The correct answer to the question is unitless i.e the IMA of a mechanical system has no unit.

EXPLANATION:

The IMA of a mechanical system stands for ideal mechanical advantage. It can be defined as the number of times the input or effort force provided to the mechanical system is multiplied under ideal conditions. The ideal conditions means that the system is free from friction, air resistance etc.

Let us consider $d_{i}$ is the distance over which the input force is applied.

Let $d_{0}$ is the distance over which the output force is applied.

The ideal mechanical advantage of the system is calculated as -

IMA = $\frac{d_{i}} {d_{0}}$ .

Both $d_{i}\ and\ d_{0}$ are measured in distance unit.

Hence, IMA is a unitless physical quantity.

A spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, where x=0 is the equilibrium position of the spring. It is then compressed from x=0 to x=

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The same amount of energy is required to either stretch or compress the spring.

Explanation:

The amount of energy required to stretch or compress a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring:

$U=\frac{1}{2}k (\Delta x)^2$

where

k is the spring constant

$\Delta x$ is the stretch/compression of the spring

In the first case, the spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, so

$\Delta x = d-0=d$

and the amount of energy required is

$U=\frac{1}{2}k d^2$

In the second case, the spring is compressed from x=0 to x=-d, so

$\Delta x = -d -0 = -d$

and the amount of energy required is

$U=\frac{1}{2}k (-d)^2= \frac{1}{2}kd^2$

so we see that the amount of energy required is the same.

Lincoln weighs 400 newtons. What’s his mass rounded to the nearest kilogram? Assume that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 N/kg

Yanka [14]

Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration=400N, so mass=400/9.8=41kg approx.

Block A is accelerating with Block B at a rate of 0.800 m/s2 along a frictionless surface. It suddenly encounters a surface that

Natalija [7]

Answer:

$a=0.6\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

The attached figure shows the whole description. Considering the applied force is 100 N.

The acceleration of both blocks A and B, $a=0.8\ m/s^2$

Firstly calculating the mass m using the second law of motion as :

F = ma

m is the mass

$m=\dfrac{F}{a}$

$m=\dfrac{100\ N}{0.8\ m/s^2}$

m = 125 kg

It suddenly encounters a surface that supplies 25.0 N a friction, F' = 25 N

$(F-F')=ma$

$(100-25)=125\times a$

$a=\dfrac{75}{125}=0.6\ m/s^2$

So, the new acceleration of the block is $0.6\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

MArishka [77]

Complete Question:

Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bury itself just below the surface. What would have to be the mass of this asteroid, in terms of the earth’s mass M, for the day to become 25.0% longer than it presently is as a result of the collision? Assume that the asteroid is very small compared to the earth and that the earth is uniform throughout.

Answer:

m = 0.001 M
