Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 2.875

Explanation:

Given:

A diagram is shown below for the above scenario.

Length of ramp (Effort arm) = 4.6 m

Height of truck bed ( Resistance length) = 1.6 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) is the ratio of effort arm and resistance length.

So, mechanical advantage is given as,

$MA=\frac{\textrm{Effort arm}}{\textrm{Resistance length}}= \frac{4.6}{1.6}=2.875$

A rock is thrown vertically upward from some height above the ground. It rises to some maximum height and falls back to the grou

True [87]

Answer:

At the highest point the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward.

Explanation:

This is a free-fall problem, in the case of something being thrown or dropped, the acceleration is equal to -gravity, so -9.80m/s^2. So, the acceleration is never 0 here.

I attached an image from my lecture today, I find it to be helpful. You can see that because of gravity the acceleration is pulled downwards.

At the highest point the velocity is 0, but it's changing direction and that's why there's still an acceleration there.

A bowling ball of mass 5.8 kg moves in a straight line at 4.34 m/s How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass 2.214 g move in a stra

lilavasa [31]

Answer: 11369.46 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$m_{1}=5.8 kg$ is the mass of the bowling ball

$V_{1}=4.34 m/s$ is the velocity of the bowling ball

$m_{2}=2.214 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.002214 kg$ is the mass of the ping-pong ball

$V_{2}$ is the velocity of the ping-pong ball

Now, the momentum $p_{1}$ of the bowling ball is:

$p_{1}=m_{1}V_{1}$ (1)

$p_{1}=(5.8 kg)(4.34 m/s)$

$p_{1}=25.172 kg m/s$ (2)

And the momentum $p_{2}$ of the ping-pong ball is:

$p_{2}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (3)

If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:

$p_{1}=p_{2}$ (4)

$m_{1}V_{1}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (5)

Isolating $V_{2}$ :

$V_{2}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{2}}$ (6)

$V_{2}=\frac{25.172 kg m/s}{0.002214 kg}$ (7)

Finally:

$V_{2}=11369.46 m/s$

How large a force is necessary to stretch a 4.0-mm-diameter steel wire from its original length by 1.0%?

jekas [21]

The force needed to stretch the steel wire by 1% is 25,140 N.

The given parameters include;

diameter of the steel, d = 4 mm

the radius of the wire, r = 2mm = 0.002 m

original length of the wire, L₁

final length of the wire, L₂ = 1.01 x L₁ (increase of 1% = 101%)

extension of the wire e = L₂ - L₁ = 1.01L₁ - L₁ = 0.01L₁

the Youngs modulus of steel, E = 200 Gpa

The area of the steel wire is calculated as follows;

$A = \pi r^2\\\\ A= 3.142 \times (0.002)^2\\\\ A= 1.257 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2$

The force needed to stretch the wire is calculated from Youngs modulus of elasticity given as;

$E = \frac{stress}{strain} = \frac{F/A}{e/L} = \frac{FL}{Ae} \\\\F = \frac{EAe}{L}$

$F = \frac{200 \times 10^9\ \times\ 1.257\times 10^{-5}\ \times \ 0.01l_1}{l_1} \\\\F = 25,140\ N$

Thus, the force needed to stretch the steel wire by 1% is 25,140 N.
