The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of an inclined plane is given by:

where L is the length of the inclined plane while h is the height.
In our problem, L=120 m and h=40 m. Therefore, the IMA of the ski lift is
Answer:
Explanation:
Electrical energy = potential x charge
potential = 12V ,
Charge = 95 amp-hours
= 95 x 60 x 60 coulomb
= 342000 coulomb
Electrical energy stored in battery = 342000 x 12
= 4104000 J
= 4.1 x 10⁶ J .
Power P is the rate at which energy is generated or consumed and hence is measured in units that represent energy E per unit time t. This is:
P = E/t
Solving for t:
t = E/P
t = 6007 J / 500 W
t = 12.014 s
<h2>
t ≅ 12 s</h2>
Answer:
The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.
Explanation:
given,
1 nautical mile = 6076 ft
1 knot = 1 nautical mile /hour
1 knot = 6076 ft/hr
speed of boat = 8 knots
8 knots = 8 nautical mile /hour
=
= 13.50 ft/s
The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.
Answer:
1 joule = 0.737 foot-pound
Joule is the unit of work.
1 J = 1 N·m
In SI units
1 J = 1 kg· m/s²
0.737 foot-pound is the amount of work to raise 0.737 pounds one foot or raising one pound to 0.737 ft.
