Answer:

Efficiency of wedge is the ratio of "work done by the machine to the work supplied to the machine".

Efficiency (η) = Work done by machine ÷ Work supplied

= 65 ÷ 75

= 0.86%

Efficiency of wedge is 86%

A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to

mart [117]

Answer:

Option B

The molecules in thermometer spread apart

Explanation:

The mercury within the thermometer spread apart leading to an increase in temperature reading in the thermometer. The spreading apart of mercury molecules is caused by an increase in kinetic energy of molecules and with time the increase in kinetic energy decreases making the reading to stop increasing hence constant.

Distinguish between physical and chemical changes. Include examples in your explanations.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Chemical changes are recognized when a substance changes its properties permanently and it cannot be the same substance as before.

Instead the physical changes implies that if you can return to the same substance through a reverse process.

Explanation:

A chemical change is, by example, a combustion, if a sheet of paper burns, its result is ashes, the ashes cannot go back to being a sheet of paper because its properties changed, heat energy was generated that changed matter permanently.

A physical change, by example, is that of freezing water, the water becomes ice, but this can easily become water again if the temperature is increased, its properties do not change and the chemistry of the substance does not change.

2.(Ramp section) Suppose the height of the ramp is h1= 0.40m, and the foot of the ramp is horizontal, and is h2= 1.5m above the

frozen [14]

Answer:

a) the distance that the solid steel sphere sliding down the ramp without friction is 1.55 m

b) the distance that a solid steel sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m

c) the distance that a spherical steel shell with shell thickness 1.0 mm rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.2 m

d) the distance that a solid aluminum sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m

Explanation:

Given that;

height of the ramp h1 = 0.40 m

foot of the ramp above the floor h2 = 1.50 m

assuming R = 15 mm = 0.015 m

density of steel = 7.8 g/cm³

density of aluminum = 2.7 g/cm³

a) distance that the solid steel sphere sliding down the ramp without friction;

we know that

distance = speed × time

d = vt --------let this be equ 1

according to the law of conservation of energy

mgh₁ = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²

v² = 2gh₁

v = √(2gh₁)

from the second equation; s = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$ at²

that is; t = √(2h₂/g)

so we substitute for equations into equation 1

d = √(2gh₁) × √(2h₂/g)

d = 2√( h₁h₂ )

we plug in our values

d = 2√( 0.40 × 1.5 )

d = 1.55 m

Therefore, the distance that the solid steel sphere sliding down the ramp without friction is 1.55 m

distance that a solid steel sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping;

we know that;

mgh₁ = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv² + $\frac{1}{2}$ $I_{}$ ω²

mgh₁ = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv² + $\frac{1}{2}$ ( $\frac{2}{5}$ mR²) ω²

v = √( $\frac{10}{7}$ gh₁ )

so we substitute √( $\frac{10}{7}$ gh₁ ) for v and t = √(2h₂/g) in equation 1;

d = vt

d = √( $\frac{10}{7}$ gh₁ ) × √(2h₂/g)

d = 1.69√( h₁h₂ )

we substitute our values

d = 1.69√( 0.4 × 1.5 )

d = 1.31 m

Therefore, the distance that a solid steel sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m

distance that a spherical steel shell with shell thickness 1.0 mm rolling down the ramp without slipping;

we know that;

mgh₁ = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv² + $\frac{1}{2}$ $I_{}$ ω²

mgh₁ = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv² + $\frac{1}{2}$ ( $\frac{2}{3}$ mR²) ω²

v = √( $\frac{6}{5}$ gh₁ )

so we substitute √( $\frac{6}{5}$ gh₁ ) for v and t = √(2h₂/g) in equation 1 again

d = vt

d = √( $\frac{6}{5}$ gh₁ ) × √(2h₂/g)

d = 1.549√( h₁h₂ )

d = 1.549√( 0.4 × 1.5 )

d = 1.2 m

Therefore, the distance that a spherical steel shell with shell thickness 1.0 mm rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.2 m

d) distance that a solid aluminum sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping.

we know that;

mgh₁ = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv² + $\frac{1}{2}$ $I_{}$ ω²

mgh₁ = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv² + $\frac{1}{2}$ ( $\frac{2}{5}$ mR²) ω²

v = √( $\frac{10}{7}$ gh₁ )

so we substitute √( $\frac{10}{7}$ gh₁ ) for v and t = √(2h₂/g) in equation 1;

d = vt

d = √( $\frac{10}{7}$ gh₁ ) × √(2h₂/g)

d = 1.69√( h₁h₂ )

we substitute our values

d = 1.69√( 0.4 × 1.5 )

d = 1.31 m

Therefore, the distance that a solid aluminum sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m
