You use a wedge that has a width of 2 cm and a slope length of 5.5 cm. What is the mechanical advantage of this wedge?

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Option B. 2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given in the question that a wedge has a width of 2 cm and a slope of 5.5 cm.We have to calculate the mechanical advantage of the given wedge.

We know the formula to calculate the mechanical advantage of the wedge

Mechanical advantage = Length of slope/Thickness of the widest end

= 5.5÷2 = 2.75

Therefore the answer is option B. 2.75

"a u.S. 1-cent coin (a penny) has a diameter of 19 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm". Assume the coin is made of pure copper, whose

choli [55]

the question is Calculate the value of the copper in the coin

Step 1

Find the volume of the coin

we know that

the volume of a cylinder is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2}h$

where

r is the radius of the coin

h is the thickness of the coin

in this problem we have

Diameter=19 mm=1.9 cm

r=D/2------> r=1.9/2=0.95 cm

h=1.5 mm=0.15 cm

substitute the values in the formula

$V=\pi*0.95^{2}*0.15=0.425\ cm^{3}$

Step 2

Find the mass of copper in the coin

we know that

the density is equal to

$Density=mass/volume$

Solve for the mass

$mass=Density*volume$

we have

$Density=8.9\ gr/cm^{3}\\Volume=0.425\ cm^{3}$

substitute in the formula

$mass=8.9*0.425=3.785\ gr$

Step 3

Find the cost

we know that

the market price of the copper is $2.15 per pound

1 pound=453.592 grams

convert gram to pounds

3.785 gr=3.785/453.592=0.0083 pounds

0.0083*$2.15=$0.018=$0.02

therefore

the answer is

$0.02

If we know the values of the sine and cosine of x and y, we can find the value of cos(x - y) by using the ____ Formula for Cosin

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$\cos(x - y) = \cos(x)\cos(y) + \sin(x)\sin(y)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\cos(x - y)$

Required

State the formula

From trigonometry identity, the formula of $\cos(x - y)$ is:

$\cos(x - y) = \cos(x)\cos(y) + \sin(x)\sin(y)$

What is the exact value of arccos(−2√2) ?

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of the cosine function is $-1\le \cos x\le 1$

Therefore $arc \cos (-2\sqrt{2})$ is not defined.

Assuming your question is rather $arc \cos (-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})$

Then $arc \cos (-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=\pi-arc \cos (\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})$ in the second quadrant.

$arc \cos (-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}$

$arc \cos (-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=\frac{3\pi}{4}$
