It's the angle made by the incident ray when it's perpendicular to the surface. (Perpendicular lines are the lines that form a graph or like a 90-degree angle)
Should be true.
it's been awhile since I was learning this
A. IMA: 4
The Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) is given by:
where
is the input distance
is the output distance
For the pulley system in this problem, and , so the IMA is
B. MA: 3.59
The actual mechanical advantage (AMA), or simply the Mechanical Advantage (MA), is given by
where is the output force and is the input force. For the pulley system in this problem, and , so the MA is
C. Efficiency: 89.8 %
The efficiency of a machine is equal to the ratio between the MA and the AMA:
Therefore, in this case,
Answer:
Explanation:
From the exercise we know that the force on the plane is 7934N upward at an angle of 54.2º.
If analyze the forces in the vertical direction, the acceleration is zero because the plane is moving with constant velocity
∑
So, the <u><em>weight of the plane</em></u> is 6435N
Answer:
Explanation:
If we consider the ideal conditions, the force acting on the bob of the pendulum is only the gravitational force and the tension force in the string, s the pendulum keeps oscillating.
But in general practice, the pendulum stops after some time, it is due to the force of friction due to air and some dissipative forces due to the thread, etc. These force tries to stop the motion of bob and then eventually it stops.
