Answer: 4
The mechanical advantage is the ratio of the force exerted by the object to the force applied to do work on it.
Here, Jeff tried to lift a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging board under the rock. Jeff who weighs 150 pounds uses all his weight to exert force on lever and lift rock.
Mechanical advantage, 
Therefore, the mechanical advantage that lever provided to Jeff in lifting rock is 4.
Answer:
1/4 times your earth's weight
Explanation:
assuming the Mass of earth = M
Radius of earth = R
∴ the mass of the planet= 4M
the radius of the planet = 4R
gravitational force of earth is given as = 
where G is the gravitational constant
Gravitational force of the planet = 
=
=
recall, gravitational force of earth is given as = 
∴Gravitational force of planet = 1/4 times the gravitational force of the earth
you would weigh 1/4 times your earth's weight
Answer:
570 N
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram on the rider. There are three forces: tension force 15° below the horizontal, drag force 30° above the horizontal, and weight downwards.
The rider is moving at constant speed, so acceleration is 0.
Sum of the forces in the x direction:
∑F = ma
F cos 30° - T cos 15° = 0
F = T cos 15° / cos 30°
Sum of the forces in the y direction:
∑F = ma
F sin 30° - W - T sin 15° = 0
W = F sin 30° - T sin 15°
Substituting:
W = (T cos 15° / cos 30°) sin 30° - T sin 15°
W = T cos 15° tan 30° - T sin 15°
W = T (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)
Given T = 1900 N:
W = 1900 (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)
W = 570 N
The rider weighs 570 N (which is about the same as 130 lb).
Answer:
inverse square relationship
Explanation:
Both the Newton's law of universal gravitation and coulomb's law have their force inversely proportion to the square of the distance between the bodies.
