Answer: <em>In order to calculate the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axel, you can divide the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle. If a wheel's radius is 60cm and its axle is 30cm, what is the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle? The output force of the wheel and axle is 2 times greater than the input force.</em>

gtnhenbr [62]

Correct question:

Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by

$U(x) = \frac{(2.0 Jm)}{x}+ \frac{(4.0 Jm^2)}{x^2}$

a) Suppose the particle is moving with a speed of 3.00 m/s when it is located at x = 1.00 m. What is the speed of the object when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

b) What is the magnitude of the force on the 4.00-kg particle when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

Answer:

a) 3.33 m/s

b) 0.016 N

Explanation:

a) given:

V = 3.00 m/s

x1 = 1.00 m

x = 5.00

$u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}$

At x = 1.00 m

$u(1) = \frac{-2}{1} + \frac{4}{1^2}$

= 4J

Kinetic energy = (1/2)mv²

$= \frac{1}{2} * 4(3)^2$

= 18J

Total energy will be =

4J + 18J = 22J

At x = 5

$u(5) = \frac{-2}{5} + \frac{4}{5^2}$

$= \frac{4-10}{25} = \frac{-6}{25} J$

= -0.24J

Kinetic energy =

$\frac{1}{2} * 4Vf^2$

= 2Vf²

Total energy =

2Vf² - 0.024

Using conservation of energy,

Initial total energy = final total energy

22 = 2Vf² - 0.24

Vf² = (22+0.24) / 2

$Vf = \sqrt{frac{22.4}{2}$

= 3.33 m/s

b) magnitude of force when x = 5.0m

$u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}$

$\frac{-du(x)}{dx} = \frac{-d}{dx} [\frac{-2}{x}+ \frac{4}{x^2}$

$= \frac{2}{x^2} - \frac{8}{x^3}$

At x = 5.0 m

$\frac{2}{5^2} - \frac{8}{5^3}$

$F = \frac{2}{25} - \frac{8}{125}$

= 0.016N

A generator makes electricity from _____ A. Chemical reactions B. Friction C. Kinetic energy D. Heat

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The answer is C. Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Generators don't actually create electricity. Instead, they convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit.

Kruka [31]

Try this solution (if it is possible, check it in other sources):

1. for m_Tarzan=75kg., initial_height=4m., end_height=0 m. and g=10 N/kg. Energy is:

$E=m_{Tarzan}*(H_{initial}-H_{end})*g=75*4*10=3000(J).$
