Driving to work one morning, you get a flat tire. When using the car jack, you apply 120N of force to the jack and the jack in t

Answer:

16.7

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force to the input force.

MA = Fout / Fin

MA = 2000 N / 120 N

MA ≈ 16.7

Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over two frictionless pulleys. The block of mass m2 is attached to a spri
irina1246 [14]

(BELOW YOU CAN FIND ATTACHED THE IMAGE OF THE SITUATION)

Answer:

d=\frac{2g(m1-m2)}{k}

Explanation:

For this we're going to use conservation of mechanical energy because there are nor dissipative forces as friction. So, the change on mechanical energy (E) should be zero, that means:

E_{i}=E_{f}

K_{i}+U_{i}=K_{f}+U_{f} (1)

With K_{i} the initial kinetic energy, U_{i} the initial potential energy, K_{f} the final kinetic energy and U_{f} the final potential energy. Note that initialy the masses are at rest so K_{i} = 0, when they are released the block 2 moves downward because m2>m1 and finally when the mass 2 reaches its maximum displacement the blocks will be instantly at rest so K_{f} =0. So, equation (1) becomes:

U_{i}=U_{f} (2)

At initial moment all the potential energy is gravitational because the spring is not stretched so U_{i}=U_{gi} and at final moment we have potential gravitational energy and potential elastic energy so U_{f}=U_{gf}+U_{ef}, using this on (2)

U_{gi}=U_{gf}+U_{ef} (3)

Additional if we define the cero of potential gravitational energy as sketched on the figure below (See image attached), U_{gi}=0 and we have by (3) :

0= U_{gf}+U_{ef} (4)

Now when the block 1 moves a distance d upward the block 2 moves downward a distance d too (to maintain a constant length of the rope) and the spring stretches a distance d, so (4) is:

0=-m1gd+m2gd+\frac{kd^{2}}{2}

dividing both sides by d

0=-m1g+m2g+\frac{kd}{2}

g(m1-m2)= \frac{kd}{2}

d=\frac{2g(m1-m2)}{k}, with k the constant of the spring and g the gravitational acceleration.

Which acceleration-time graph corresponds to the motion of the car if it moves toward the right, while slowing down at a steady
Bumek [7]

We define acceleration as the rate of change of the velocity

Thus, if you have positive velocity and positive acceleration, your <u>speed increases.</u>

If you have positive velocity and negative acceleration, your speed decreases.

Now you get the idea, we will see that the correct option is graph 1.

We know that the car moves towards the right (let's define this as "the car has positive velocity") and we also know that te car is slowing down constantly (thus the acceleration needs to be negative and constant).

By looking at the graphs, the only one with these properties is graph 1.

What measures air pressure.?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
That depends on what type of pressure you are attempting to measure, to measure Atmospheric pressure, you would use a Barometer. To measure things like tires, you could use a Tire Pressure Gauge. For Industrial processes and boilers, you would use a Manometer. For pressure vessels, you would use a Bordon Gauge.   <span />
