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

2 answers:

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.)

Divide the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle

Data charts would use descriptive statistics to show accurate reading measured throughout the lab. Charts and graphs can also be used to show the progress and result of the lab.

When reading the printout from a laser printer, you are actually looking at an array of tiny dots.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The value is $y = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the pupil is $d_p = 4.2 \ mm = 4.2 *10^{-3} \ m$

The distance of the page from the eye $d = 29 \ cm = 0.29 \ m$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 500 \ nm = 500 *10^{-9} \ m$

The refractive index is $n_r = 1.36$

Generally the minimum separation of adjacent dots that can be resolved is mathematically represented as

$y = [ \frac{1.22 * \lambda }{d_p * n_r } ]* d$

$y = [ \frac{1.22 * 500 *10^{-9} }{4.2 *10^{-3} * 1.36} ]* 0.29$

$y = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \ m$

1. A 3.0 kg mass is tied to a rope and swung in a horizontal circle. If the velocity of the mass is 4.0 ms and

saul85 [17]

10.67m/s²

32N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the body = 3kg

velocity of the mass = 4m/s

radius of circle = 0.75m

Unknown:

centripetal acceleration = ?

centripetal force = ?

Solution:

The centripetal force is the force that keeps a radial body in its circular motion. It is directed inward:

Centripetal acceleration = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

v is the velocity of the body

r is the radius of the circle

putting in the parameters:

Centripetal acceleration = $\frac{4^{2} }{0.75}$

Centripetal acceleration = 10.67m/s²

Centripetal force = m $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

m is the mass

Centripetal force = mass x centripetal acceleration

= 3 x 10.67

= 32N

A 75 kg Spider Man running at 3.0 m/s jumps onto a trash can lid that has a mass of 10kg and that is already moving in the same

QveST [7]

In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.

75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s

The final velocity is 2.88 m/s
