Explain how machines can be useful if the output is always less than the input work

Physics
1 answer:
Anni [7]3 years ago
6 0

Because: Some of the work done by the machine is used to overcome the friction created by the use of the machine. ... Work output can never be greater than work input. Machines allow force to be applied over a greater distance, which means that less force will be needed for the same amount of work.

solong [7]

Answer:

0.71 m/s

Explanation:

We find the time it takes the stone to hit the water.

Using y = ut - 1/2gt² where y = height of bridge, u = initial speed of stone = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² (negative since it is directed downwards)and t = time it takes the stone to hit the water surface.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

y = ut - 1/2gt²

82.2 m = (0m/s)t - 1/2( -9.8 m/s²)t²

82.2 m = 0 + (4.9 m/s²)t²

82.2 m =  (4.9 m/s²)t²

t²  = 82.2 m/4.9 m/s²

t² = 16.78 s²

t = √16.78 s²

t = 4.1 s

This is also the time it takes the raft to move from 5.04 m before the bridge to 2.13 m before the bridge. So, the distance moved by the raft in time t = 4.1 s is 5.04 m - 2.13 m = 2.91 m.

Since speed = distance/time, the raft's speed v = 2.91 m/4.1 s = 0.71 m/s

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.
