<h3>Answer:</h3>

1

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • A pulley is an example of a simple machine that is made up of ropes and wheels.
  • Mechanical advantage refers to the number of times that a simple machine multiplies the input force.
  • This means if a simple machine has a mechanical advantage of 5 then it means that it made the work done 5 times easier than without it.
  • It also means that one would apply 1/5 times the force they would have applied without the machine.
  • In this case, the pulley which is a simple machine requires you pull 3 times the amount of the rope. Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the machine is 1, which means the output force is equal to the input force.

vlada-n [284]
Given:
1st run: 20 meters North
2nd run: 15 meters East
time: 15 seconds

Average speed = total distance covered / total time taken
Ave. Speed = (20m + 15m) / 15s
Ave. Speed = 35m / 15s
Ave. Speed = 2 1/3  meters per second

Kitty [74]

Answer:

α = 0.0135 rad/s²

Explanation:

given,

t = 133 min = 133 x 60 = 7980 s

angular speed varies from 570 rpm to 1600 rpm

now,

570 rpm = 570 \times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}

              = 59.69 rad/s

1600 rpm =  = 570 \times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}

              = 167.6 rad/s

using equation of rotational motion

ωf = ωi + αt    

167.6 = 59.7 + α x 7980

α  x 7980 = 107.9

α = 0.0135 rad/s²

Initially a car accelerates at 2 m/s2 for x seconds. The car then travels at a velocity of -6 m/s for x seconds. If the car disp
Luda [366]

Answer:

The time travel is

t=8 s

Explanation:

a= 2 \frac{m}{s^{2} } \\v=-6 \frac{m}{s} \\x=16m

x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}

x_{f}=0-6*t+\frac{1}{2} *2*t^{2}

t^{2}-6*t-16=0\\ using :\\\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*c*a } }{2} \\\frac{-(-6)+/-\sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4*(-16)*(1) } }{2}=\frac{3}{2} +/- \frac{10}{2} \\t_{1} = 2s \\t_{2} = 8s

Check

t_{2}=8s

x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}

x_{f}=0-6*+\frac{1}{2} *2*8^{2}

x_{f}=-48+64\\x_{f}=16

A 75 kg ball carrier is running to the right at 6.5 m/s. An 80 kg defender is chasing the ball carrier running at 7.0 m/s. The d
Sophie [7]

Answer:

3,544.375Joules

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion, It is expressed as;

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

m is the mass of the body

v is the velocity

For the ball carrier;

KE = 1/2(75)(6.5)²

KE = 3168.75/2

KE = 1584.375Joules

For the defender;

KE = 1/2(80)(7)²

KE = 3920/2

KE = 1960Joules

The kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle = KE for the carrier + KE for the defender

kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle= 1584.375+1960 = 3,544.375Joules
