A 7 cm thick and 20 cm long wedge is used to pierce a 3cm long log of diameter 20cm what is the velocity ratio of the wedge

Physics
1 answer:
stiks02 [169]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The velocity ratio of the wedge is 0.15

Explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the velocity ratio

Velocity Ratio = Distance Moved by effort / Distance moved by Load

Where

Distance Moved by effort = 3cm

Distance moved by Load = 20 cm

Placing values in the formula

Velocity Ratio = 3cm / 20 cm

Velocity Ratio = 0.15

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!?<br> I NEED HELP PLEASE!!
Dmitry [639]
The first one is decreases because there are less molecules in the air.
The second on would be the last option, August 29, because a new moon occurs every 29 days.
The answer for the last one would be A, I presume, because when air masses arrive at a destination, it becomes dry.

A 1-kg block is lifted vertically 1 m at constant speed by a boy. The work done by the boy is about:
Igoryamba

Answer:

9.8\; {\rm J}, assuming that the gravitational field strength is g = 9.8\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}.

Explanation:

Notice that both the speed and the direction of motion of this block are constant. In other words, the velocity of this block is constant.

By Newton's Second Law, the net force on this block would be 0. External forces on this block should be balanced. Thus, the magnitude of the (downward) weight of this block should be equal to the magnitude of the (upward) force that the boy applies on this block.

Let m denote the mass of this block. It is given that m = 1\; {\rm kg}. The weight of this block would be:

\begin{aligned}\text{weight} &= m\, g \\ &= 1\; {\rm kg} \times 9.8\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \\ &= 9.8\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

Hence, the force that the boy applies on this block would be upward with a magnitude of F = 9.8\; {\rm N}.

The mechanical work that a force did is equal to the product of:

  • the magnitude of the force, and
  • the displacement of the object in the direction of the force.

The displacement of this block (upward by s = 1\; {\rm m}) is in the same direction as the (upward) force that this boy had applied. Thus, the work that this boy had done would be the product of:

  • the magnitude of the force that this boy exerted, F = 9.8\; {\rm N}, and
  • the displacement of this block in the direction, s = 1\; {\rm m}.

\begin{aligned}\text{work} &= F\, s \\ &= 9.8\; {\rm N} \times 1\; {\rm m} \\ &= 9.8\; {\rm J}\end{aligned}.

A dense metal sphere is dropped from a 10-meter tower, and at the exact same time an identical metal sphere is thrown horizontal
givi [52]

Answer:

A. Both spheres land at the same time.

Explanation:

The horizontal motion doesn't affect the vertical motion.  Since the two spheres have the same initial vertical velocity and same initial height, they land at the same time.
