Answer:

The amount of effort needed to move the box is 187.5 N

Explanation:

weight of the box = load moved by the ramp, L = 750 N

mechanical advantage of the ramp, MA = 4

effort needed to move the box, E = ?

Mechanical advantage is given as = Load / Effort

Effort = Load / Mechanical advantage

Effort = 750 / 4

Effort = 187.5 N

Therefore, the amount of effort needed to move the box on to the truck using a ramp is 187.5 N

A 0.2 kg hockey park is sliding along the eyes with an initial velocity of -10 m/s when a player strikes it with his stick, caus
babunello [35]

Answer:

The impulse applied by the stick to the hockey park is approximately 7 kilogram-meters per second.  

Explanation:

The Impulse Theorem states that the impulse experimented by the hockey park is equal to the vectorial change in its linear momentum, that is:

I = m\cdot (\vec{v}_{2} - \vec{v_{1}}) (1)

Where:

I - Impulse, in kilogram-meters per second.

m - Mass, in kilograms.

\vec{v_{1}} - Initial velocity of the hockey park, in meters per second.

\vec{v_{2}} - Final velocity of the hockey park, in meters per second.

If we know that m = 0.2\,kg, \vec{v}_{1} = -10\,\hat{i}\,\left[\frac{m}{s}\right] and \vec {v_{2}} = 25\,\hat{i}\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right], then the impulse applied by the stick to the park is approximately:

I = (0.2\,kg)\cdot \left(35\,\hat{i}\right)\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right]

I = 7\,\hat{i}\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right]

The impulse applied by the stick to the hockey park is approximately 7 kilogram-meters per second.

A particle makes 800 revolution in 4 minutes of a circle of 5cm. Find
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

i) The period of the particle is 0.3 seconds

ii) The angular velocity is approximately 20.94 rad/s

iii) The linear velocity is approximately 1.047 m/s

iv) The centripetal acceleration is approximately 6.98 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of revolution of the particle, n = 800 revolution

The time it takes the particle to make 800 revolutions = 4 minutes

The dimension of the circle = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Given that the dimension of the circle is the radius of the circle, we have;

i) The period of the particle, T = The time to complete one revolution

T = 1/(The number of revolutions per second)

∴ T = 1/(800 rev/(4 min × 60 s/min)) = 3/10 s

The period, T = 3/10 seconds = 0.3 seconds

ii) The angular velocity, ω = Angle covered/(Time)

800 revolutions in 4 minutes = Angle of (800 × 2·π) in 4 minutes

∴ ω = (800 × 2·π)/(4 × 60) = 20·π/3

The angular velocity, ω = 20·π/3 rad/s ≈ 20.94 rad/s

iii) The linear velocity, v = r × ω

∴ The linear velocity, v = 0.05 m × 20·π/3 rad/s = π/3 m/s ≈ 1.047 m/s

iv) The centripetal acceleration, a_c = v²/r

∴ The centripetal acceleration, a_c = (π/3)²/(0.05) = 20·π/9

The centripetal acceleration, a_c = 20·π/9 m/s² ≈ 6.98 m/s²

A boy is pulling a load of 150N with a string inclined at an angle 30 to the horizontal if the tension of string is 105N the for
Lorico [155]

The force tending to lift the load (vertical force) is equal to <u>22.5N.</u>

Why?

Since the boy is pulling a load (150N) with a string inclined at an angle of 30° to the horizontal, the total force will have two components (horizontal and vertical component), but we need to consider the given information about the tension of the string which is equal to 105N.

We can calculate the vertical force using the following formula:

VerticalForce=Force*Sin(30\° )=(BoysForce-StringForce)*\frac{1}{2}\\\\VerticalForce=(150N-105N)*\frac{1}{2}=VerticalForce=45N*\frac{1}{2}=22.5N

Hence, we can see that <u>the force tending to lift the load</u> off the ground (vertical force) is equal to <u>22.5N.</u>

Have a nice day!

What is displacement ​
omeli [17]

The word displacement implies that an object has moved, or has been displaced. Displacement is defined to be the change in position of an object.

Displacement is defined as the act of moving someone or something from one position to another or the measurement of the volume replaced by something else
