<u>Answer: </u>

C option is  correct

20 movable and 20 fixed pulleys required

<u>Explanation: </u>

To lift a 27,800 N elephant with a 700 N drive,  

27800/700=39.7  

the individual requires a mechanical favorable position of 39.7 which is equivalent to 40. A solitary movable pulley gives a mechanical favorable position of 2, two portable pulleys yield a mechanical preferred standpoint of 4, and a framework with three movable pulleys results in a mechanical favorable position of 6. In light of this example, 20 movable pulleys and 20 fixed are required to give a mechanical preferred standpoint of 40

Answer:

C. 20fixed, 20moveables

Explanation:

Efficiency of a machine = MA/VR × 100%

MA is the mechanical advantage

VR is the velocity ratio of the pulley

MA = Load/Effort

MA = 27,800N/700N

MA = 39.71

The velocity ratio formula depends on the type of machine. Since the machine in question is a block and tackle system, the velocity ratio will be the number of pulleys in the system.

Using the efficiency formula to get the VR

100 = 39.71/VR × 100

39.71/VR = 1

VR = 39.71

VR = 40(approximately)

This means that the minimum number of pulleys that the person will require to lift the load is 40pulleys i.e 20fixed, 20moveables

A cannon with a muzzle speed of 1 000 m/s is used to start an avalanche on a mountain slope. The target is 2 000 m from the cann
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

∅ = 89.44°

Explanation:

In situations like this air resistance are usually been neglected thereby making g= 9.81 m/s^{2}

Bring out the given parameters from the question:

Initial Velocity (V_{1}) = 1000 m/s

Target distance (d) = 2000 m

Target height (h) =  800 m

Projection angle ∅ = ?

Horizontal distance = V_{1x}tcos ∅     .......................... Equation 1

where V_{1x} = velocity in the X - direction

           t = Time taken

Vertical Distance = y = V_{1y} t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}        ................... Equation 2

Where   V_{1y} = Velocity in the Y- direction

              t  = Time taken

V_{1y} = V_{1}sin∅

Making time (t) subject of the formula in Equation 1

                    t = d/(V_{1x}cos ∅)

                      t = \frac{2000}{1000coso} = \frac{2}{cos0}  =    \frac{d}{cos o}             ...................Equation 3

substituting equation 3 into equation 2

Vertical Distance = d = V_{1y} \frac{d}{cos o} - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{2}{cos0}   ^{2}

                                  Vertical Distance = h = sin∅ \frac{d}{cos o} - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{2}{cos0}   ^{2}

  Vertical Distance = h = dtan∅   - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{2}{cos0}   ^{2}

  Applying geometry

                              \frac{1}{cos o} = tan^{2} o + 1

  Vertical Distance = h = d tan∅   - 2 g (tan^{2} o + 1)

               substituting the given parameters

               800 = 2000 tan ∅ - 2 (9.81)( tan^{2} o + 1)

              800 = 2000 tan ∅ - 19.6( tan^{2} o + 1)  Equation 4

Replacing tan ∅ = Q     .....................Equation 5

In order to get a quadratic equation that can be easily solve.

            800 = 2000 Q - 19.6Q^{2} + 19.6

Rearranging 19.6Q^{2} - 2000 Q + 780.4 = 0

                    Q_{1} = 101.6291

                      Q_{2} = 0.411

    Inserting the value of Q Into Equation 5

                 tan ∅ = 101.63    or tan ∅ = 0.4114

Taking the Tan inverse of each value of Q

                  ∅ = 89.44°     ∅ = 22.37°

Assume the equation x 5 At3 1 Bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having
igomit [66]

Answer:

(a) A = m/s^3, B = m/s.

(b) dx/dt = m/s.

Explanation:

(a)

x = At^3 + Bt\\m = As^3 + Bs\\m = (\frac{m}{s^3})s^3 + (\frac{m}{s})s

Therefore, the dimension of A is m/s^3, and of B is m/s in order to satisfy the above equation.

(b) \frac{dx}{dt} = 3At^2 + B = 3(\frac{m}{s^3})s^2 + \frac{m}{s} = m/s

This makes sense, because the position function has a unit of 'm'. The derivative of the position function is velocity, and its unit is m/s.

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

stove

Explanation:

The stove is the independent variable in this question as it does not depend on anything like other variables such as pot, water, temperature and of cause pasta.

The pot depends on the stove, the water depends on the pot and stove, the pasta depends on the water and its temperature.

Cheers.
