You are out and about in the country and your father sees a rock that he really wants in the yard. Now you must get the very hea

vy rock into the back of a truck. The truck bed is 3 feet off the ground. Your father pulls out a 5-foot plank and begins to set up a ramp. At the same time, you (who know about mechanical advantage!) have found a plank that is 8 feet long, and you show it to your father.
Which plank will give you the most mechanical advantage? Calculate the MA for each plank.

HELP ME PLEASE! <3

A car goes forward along a level road at constant velocity. The additional force needed to bring the car into equilibrium is
liraira [26]

Answer: Frictional force

Explanation:

Since the body is moving at constant velocity, this means that the acceleration of the body is zero. Frictional force is a force of opposition which tends to oppose the moving force of an object on a flat surface.

Mathematically, summation of force on the car along the road will be

Fm - Ff = ma

Fm = moving force

Ff = frictional force

m = mass of the body

a = acceleration of the body

Since a = 0, we have;

Fm -Ff = 0

Fm = Ff (which shows that the two forces acting on the body are equal and opposite)

This frictional force will tend to keep the body at equilibrium.

3. A tennis ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 8.9 m/s. -9.81 gravity
otez555 [7]

Answer:

a. time is 0.91s

b. height is 4.04m

Explanation:

  • t = u/g
  • t = 8.9/9.81 = 0.91s
  • the time it takes for the tennis ball to reach its highest point is 0.91 seconds

  • S = u²/2g
  • S = 8.9²/2x9.81
  • s = 79.21/19.62
  • s = 4.04m

A pendulum is observed to complete 23 full cycles in 58 seconds. Determine the period and
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Frequency=0.39Hz

Explanation:

A pendulum completes 23 full cycles in 58 seconds

A pendulum completes 1 full cycle in 58/23=2.52 seconds

Time taken(t)=2.52 seconds

Now,

Frequency=1/time taken

Frequency=1/2.25

Frequency=0.39Hz

An object placed on an equal-arm balance requires 12 kg to balance it. when placed on a spring scale, the scale reads 12 kg. eve
Mkey [24]
<span>equal-arm balance = 12 kg spring scale = 2 kg The equal arm balance measures the mass of an object by using a counter mass on the opposite plate of the balance. The force of gravity affects both the mass being tested and the mass standards being compared against equally. So if the local gravitational field changes, those changes affect both the tested mass and the standard masses equally. Contrast that to the spring scale. In that scale, the spring provides a calibrated level of force irrespective of the local gravitational field. So if the local gravity is higher, the force indicated also is higher. And if the gravitational field is lower, the indicated force is also lower. The strength of the spring DOES NOT CHANGE with changes in the local gravitational field.</span>
