The AMA is calculated as:
AMA = force obtained / force applied
AMA = 400 / 40
AMA = 10

Answer: 10 is the actual mechanical advantage of the crowbar.

Explanation:

Force exerted on the crowbar,Input force $F_I$ = = 40 N

Force exerted by the crowbar,Output force $F_O$ = 400 N

Actual Mechanical Advantage :

$\frac{F_O}{F_I}=\frac{400 N}{40 N}=10$

10 is the actual mechanical advantage of the crowbar.

Jack travelled 360 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. Elaine

diamong [38]

Answer:

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Explanation:

Total Distance covered by Jack = 360km

Average Speed of Jack = 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = Distance / Average speed = 360 km / 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = 4.5 hours

As it is given the both Jack and Elain travelled the same amount of distance:

Total distance travelled by Elain = 360 km

It is given that Elain took 1.5 hourse more than Jack to cover the distance, so Time taken by Elain to cover the distance is = 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = Distance/ time = 360 km / 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

The mass of the car?

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

1050 kg

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is:

KE (kinetic energy) = 1/2 × m × v² where <em>m</em> is the <em>mass in kg </em>and <em>v</em> is the velocity or <em>speed</em> of the object <em>in m/s</em>.

We can now substitute the values we know into this equation.

KE = 472 500 J and v = 30 m/s:

472 500 = 1/2 × m × 30²

Next, we can rearrange the equation to make m the subject and solve for m:

m = 472 500 ÷ (1/2 × 30²)

m = 472 500 ÷ 450

m = 1050 kg

Hope this helps!

A 70.0-kg person throws a 0.0480-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 33.5 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 55.0 kg, c

saw5 [17]

Answer:

The final velocity of the thrower is $\bf{3.88~m/s}$ and the final velocity of the catcher is $\bf{0.029~m/s}$ .

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the thrower, $m_{t} = 70~Kg$ .

The mass of the catcher, $m_{c} = 55~Kg$ .

The mass of the ball, $m_{b} = 0.0480~Kg$ .

Initial velocity of the thrower, $v_{it} = 3.90~m/s$

Final velocity of the ball, $v_{fb} = 33.5~m/s$

Initial velocity of the catcher, $v_{ic} = 0~m/s$

Consider that the final velocity of the thrower is $v_{ft}$ . From the conservation of momentum,

$&& m_{t}v_{ft} + m_{b}v_{fb} = (m_{t} + m_{b})v_{it}\\&or,& v_{ft} = \dfrac{(m_{t} + m_{b})v_{it} - m_{b}v_{fb}}{m_{t}}\\&or,& v_{ft} = \dfrac{(70 + 0.0480)(3.90) - (0.0480)(33.5)}{70}\\&or,& v_{ft} = 3.88~m/s$

Consider that the final velocity of the catcher is $v_{fc}$ . From the conservation of momentum,

$&& (m_{c} + m_{b})v_{fc} = m_{b}v_{it}\\&or,& v_{fc} = \dfrac{m_{b}v_{it}}{(m_{c} + m_{b})}\\&or,& v_{fc} = \dfrac{(0.048)(33.5)}{(55.0 + 0.0480)}\\&or,& v_{fc} = 0.029~m/s$

Thus, the final velocity of thrower is $3.88~m/s$ and that for the catcher is $0.029~m/s$ .

#1 Not sure where to start. This is for AP Physics!

yaroslaw [1]

First,

$\rho=\dfrac mV$

where $\rho$ is density, $m$ is mass, and $V$ is volume. We can compute the volume of the roll:

$2.7\,\dfrac{\mathrm g}{\mathrm{cm}^3}=\dfrac{1275\,\mathrm g}V$

$\implies V\approx472.22\,\mathrm{cm}^3\approx4.72\,\mathrm m^3$

When the roll is unfurled, the aluminum will be a rectangular box (a very thin one), so its volume will be the product of the given area and its thickness $x$ . Note that we're assuming the given area is not the actual total surface area of the aluminum box, but just the area of the largest face (i.e. the area of one side of the unrolled sheet of aluminum).

So we have

$V=Ax$

where $A$ is the given area, so

$4.72\,\mathrm m^3=\left(18.5\,\mathrm m^2\right)x$

$\implies x\approx0.255\,\mathrm m=255\,\mathrm{mm}$

If we're taking significant digits into account, the volume we found would have been $V=470\,\mathrm m^3$ , in turn making the thickness $x=250\,\mathrm{mm}$ .
