Answer:

Machine - A device consisting of fixed and moving parts that modifies mechanical energy and transmits it in a more useful form.

Mechanical advantage - Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system.

Inclined Plane - A plane set at an angle to the horizontal, especially a simple machine used to raise or lower a load by rolling or sliding.

Wedge - A piece of material, such as metal or wood, thick at one edge and tapered to a thin edge at the other for insertion in a narrow crevice, used for splitting, tightening, securing, or levering.

Screw - A cylindrical rod incised with one or more helical or advancing spiral threads, as a lead screw or worm screw.

Lever - A simple machine consisting of a rigid bar pivoted on a fixed point and used to transmit force, as in raising or moving a weight at one end by pushing down on the other.

Two points charges are brought closer together,increasing the force between them by a factor of 25.By what factor wa their separ
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The separation between the charges was decreased by a factor of 0.2

Explanation:

The Coulomb's force between two charges is given by;

F = \frac{kq^2}{r^2} \\\\let \ kq^2 \ be \ constant\\\\F_1r_1^2 = F_2r_2^2\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{F_1r_1^2}{F_2} \\\\increasing \ the \ force \ between \ them \ by \ factor \ of \ 25\\\\(F_2 = 25F_1)\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{F_1r_1^2}{25F_1}\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{r_1^2}{25}\\\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{r_1^2}{25} }\\\\ r_2 = \frac{r_1}{5}

r₂ = 0.2r₁

Therefore, the separation between the charges was decreased by a factor of 0.2.

If Bert the Bat travels East at 200 meters in 10 seconds, what is his velocity?
dexar [7]

Answer:

20m/s due east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Displacement eastward  = 200m

Time  = 10s

Unknown:

Velocity  = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the displacement divided by time;

    Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}  

 Velocity  = \frac{200}{10}    = 20m/s due east

A 1.0 kg block is attached to an unstretched
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Change in  potential energy of the block-spring-Earth

system between Figure 1 and Figure 2 = 1 Nm.

Explanation:

Here, spring constant, k  = 50 N/m.

given block comes down eventually 0.2 m below.

here, g = 10 m/s.

let block be at a height h above the ground in figure 1.

⇒In figure 2, potential energy of the block-spring-Earth

system = m×g×(h - 0.2) + 1/2× k × x². where, x = change in spring length.

⇒ Change in  potential energy of the block-spring-Earth

system between Figure 1 and Figure 2 = (m×g×(h - 0.2)) - (1/2× k × x²)

              =  (1×10×0.2) - (1/2×50×0.2×0.2) = 1 Nm.
