Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Efficiency of a machine can't be more than 1, so I assume you mean 40%.  (Remember, efficiency and mechanical advantage are not the same).

Efficiency is the ratio of work out of a system to the work in to the system.

e = Wout / Win

Work is force times distance, so:

e = (Fout × Dout) / (Fin × Din)

Rearranging:

Fin = (Fout × Dout) / (e × Din)

Fin = (Fout / e) × (Dout / Din)

Fin = (Fout / e) / (Din / Dout)

We know that e = 0.40, and Fout = 120 N.  Since there are 6 pulleys, we also know that Din/Dout = 6.

F = (120 N / 0.4) / 6

F = 50 N

A 22.0 kg child slides down a slide that makes a 37.0° angle with the horizontal. (a) What is the magnitude of the normal force
patriot [66]

Answer:

(a) 172.185 N

(b) 53^{\circ}

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the child, m = 22.0 kg

Angle, \theta = 37.0^{\circ}

Now,

(a) The magnitude of the normal force exerted by the slide on the child:

F_{N} = mgcos\theta

F_{N} = 22\times 9.8cos37^{\circ} = 172.185\ N

Now,

(b) The angle from the horizontal at which the force is directed is:

90^{\circ} - 37^{\circ} = 53^{\circ}

Wheel A has a radius of R and wheel B has a radius of 2R. Wheel A has all the mass at the rim, while wheel B has the mass unifor
azamat

Answer:

Wheel A.

Explanation:

The lesser the moment of inertia, the greater the angular acceleration. Then, the moments of inertia of each wheel are described below:

Wheel A

I_{A} = M\cdot R^{2}

Wheel B

I_{B} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M \cdot (2\cdot R)^{2}

I_{B} = 2\cdot M\cdot R^{2}

The wheel A accelerates faster in response to the torque.

Which of the following has potential but not kinetic energy?
gavmur [86]

The answer would be option D "a ball sitting on a shelf." Potential energy is the amount of energy a object has while it's at rest.. (or not moving) Kinetic energy is how much energy a object is while it's moving. So in this case it's option D because a ball sitting on a shelf isn't moving therefore it has potential energy. It's not option A because thats a example of kinetic energy since how the roller coaster is moving. It's not option B because it's kinetic energy because the bike is moving. It's also not option C because it's kinetic energy because the bird is moving.


Hope this helps!

An automobile engine delivers 55.0 hp. How much time will it take for the engine to do 6.22 × 105 J of work? One horsepower is e
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

15.2 s

Explanation:

Convert hp to W:

55.0 hp × 746 W/hp = 41,030 W

Power = energy / time

41030 W = 6.22×10⁵ J / t

t = 15.2 s
