define a compound machine in comparison to a simple machine. name a simple machine and a compound machine

1 answer:

6 0

A compound machine is a machine composed of two or more simple machines. Common examples are bicycles, can openers and wheelbarrows. Simple machines change the magnitude or direction of a force without any motor. <span>Simple machines are generally easy to understand and work on simple principles. They include such things as levers, which grant mechanical advantage, and wedges, which redirect relative motion, and wheels of various sorts, from pulleys to bicycle gears. </span>

Why do the waves have different speeds in different layers of Earth's surface?

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Material's density

Explanation:

Seismic waves travel at different rates of speed based on a material's density. Hopefully, you understand that the Earth has three main layers: the crust, mantle, and core. Earthquake waves move faster through solids.

A 25 kg bear slides, from rest, 12 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 5.6 m/s just before hitting the ground.

Answer:

(A) -2940 J

(B) 392 J

(C) 212.33 N

Explanation:

mass of bear (m) = 25 kg

height of the pole (h) = 12 m

speed (v) = 5.6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s

(A) change in gravitational potential energy (ΔU) = mg(height at the bottom- height at the top)

height at the bottom = 0

= 25 x 9.8 x (0-12) = -2940 J

(B) kinetic energy of the Bear (KE) = $0.5mv^{2}$

= $0.5 x 25 x 5.6^{2}$ = 392 J

change in KE (ΔKE) = initial KE - final KE
ΔKE = $0.5mv^{2}$ - $0.5mvf^{2}$
when the Bear reaches the bottom of the pole, the final velocity (Vf) is 0, therefore the change in kinetic energy becomes ΔKE = $0.5x25x5.6^{2}$ - 0 = 392 J
