Answer:
2.7
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass (m) of box = 100 Kg
Length (L) of ramp = 4 m
Height (H) of ramp = 1.5 m
Mechanical advantage (MA) of ramp =?
Mechanical advantage of a ramp is simply defined as the ratio of the length of the ramp to the height of the ramp. Mathematically, it is given by:
Mechanical Advantage = Lenght / height
MA= L/H
With the above formula, we can obtain the mechanical advantage of the ramp as follow:
Length (L) of ramp = 4 m
Height (H) of ramp = 1.5 m
Mechanical advantage (MA) of ramp =?
MA = 4/1.5
MA = 2.7
Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the ramp is 2.7
Because the box keeps going straight at the same speed, while the seat under it speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.
It's not so much a "contradiction" as an approximation. Newton's law of gravitation is an inverse square law whose range is large. It keeps people on the ground, and it keeps satellites in orbit and that's some thousands of km. The force on someone on the ground - their weight - is probably a lot larger than the centripetal force keeping a satellite in orbit (though I've not actually done a calculation to totally verify this). The distance a falling body - a coin, say - travels is very small, and over such a small distance gravity is assumed/approximated to be constant.
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial velocity, u = 11.3 m/s
Angle above the horizontal, 
Time of flight :
Horizontal distance traveled is given by :
x = ut
x = 11.3 m/s × 1.32 s
x = 14.916 m
Maximum height is given by :
Hence, time of flight is 1.32 s, horizontal distance is 14.916 m and maximum height is 2.14 m.
