The efficiency of the machine is defined as

\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{in}}

Here

Work out is the work output and Work in is the work input

To find the Work in we have then

W_{in} = \frac{W_{out}}{\eta}

W_{in} = \frac{mgh}{\eta}

Replacing with our values

W_{in} = \frac{(58)(9.8)(3)}{73\%}

W_{in} = 2335.89J

The work done by the applied force is

W = Fd

Here,

F = Force

d = Distnace

Rearranging to find F,

F = \frac{W}{d}

F = \frac{2335.89J }{18}

F = 129.77N

Therefore the force exerted on the machine after rounding off to two significant figures is 130N

Ad libitum [116K]

A "screen" or even just a set of parallel bars are highly reflective to electromagnetic waves as long as the open spaces are small compared to the wavelengths.

"Grid" dishes work fine ... with less weight and less wind resistance ... for frequencies below about 3 GHz. (Wavelengths of at least 10 cm.)

(I even worked on a microwave system in South America where huge grid dishes were used on a 90-mile link.)

A man pushes a lawn mower on a level lawn with a force of 250N. If 40% of this force is directed downward, how much work is done
Dvinal [7]
When considering work, we always take the force directed along the axis of motion (in this case, the horizontal axis). If 40% of the force is directed downward, then 60% of the force is being directed horizontally, so the horizontal force is 250*0.6 = 150N. Work = Force * distance = 150N * 6.2m = 930J

Periodic Motion Problem, how to tackle this beast?
SSSSS [86.1K]
You can see the periodic motion as the projection over the diameter of a point moving with a circular motion.

The Amplitude will be the radius of the circumference and ω is the angular frequency (or speed) for both motions.

In the periodic motion, you will have maximum velocity at the center and it will be zero at the extremities, where the projection changes direction, while the acceleration will be maximum at the extremities and zero at the center.

The displacement will then be:
x(t) = A · cos(ωt)
And from this (using a little bit of calculus):
v(t) = A · ω · sin<span>(ωt)
a(t) = </span><span>A · <span>ω</span>² · cos(ωt)</span>

Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The solution is:tan(θ) = opp / adj tan(θ) = y/x xtan(θ) = y 
Find x:
x = y/tan(θ) 
So x = 3/tan(π/6) 
Perform implicit differentiation to get the equation:
dx/dt * tan(θ) + x * sec²(θ) * dθ/dt = dy/dt 
Since altitude remains the same, dy/dt = 0. Now... 
dx/dt * tan(π/6) + 3/tan(π/6) * sec²(π/4) * -π/4 = 0 
changing the equation, will give us:
dx/dt = [3/tan(π/6) * sec²(π/6) * π/4} / tan(π/6) ≈ 12.83 km/min

A 200 g block is pressed against a spring of force constant 1.40 kN/m until the block compresses the spring 10.0 cm. The spring
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the energy stored in a spring in relation to conservation of energy

Given data

Mass of block m =200g

To kg= 200/1000= 0.2kg

Spring constant k = 1.4kN/m

=1400N/m

Compression x= 10cm

In meter x=10/100 = 0.1m

Using energy considerations or energy conservation principles

The potential energy stored in the spring equals the kinetic energy with which the block move away from the spring

Potential Energy stored in spring

P.E=1/2kx^2

Kinetic energy of the block

K.E =1/mv^2

Where v = velocity of the block

K.E=P.E (energy consideration)

1/2kx^2=1/mv^2

Kx^2= mv^2

Solving for v we have

v^2= (kx^2)/m

v^2= (1400*0.1^2)/0.2

v^2= (14)/0.2

v^2= 70

v= √70

v= 8.36m/s

a. Distance moved if the ramp exerts no force on the block

Is

S= v^2/2gsinθ

Assuming g= 9. 81m/s^2

S= (8.36)^2/2*9.81*sin60

S= 69.88/19.62*0.866

S= 69.88/16.99

S= 4.11m
