Which description does the phrase "mechanical advantage" most closely relate to?

1 answer:

4 0

the ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it, used in assessing the performance of a machine. I would say the answer is D, but i'm not sure. :)

How can understanding velocity help to prevent a mid-air collision

dsp73

Answer:

To maintain enough time to prevent a collision, a system operating in air traffic where aircraft speed does not

fall below 100 km/h (most medium-sized UAVs and GA aircraft) will need to be able to detect obstacles which

subtend an arc-width of as small as 0.125 mra

valkas [14]

Complete Question:

Football player A has a mass of 110 kg, and he is running down the field with a velocity of 2 m/s. Football player B has a mass of 120 kg and is stationary. What is the total momentum after the collision?

Answer:

Total momentum = 220 Kgm/s.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

For footballer A

Mass, M1 = 110kg

Velocity, V1 = 2m/s

For footballer B

Mass, M1 = 120kg

Velocity, V1 = 0m/s since he's stationary.

To find the total momentum;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

$Momentum = mass * velocity$

a. To find the momentum of A;

$Momentum \; A = 110 * 2$

Momentum A = 220 Kgm/s.

b. To find the momentum of B;

$Momentum \; B = 120 * 0$

Momentum B = 0 Kgm/s.

c. To find the total momentum of the two persons;

$Total \; momentum = Momentum \; A + Momentum \; B$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Total \; momentum = 220 + 0$

Total momentum = 220 Kgm/s.

Suppose a thick nimbostratus cloud contains ice crystals and cloud droplets all about the same size. Which precipitation process

Ronch [10]

Answer:The most important process would be the ice crystal process

Explanation:

Ice crystal process also called Bergeron process requires numerous small water drops that are supercooled, which is a common feature in clouds between about 0° and -20°C or below, along with a small number of ice crystals. Therefore because the collision-coalescence process requires that cloud droplets be of varying size so that drops will fill at different speeds, the most important process would be the ice crystal process.

The charges and coordinates of two charged particles held fixed in the xy plane are: q1 = +3.3 µc, x1 = 3.5 cm, y1 = 0.50 cm, an

Readme [11.4K]

1) First of all, we need to find the distance between the two charges. Their distance on the xy plane is
$d= \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$
substituting the coordinates of the two charges, we get
$d= \sqrt{(3.5+2)^2+(0.5-1.5)^2}=5.6~cm=0.056~m$

2) Then, we can calculate the electrostatic force between the two charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ , which is given by
$F=k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}$
where $k_e=8.99\cdot10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant.
Substituting numbers, we get
$F=8.99\cdot10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2} \frac{(3.3\cdot10^{-6}~C) (-4\cdot10^{-6}~C)}{(0.056~m)^2} =-37.8~N$
and the negative sign means the force between the two charges is attractive, because the two charges have opposite sign.
