The inventor of a new machine claims that its actual mechanical advantage is 4. Literature on the machine reports its input dist

ance is 81 meters and its output distance is 27 meters. Find the machine's ideal mechanical advantage, and determine whether the developer's claim could be true.

To solve this we are going to use the formula for ideal mechanical advantage: IMA= \frac{D_{I} }{D_{O}}
where 
IMA is the machine mechanical advantage 
D_{I} is the input distance 
D_{O} is the output distance

We know for our problem that D_{I}=81 and D_{O}=27. Lets replace those values in our formula to find IMA:
IMA= \frac{D_{I} }{D_{O}}
IMA= \frac{81}{27}
IMA=3

The ideal machine advantage of the machine is 3. The inventor is claiming that the actual mechanical advantage of the machine is 4. Since the actual mechanical advantage takes into account energy losses, it is always less than the ideal mechanical advantage. We can conclude that the developer's claim is false.

Answer:

A×B=C×D

500×0.5=250×X

250=250×X

X=250/250=1

X=1 m

Explanation:

note: if the force plus two, the distance will be half.

For the following elementary reaction 2br• -&gt; br2-. The rate of consumption of the reaction and the rate of formation of prod
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: -\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{d[Br^.]}{dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the rate of change of concentration per unit time.

Thus for reaction:

2Br^.\rightarrow Br_2

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

Rate=-\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}

or Rate=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

Thus -\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

A projectile is fired at v 0 = 381.0 m/s at an angle of θ = 73.5 ∘ , with respect to the horizontal. Assume that air friction wi
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of projection, vo = 381 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 73.5°

The formula for the range is

R=\frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

R=\frac{381^{2}Sin147 }{9.8}

R = 8067.4 m

Range in shorten by 34.1 %

So, the new range is

R' = 8067.4 - 34.1 x 8067.4/100

R' = 5316.4 m

Which force is represented by the arrow at
shutvik [7]

A is pulling the block straight down toward the center of the Earth, no matter what the slope of the plane may be. A is the force of gravity.

The directions of B and C both depend on the slope of the plane.

B is a force that's parallel to the plane, pulling the block UP the plane. B is the force of friction.

C is a force perpendicular to the plane, preventing the block from falling down through the plane. C is the normal force.
