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>

What is the centripetal acceleration of the earth as it travels around the sun when Earth has an orbital radius of 1.5 x 10^11 m

masya89 [10]

Answer: $0.0058 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration $a_{C}$ is calculated by the following equation:

$a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$

Where:

$V=29.7 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=29700 m/s$ is the Earth's orbital speed

$r=1.5(10)^{11} m$ is the orbital radius

$a_{C}=\frac{(29700 m/s)^{2}}{1.5(10)^{11} m}$

$a_{C}=0.0058 m/s^{2}$
