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 forceF_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.

One of the factors that determines the ? of a capacitor is the frequency measured in hertz.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The reactance of the capacitor

Explanation:

In an AC circuit containing different elements (capacitors, resistors and inductors), we cannot simply calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit, so another quantity is used, which is called reactance.

For a capacitor, the reactance is given by:

X=\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}

where:

f is the frequency of the AC current in the circuit

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

The reactance has a similar meaning to that of the resistance for a DC current. In fact, we notice that:

- When f=0 (which means we are in regime of DC current, because the current never changes direction), the reactance is infinite. This is correct: in a DC circuit, the capacitor does not let current pass through it, so it like it has infinite resistance (=infinite reactance)

- When f tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero: in such situation, the current in the circuit changes direction so quickly that the capacitor has no enough time to "block" the current in the circuit, so it like it has almost zero resistance (zero reactance).

Light waves have some similarities with water and sound waves, but they are not exactly the same. Describe all the differences y
makkiz [27]

<u>Answer:</u>


<h2>All the waves are pertubations that propagate (transport) energy.</h2><h2></h2>

Nevertheless, they have some differences:


1. Light waves are<u> electromagnetic waves</u>, while sound and water waves are <u>mechanical waves</u>, this is the first and principal difference.  

2. Electromagnetic waves can<u> propagate in vacuum</u> (they do not need a medium or material), but mechanical waves obligatory need a material to propagate

3. Light waves are always <u>transversal waves</u>, this means <u>the oscillatory movement is in a direction that is perpendicular to the propagation</u>; but mechanical waves may be both: <u>longitudinal waves</u> (the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation) or transversal waves.

4. Electromagnetic waves propagates at a <u>constant velocity</u> (Light velocity) while the velocity of mechanical waves will depend on the type of wave and the <u>density</u> of the medium or material.

5. <u>Mechanical waves</u> are characterized by the regular variation of a single magnitude, while <u>electromagnetic waves</u> are characterized by the variation of two magnitudes: the electric field and the magnetic field

6. <u>Water waves</u> are 2-dimensional waves, while the <u>light and the sound</u> are tridimensional spherical waves

7. Light waves <u>transports energy in the form of </u><u>radiation</u>, while mechanical waves t<u>ransport energy with </u><u>material</u>

A 2100-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 5.00 m before coming into contact w
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

   f = 878,080 N

Explanation:

mass of pile driver (m) = 2100 kg

distance of pile driver to steel beam (s) = 5 m

depth of steel driven (d) = 12 cm = 0.12 m

acceleration due to gravity (g0 = 9.8 m/s^{2}

calculate the average force exerted on the pile driver by the beam.

  • from work done = force x distance
  • work done = change in potential energy of the pile driver
  • equating the two equations above we have

               force x distance = m x g x (s - d)

              f x 0.12 = 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12))

              d = - 0.12 because the steel beam went down at we are taking its  

              initial position to be an origin point which is 0

              f = ( 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12)) ) ÷ 0.12

                   f = 878,080 N

A 2.2 kg model rocket is shot straight up in the air from the ground, with an initial velocity of 36.4 m/s. The rocket reaches i
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ignoring friction, the initial kinetic energy will convert to maximum potential energy at its highest point.

PE = KE

mgh = ½mv²

    h = v²/2g

    h = 36.4²/ (2(9.81))

    h = 67.53109...

    h = 67.53 m

Mary travelled 70 miles/hour due north. This is an example of what?
kolezko [41]
I believe this would be an example of Mary's velocity. We have her speed and direction which is all you need to find velocity.
