A 79.7 kg base runner begins his slide into second base while moving at a speed of 4.77 m/s. The coefficient of friction between

his clothes and Earth is 0.635. He slides so that his speed is zero just as he reaches the base. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the magnitude of the mechanical energy lost due to friction acting on the runner? Answer in units of J.

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to the kinetic energy theorem. Said theorem states that the work done by the net force (sum of all forces) applied to a particle is equal to the change experienced by the kinetic energy of that particle. This is:

\Delta W = \Delta KE

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Here,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

m = 79.7kg

v = 4.77m/s

Replacing,

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (79.7kg)(4.77m/s)^2

\Delta W = 907J

Therefore the mechanical energy lost due to friction acting on the runner is 907J

Jill applies a force of 250 N to a machine. The machine applies a force of 25 N to an object. What is the mechanical advantage o
Vinvika [58]

Mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of output load to the input load. The mechanical advantage of the machine will be 0.1.

<h3>What is mechanical advantage?</h3>

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system,

It is used to obtain the efficiency of forces in levers and pulleys. It is an effective way of amplifying the force in simple machines like levers.

The theoretical mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of the force responsible for the useful work in the system to the applied force.

Given

applied force = 250 N

Output force = 25

Mechanical advantage = work output / work input

\rm{Mechanical advantage}=\frac{F_O}{F_I}

\rm{Mechanical advantage}=\frac{25}{250}

\rm{Mechanical advantage}=0.1

Hence the mechanical advantage of the machine will be 0.1

1. A metal ball has a mass of 20 g and a volume of 6 cm3.Find its density
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

density of the ball is 3.33 g/cc

Explanation:

As we know that the density is the ratio of mass and volume

here we know that

mass = 20 g

volume = 6 cubic cm

so we will have

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

\rho = \frac{20}{6} g/cm^3

\rho = 3.33 g/cm^3

In which situation is work not being done?
almond37 [142]

AS

work done =W = F.d = F d cosФ     (Ф is angle between force F and displacement d) If a body/object is moving on a smooth surface (friction-less surface ) .There is no force acting on that body.  F=0 so W=FdcosФ= (0)dcosФ ⇒ W=0

Now if a body is facing some amount of force but under the action of force there is no displacement covered. d=0 so W =FdcosФ= F(0)cosФ ⇒W=0

example:  A person is applying a force on rigid wall but wall remains at rest there is no displacement occurs in wall.

The third term upon which work done  dependent is angle between force and displacement i.e Ф. If Ф=90° then W= FdcosФ= Fdcos90⇒ W=0   ( as cos 90°=0)
