Why is the mechanical advantage of a bottle opener always greater than 1?

Physics

For a lever, the mechanical advantage is the ratio of the lever arms. Since the lever arm of the opener is always greater than that of the output arm, the mechanical advantage is greater than 1.

A space shuttle sits on the launch pad for 2.0 minutes, and then goes from rest to 4600 m/s in 8.0 minutes. Treat its motion as
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

a.) a = 0 ms⁻²

b.) a = 9.58 ms⁻²

c.) a = 7.67 ms⁻²

Explanation:

a.)

    Acceleration (a) is defined as the time rate of change of velocity

                       a = \frac{v_{2} - v_{1} } {t}  

Given data

 Final velocity = v₂ = 0 m/s

 Initial velocity = v ₁ = 0 m/s

  As the space shuttle remain at rest for the first 2 minutes i.e there is no change in velocity so,

                 a = 0 ms⁻²

b.)

     Given data

As the space shuttle start from rest, So initial velocity is zero

    Initial velocity = v₁ = 0 ms⁻¹

    Final velocity  = v₂ = 4600 ms⁻¹

     Time = t = 8 min = 480 s

By the definition of Acceleration (a)

             a = \frac{v_{2} - v_{1} } {t}  

             a = \frac{4600 - 0 } {480}

                     a = 9.58 ms⁻²

c.)

    Given data

As the space shuttle is at rest for first 2 min then start moving, So initial velocity is zero

    Initial velocity = v₁ = 0 ms⁻¹

    Final velocity  = v₂ = 4600 ms⁻¹

     Time = t = 10 min = 600 s

By the definition of Acceleration (a)

             a = \frac{v_{2} - v_{1} } {t}  

             a = \frac{4600 - 0 } {600}

                     a = 7.67 ms⁻²

A block sliding across a level surface has a mass of 2.5 kg and a mechanical energy of 20 joules. What is its velocity?
tia_tia [17]
Hi!

The energy of the block is 4 m/s

To calculate this, you need to use the equation for kinetic energy. The block is sliding (i.e. it's moving). If the object is sliding across a level surface, the only energy it has is kinetic energy, because there is no change in potential energy (which changes with height). So, the mechanical energy will be pure kinetic energy. The equation is the following, derived from the expression for kinetic energy:

v= \sqrt{ \frac{2*Ke}{m}}=\sqrt{ \frac{2*20 (kg*m^{2}*s^{-2}) }{2,5kg}}=4 m/s

Have a nice day!

when an object falls to the ground, only the object moves down but the earth's motion is not noticeable​.why?
vlada-n [284]
Both the object and earth pulls each other towards itself but since the mass and pulling force of objects are very small the pulling force of objects are negligible.
