In a real system of levers, wheel or pulleys, the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) is less than the IMA (ideal mechanical advantage) because of the presence of friction.

In fact, the IMA and the AMA of a machine are defined as the ratio between the output force (the load) and the input force (the effort):
$IMA= \frac{F_{out}}{F_{in}}$
however, the difference is that the IMA does not take into account the presence of frictions, while the AMA does. As a result, the output force in the AMA is less than the output force in the IMA (because some energy is dissipated due to friction), and the AMA is less than the IMA.

What is the magnitude of the momentum of a 3400 kg airplane traveling at a speed of 450 miles per hour?

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of momentum of the airplane is $6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the airplane, m = 3400 kg

Speed of the airplane, v = 450 miles per hour

Since, 1 mile per hour = 0.44704 m/s

v = 201.16 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of momentum of the airplane. It is given by the product of mas and velocity such that,

$p=mv$

$p=3400\ kg\times 201.16 \ m/s$

$p=683944\ kg-m/s$

$p=6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s$

So, the magnitude of momentum of the airplane is $6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

1. Two-point charges, QA = +8 μC and QB = -5 μC, are separated by a distance r = 10 cm. What is the magnitude and direction of t

tiny-mole [99]

Explanation:

Charges, $q_1=8\ \mu C=8\times 10^{-6}\ C$

$q_2=-5\ \mu C=-5\times 10^{-6}\ C$

The distance between charges, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

We need to find the magnitude and direction of the electric force. It is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-6}\times 5\times 10^{-6}}{(0.1)^2}\\\\F=36\ N$

So, the required force between charges is 36 N and it is towards positive charge i.e. +8 μC.

Heat transfer by radiation depends on ____

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Infrared

Explanation:

This is the electromagnetic spectrum just above the visible light spectrum with higher energy (and higher frequency). This electromagnetic radiation is responsible for feeling the heat when you place your hand close to the side of a fire. It is also harnessed in night vision where bodies that emit some form of heat are visible due to their emission of IR.
