A force of 11 N is applied to the handle of a screwdriver being used to pry off the lid of a paint can. As the input force moves

through a distance 0.3 m, the screwdriver does 3 J of work on the lid. What is the efficiency of the screwdriver? Show your work

Joules =mass over a distance
11N*0.3m=3.3 Joules
efficiency= energy out/energy in *100%
energy out =energy of the tool=3 J
Energy in = added energy (man)=3.3 J
3/3.3*100%=90.91%

Answer : The efficiency of the screwdriver is 90.91\%

Explanation :

Applied force on the handle of screwdriver, F = 11 N

Distance covered by the input force, d = 0.3 m

Output work, W_o=3\ J

Efficiency of the screwdriver is given by the following relation :

E=\dfrac{W_o}{W_i}\times 100

E=\dfrac{3\ J}{11\ N\times 0.3\ m}\times 100

E=90.91\%

Hence, this is the required solution.

An eartly method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel.
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance traveled by light = 2 x 550 m = 1100 m

time taken by light to travel this distance = 1100 / 3 x 10⁸

=  366.67 x 10⁻⁸ s

angle between two consecutive slots = 2π / 500 rad

= .004π

angular velocity of wheel = angle moved / time taken

= .004π / 366.67 x 10⁻⁸

= 1091π radian / s

b )  linear speed of a point on the edge of the wheel

= ω R , r is radius of wheel , ω is angular velocity.

= 1091π x 5 x 10⁻²

= 1712.8 m /s

A cell supplies current of 0.6A and 0.2A through 1ohms and 4.0ohms resistor respectively. Calculate the internal resistance of t
Vlad [161]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.5Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Since different currents are passing through the resistors, then the resistors are most probably connected in parallel. This also means that the same voltage will pass across them.

Using Ohm's law, the voltage across a resistor in a circuit is given by;

V = I(R + r)            -----------(i)

<em>For the 1ohm resistor, the voltage across it is given by;</em>

<em>Where;</em>

I = current passing through the 1 ohm resistor = 0.6A

R = resistance of the 1 ohm resistor = 1Ω

r = internal resistance of the cell = r

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

V = 0.6(1 + r)                 -------------------(ii)

<em>For the 4.0ohm resistor, the voltage across it is given by;</em>

<em>Where;</em>

I = current passing through the 4.0 ohms resistor = 0.2A

R = resistance of the 4.0 ohms resistor = 4.0Ω

r = internal resistance of the cell = r

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

V = 0.2(4.0 + r)                 -------------------(iii)

<em>Now solve equations (ii) and (iii) simultaneously;</em>

V = 0.6(1 + r)

V = 0.2(4.0 + r)

Substitute the value of V in equation (ii) into equation (iii). Therefore, we have;

0.6(1 + r) = 0.2(4.0 + r)

<em>Solve for r</em>

0.6 + 0.6r = 0.8 + 0.2r

0.6r - 0.2r = 0.8 - 0.6

0.4r = 0.2

r = \frac{0.2}{0.4}

r = 0.5

Therefore, the internal resistance of the cell is 0.5Ω

A snowboarder starts from rest on an inclined planar snow surface and gives herself a tiny push to start sliding down the hill.
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

v = 26.52 m/s

Explanation:

Here we know that as she passes the flag she will gain some speed

so here we can say that

Work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy of the system

so we will have

W_g + W_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

here we know that

W_g = mgh

W_f = -\mu mg d

v_i = 0

h = 39.78 m

d = 27.81 m

so we have

mgh - \mu mg d = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0

(9.8)(39.78 - (0.14)(27.81)) = \frac{1}{2} v^2

v = 26.52 m/s

The maximum lift-to-drag ratio of the World War I Sopwith Camel was 7.7. If the aircraft is in flight at 5000 ft when the engine
andre [41]

The related concepts to solve this problem is the Glide Ratio. This can be defined as the product between the height of fall and the lift-to-drag ratio. Mathematically, this expression can be written as,

R = h (\frac{L}{D})_{max}

Replacing,

R = 5000ft (7.7)

R = 38500ft

Converting this units to miles.

R = 38500ft (\frac{1mile}{5280ft})

R = 7.2916miles

Therefore the glide in terms of distance measured along the ground is 7.2916miles
