Levers overcome a resistance when a force is applied. They have a fixed support to which they freely turn, called the fulcrum. In some levers, it is possible to increase speed by applying the force over a shorter distance than the resistance is moved. A proportional increase of force is needed for this.

It's a simple machine, consisting of a rigid bar that rotates about a fixed point which is known as "Fulcrum" (most important part), It <span>affects the effort, or force and do the amount of work

The human ear canal is about 2.9 cm long and can be regarded as a tube open at one end and closed at the eardrum. What is the fu
solniwko [45]

The frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

Explanation:

As the ear canal is like a tube with open at one end, the wavelength of sound passing through this tube will propagate 4 times its length of the tube. So wavelength of the sound wave will be equal to four times the length of the tube. Then the frequency can be easily determined by finding the ratio of velocity of sound to wavelength. As the velocity of sound is given as 339 m/s, then the wavelength of the sound wave propagating through the ear canal is  

Wavelength=4*Length of the ear canal

As length of the ear canal is given as 2.9 cm, it should be converted into meter as follows:

wavelength = 4*2.9*10^{-2} =0.116

Then the frequency is determined as

f=c/λ=339/0.116=2922 Hz=2.92 kHz.

So, the frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

Sandy is whirling a ball attached to a string in a horizontal circle over his head. If Sandy doubles the speed of the ball, what
jeka57 [31]

The tension in the string B) It quadruples.

Explanation:

The ball is in uniform circular motion in a horizontal circle, so the tension in the string is providing the centripetal force that keeps the ball in circular motion. So we can write:

T= m\frac{v^2}{r}

where:

T is the tension in the string

m is the mass of the ball

v is the speed of the ball

r is the radius of the circle (the lenght of the string)

In this problem, we are told that the speed of the ball is doubled, so

v' = 2v

Substituting into the previous equation, we find the new tension in the string:

T' = m \frac{(2v)^2}{r}=4(m\frac{v^2}{r})=4T

Therefore, the tension in the string will quadruple.

A nickel (5 cent coin) has a mass of 5.0 g. How many nickels are there in a stack of nickels with a mass of 10.0 kg?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2000 nickels

Explanation:

One way to solve proportionality problems, direct and inverse: the simple 3 rule.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct (when one magnitude increases so does the other), the simple direct rule of three must be applied.

On the contrary, if the relationship between the magnitudes is inverse (when one magnitude increases the other decreases) the rule of three simple inverse applies.

The simple 3 rule is an operation that helps us quickly solve proportionality problems, both direct and inverse.

To make a simple rule of three we need 3 data: two magnitudes proportional to each other, and a third magnitude. From these, we will find out the fourth term of proportionality.

In the simple three rule, therefore, the proportionality relationship between two known values ​​A and B is established, and knowing a third value C, a fourth value D is calculated.

A -> B

C -> D

Calculation

1 nickel --> 5 g

X? nickel --> 10000g

X = (10000 g * 1 nickel) / 5 g

X = 2000 nickels
