A mover uses a ramp to load a crate of nails onto a truck. The crate, which must be lifted 1.5 m from the street to the bed of t

he truck, is pushed along the length of the ramp. If the ramp is 4.5 m long and friction between the ramp and crate can be ignored, what is the mechanical advantage of the ramp?

Answer:

<h2>3</h2>

Explanation:

Using the efficiency formula. Efficiency = MA/VR * 100%

MA = Mechanical Advantage

VR = velocity ratio = \frac{distance\ moved\ by\ effort}{distance\ moved\ by\ load}

Distance moved by effort = 4.5m

distance moved by load = 1.5m

VR = 4.5/1.5 =3

Assuming efficiency is 100% (since friction can be ignored)

100% = MA/3 * 100%

1 = MA/3

MA = 3*1

MA = 3

Mechanical Advantage of the ramp is 3

Define orbital velocity
sveta [45]

the Orbital Velocity is the velocity sufficient to cause a natural or artificial satellite to remain in orbit. Inertia of the moving body tends to make it move on in a straight line, while gravitational force tends to pull it down. The orbital path, elliptical or circular, representing a balance between gravity and inertia, and it follows a rue that states that the more massive the body at the centre of attraction is, the higher is the orbital velocity for a particular altitude or distance.

Describe the initial horizontal and vertical velocity of a horizontally launched projectile on Earth, as well as what happens to
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

To explain this, let's consider a tennis ball being launched from the top of a very high building.

Now, if the tennis ball is launched horizontally without any upward angle but with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. In this motion, If there is no gravity, the tennis ball would continue in motion at that same speed of 10 m/s in the horizontal direction. However, in reality, gravity causes the tennis ball to accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s for every second. This implies that the vertical velocity component is changing at the rate of 9.8 m/s every second.

Thus, after 1 second, horizontal velocity component will remain 10 m/s and vertical component will be 9.8 m/s × 1 = 9.8 m/s downwards.

Also, after 2 seconds, the vertical velocity component will remain 10 m/s, however the vertical component will now be 9.8 × 2 = 19.6 m/s downwards.

Same procedure is repeated as t increases by 1 second.
