<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.

A bird flies 3.7 meters in 46 seconds, what is its speed?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Speed is 0.08 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the distance that the bird flies = 3.7 meters

The time is taken by the bird to fly the 3.7 meters = 46 seconds  

We have given distance and time. Now we have to find the speed at which the bird flies. So, to calculate the speed of the bird we have to divide the distance by the time.  

Below is the formula to find the speed.

Speed = Distance / Time

Now insert the given value in the formula.

Speed = 3.7 / 46 = 0.08 m/s

A book falls of the table and hits the floor. Is work done? Why?​
morpeh [17]

<u>Yes, work is done when a book falls of the table.</u>

This is because:

When the book falls, it's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.   As it reaches the floor down, this kinetic energy is converted to heat energy and sound energy due to the impact.

When a force is imposed on an object to cause displacement of that object, work is done on that object. For a force to do work on an object, there should be a displacement and this force should cause the displacement. So here, since the book falls from the table and causes the displacement of the book from the table to the floor. It is said that work is done.

Work can be given by the formula:

W = F • d

where F is the force and d is the displacement.

An ocean wave traveling in one direction has a wavelength of 1.0 m and a frequency of 1.25 Hz. Take the direction of wave propag
aliina [53]

Answer:

a) v=1*1.25=1.25\: m/s

b) y(x,t)=2sin(2\pi( x-1.25 t)  

c) y(3,10)=1.73 m    

Explanation:

a) The speed of a wave is given by the following equation:

v=\lambda f

Where:

λ is the wavelength

f is the frequency

v=1*1.25=1.25\: m/s

b) The harmonic wave has the following equation:

y=Asin(kx-\omega t)

A is the amplitude (2 m)

k is the wavenumber (2π/λ)  

ω is the angular frequency (2πf)

y(x,t)=2sin(2\pi x-2\pi*1.25 t)  

y(x,t)=2sin(2\pi( x-1.25 t)  

c) Here we need to find the heigth at x=3 m and t =10 s, so we need to find y(3,10).

y(3,10)=2sin(2\pi(3-1.25*10)

y(3,10)=2sin(2\pi(3-1.25*10)              

y(3,10)=1.73 m              

I hope it helps you!
