Why can't speed ratio ever equal mechanical advantage?

1 answer:

OLga [1]3 years ago

6 0

Efficiency of a simple machine is the ratio of mechanical advantage and speed ratio.

If mechanical advantage = speed ratio then efficiency = 1
Which is impossible for a practical machine due to presence of frictional force which wastes some energy and thus lowers the output

Picking up sound waves is the stage of listening that most people refer to as what?

kirill [66]

A. Picking up sound waves is the stage of listening that most people refer to as hearing.

<h3>What is hearing?</h3>

Hearing, or auditory perception, is the ability to perceive sounds through an organ, such as an ear, by detecting vibrations as periodic changes in the pressure of a surrounding medium.

During learning process, when someone picks up the sound waves directed to him/her, it is known as the act of hearing,

Thus, picking up sound waves is the stage of listening that most people refer to as hearing.

A photon of red light (wavelength = 710 nm) and a ping-pong ball (mass = 2. 40 × 10^-3 kg) have the same momentum. At what speed

Paha777 [63]

The speed of the ball moving is

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s$

what is momentum?

The momentum p of a classical object of mass m and velocity v is given by pclassical =mv.

For photons with wavelength λ,this equation does not hold.Instead, the momentum of the Photon is given by p Photon = h/λ

where,h is the planck's constant.

The momentum of the red Photon is

given:

$h = 6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {}^{2}/s(plancks \: constant)$

$λ = 700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} m(photons \: wavelength)$

$p \: photons = \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {} ^{2}/s }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9}m }$

$= 9.47 \times 10 {}^{ - 28}kgm /s$

since,the Photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum,we have

$pball = pphotons = \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm/s }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }$

$pball = mv,m = 2.40 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}kg$

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25} m/s$

Therefore, if the red photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum, the ping-pong ball must have a speed of approximately

$v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s$

Astronaut Sarah leaves Earth in a spaceship at a speed of 0.280c relative to Earth. Sarah's destination is a star-system 12.5 li

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

L= 12 light years

Explanation:

for length dilation we use the formula

$L=L_0\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

now calculating Lo

Lo = 12.5×365×24×3600×3×10^8

= 1.183×10^17 m

now putting the values of v and Lo in the above equation we get

$L=1.183\times10^{17}\sqrt{1-\frac{0.28c^2}{c^2} }$

= 1.136×10^17 m

L= $= \frac{1.136\times10^{17}}{365\times24\times3600\times3\times10^8}$ m

so L= 12 light years
