For this case we must draw the free body diagram of the apple.

It is observed in the attached figure that we have the force of the wind acting to the right, in addition to the force of the weight that goes down.

Mg: It is the force exerted by the weight of the apple (M: It is the mass and g: It is the acceleration of gravity)

F_ {1}: It is the force exerted by the wind

Then, the net force will be given by:

F_ {n} = \sqrt {(Mg) ^ 2 + (F_ {1}) ^ 2}

We have to:

Mg = 0.25kg * 9.8 \frac {m} {s ^ 2} = 2.45N\\F_ {1} = 1.05N

Substituting we have:

F_ {n} = \sqrt {(2.45) ^ 2 + (1.05) ^ 2}\\F_ {n} = \sqrt {6.0025 + 1.1025}\\F_ {n} = \sqrt {7.105}\\F_ {n} = 2.66

Thus, the net force acting on the apple is 2.66N

Option D

In a second order lever system the force ratio is 2.5, the load is at the distance of 0.5m from the fulcrum find distance of eff
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

1.25 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force ratio = 2.5

Distance of load from the fulcrum = 0.5 m

Distance of effort =.?

The distance of the effort from the fulcrum can be obtained as illustrated below:

Force ratio = Distance of effort / Distance of load

2.5 = Distance of effort / 0.5

Cross multiply

Distance of effort = 2.5 × 0.5

Distance of effort = 1.25 m

Therefore, the distance of the effort from the fulcrum is 1.25 m

love history [14]

Answer:

625 W

Explanation:

Applying

P = W/t.................... Equation 1

Where p = power, W = Work, t = time

But,

W = Force (F) × distance (d)

W = Fd........................ Equation 2

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = Fd/t.................... Equation 3

From the question,

Given: F = 5000 N, d = 30 m, t = 4 munites = (4×60) seconds = 240 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 3

P = (5000×30)/240

P = 625 Watt

When do dementia come about
Cerrena [4.2K]
Dementia is a brain disease that causes a decline in memory and cognitive functioning at a much more rapid rate that is expected due to normal aging. There is no known cure and no set age that dementia can occur, but roughly 10% of people will develop it at some point in their lives. It typically affects older people and about 50% of people over 85 have dementia.
