15.8 cm in front of a thin converging lens with an unknown focal length. if a real image forms behind the le

storchak [24]

On what:

f (is the focal length of the lens) = ?
p (is the distance from the object to the lens) =15.8 cm
p' (is the distance from the image to the spherical lens) = 4.2 cm

Using the Gaussian equation, to know where the object is situated (distance from the point).

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{p'}$
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15.8} + \frac{1}{4.2}$
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{2.1}{33.18} + \frac{7.9}{33.18}$
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{10}{33.18}$
Product of extremes equals product of means:
$10*f = 1*33.18$
$10f = 33.18$
$f = \frac{33.18}{10}$
$\boxed{\boxed{f = 3.318\:cm}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
