Why can't speed ratio ever equal mechanical advantage?

Physics
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

A ball is shot at an angle of 45 degrees into the air with initial velocity of 46 ft/sec. Assuming no air resistance, how high d
mestny [16]

Answer:

5.02 m

Explanation:

Applying the formula of maximum height of a projectile,

H = U²sin²Ф/2g...................... Equation 1

Where H = maximum height, U = initial velocity, Ф = angle, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: U = 46 ft/sec = 14.021 m/s, Ф = 45°

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

H = (14.021)²sin²45/(2×9.8)

H = 196.5884×0.5/19.6

H = 5.02 m.

Hence the ball goes 5.02 m high

The fast French train known as the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) has a scheduled average speed of 216 km/h. (a) If the train goes
faust18 [17]

Answer:

a)  r = 6122 m and b) v = 32.5 m / s

Explanation:

a) The train in the curve is subject to centripetal acceleration

         a = v2 / r

Where v is The speed and r the radius of the curve

They indicate that the maximum acceleration of the person is 0.060g,

        a = 0.060 g

        a = 0.060 9.8

        a = 0.588 m /s²

Let's calculate the radius

        v = 216 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1 h / 3600 s =

        v = 60 m / s

        r = v² / a

        r = 60² /0.588

        r = 6122 m

b) Let's calculate the speed, for a radius curve 1.80 km = 1800 m

        v = √a r

        v = √( 0.588 1800)

        v = 32.5 m / s

A tuning fork labeled 392 Hz has the tip of each of its two prongsvibrating with an amplitude of 0.600mma) What is the maximum s
DanielleElmas [232]

a) 1.48 m/s

The tuning fork is moving by simple harmonic motion: so, the maximum speed of the tip of the prong is related to the frequency and the amplitude by

v_{max}=\omega A

where

v_{max} is the maximum speed

\omega is the angular frequency

A is the amplitude

For the tuning fork in the problem, we have

\omega=2\pi f=2 \pi(392 Hz)=2462 rad/s, where f is the frequency

A=0.600 mm=6\cdot 10^{-4} m is the amplitude

Therefore, the maximum speed is

v_{max}=(2462 rad/s)(6\cdot 10^{-4}m)=1.48 m/s

b)  3.0\cdot 10^{-5} J

The fly's maximum kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2

where

m=0.0270 g=2.7\cdot 10^{-5} kg is the mass of the fly

v_{max}=1.48 m/s is the maximum speed

Substituting into the equation, we find

K=\frac{1}{2}(2.7\cdot 10^{-5}kg)(1.48 m/s)^2=3.0\cdot 10^{-5} J

Can someone answer this for meee?? w
Iteru [2.4K]

We know that either team is winning which means that the cumulative forces (sum of each girl force) on both teams are equal.

This means,

250 + 250 + 250 + 250 = 260 + 260 + 260 + x

being x the force of the fourth girl on the east team.

Solving to x, you get

x = (250 + 250 + 250 + 250) - (260+260+260)x = 1000 - 780x = 220

The fourth girl on the east is pulling with a force of 220N.
