Answer:

Option D

MA=5

Explanation:

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

$MA=\frac {Effort arm length}{Load arm length}$

Substituting 15 inches for the effort arm length and 3 inches for the load arm length then we obtain the mechanical advantage as

$MA=\frac {15}{3}=5$

KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

It is given that, the position of a particle as as function of time t is given by :

$r(t)=(8t+9)i+(2t^2-8)j+6tk$

Let v is the velocity of the particle. Velocity of an object is given by :

$v=\dfrac{dr(t)}{dt}$

$v=\dfrac{d[(8t+9)i+(2t^2-8)j+6tk]}{dt}$

$v=(8i+4tj+6k)\ m/s$

So, the above equation is the velocity vector.

Let a is the acceleration of the particle. Acceleration of an object is given by :

$a=\dfrac{dv(t)}{dt}$

$a=\dfrac{d[8i+4tj+6k]}{dt}$

$a=(4j)\ m/s^2$

At t = 0, $v=(8i+0+6k)\ m/s$

$v(t)=\sqrt{8^2+6^2} =10\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

v = 0.489 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a box, m = 1.5 kg

The compression in the spring, x = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

Let the spring constant of the spring is 85 N/m

We need to find the velocity of the box (v) when it hit the spring. It is based on the conservation of energy. The kinetic energy of spring before collision is equal to the spring energy after compression i.e.

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{kx^2}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{85\times (0.065)^2}{1.5}} \\\\v=0.489\ m/s$

So, the speed of the box is 0.489 m/s.

Similar elements with similar properties were in the same groups and periods for instance lithium(Li) and sodium(Na) are alkaline metals and so belong to the same group (that is group 1).Also Hydrogen(H) and Helium(He) both have only one shell or energy level and so belong to the same period.
