How is the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle calculated?

Physics

Mechanical Advantage is the value which tells us the factor by which the machine is able to convert the force applied to it to its output.

Ideal Mechanical Advantage of wheel and axle is calculated by 

IMA = Wheel Radius / Axle Radius

By virtue, the higher the computed IMA the lower the force needed to be exerted, this is the purpose for using machine, lower input force but larger output. (The smalled the axle radius compared to the wheel radius is the better setup.)

Hey guys can you help me solve this problem "how long will it take a car travelling 30m/s to come to stop ifs its acceleration i
salantis [7]

Answer:

10 seconds.

Explanation:

We can use a kinematic equation where we know the final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration, and need to determine the time <em>t: </em>

<em />\displaystyle v_f = v_i + at<em />

<em />

The initial velocit is 30 m/s, the final velocity is 0 m/s (as we stopped), and the acceleration is -3 m/s².

Substitute and solve for <em>t: </em>

<em />\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (0\text{ m/s}) & = (30 \text{ m/s}) + (-3 \text{ m/s$^2$}) t \\ \\  t & = \frac{-30\text{ m/s}}{-3 \text{ m/s$^2$}} \\ \\ & = 10 \text{ s} \end{aligned}<em />

<em />

Hence, it will take the car 10 seconds to come to a stop.

A bullet with a mass m b = 11.5 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity v b = 249 m/s. The block is attached to a spring tha
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

0.358Kg

Explanation:

The potential energy in the spring at full compression = the initial kinetic energy of the bullet/block system

0.5Ke^2 = 0.5Mv^2

0.5(205)(0.35)^2 = 12.56 J = 0.5(M + 0.0115)v^2

Using conservation of momentum between the bullet and the block

0.0115(265) = (M + 0.0115)v

3.0475 = (M + 0.0115)v

v = 3.0475/(M + 0.0115)

plugging into Energy equation

12.56 = 0.5(M + 0.0115)(3.0475)^2/(M + 0.0115)^2

12.56 = 0.5 × 3.0475^2 / ( M + 0.0115 )

12.56 = 0.5 × 9.2872/ M + 0.0115

12.56 = 4.6436/ M + 0.0115

12.56 ( M + 0.0115 ) = 4.6436

12.56M + 0.1444 = 4.6436

12.56M = 4.6436 - 0.1444

12.56 M = 4.4992

M = 4.4992÷12.56

M = 0.358 Kg

You move a 25 n object 4 meters. find the work you did
d1i1m1o1n [39]
In physics, "work<span>" is when a force applied to an object moves the object in the same direction as the force. If someone pushes against a wall, no </span>work<span> is done on the system. It is calculated as follows:

Work = Force x distance
Work = 25 N x 4 meters
Work = 100 N.m</span>
