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

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

A tray is moved horizontally back and forth in simple harmonic motion at a frequency of f = 2.07 Hz. On this tray is an empty cu

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of SHM is $f=2.07\ Hz$

Amplitude of SHM is $A=3.13\ cm$

Cup begins to slip when it overcomes the friction force

Friction force $F_s=\mu mg$

Applied force $F=ma$

$ma=\mu mg$

$a=\mu g$

and maximum acceleration during SHM is

$a=A\omega ^2$

$a=A(2\pi f)^2$

$a=3.13\times 10^{-2}\times (2\pi 2.07)^2$

$a=5.296\ m/s^2$

$\mu =\frac{a}{g}$

$\mu =\frac{5.296}{9.8}=0.54$

We know that the apple needs 5 seconds to reach the ground.

Each floor of the building has a height of 2.88m.

Now, when we drop something, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational one, so the acceleration of the apple is:

a = -g

for the velocity, we integrate the acceleration over time, and as the apple is dropped, we do not have any initial velocity, so we do not have a constant in the integration:

v = -g*t

for the position we integrate again, now we have an initial height H, so the position is:

p = (-g/2)*t^2 + H

now the apple hits the ground when p = 0, so we can solve this equation to find H.

i will use g = 9.8m/s^2

0 = (-4.9m/s^2)*(5s)^2 + H

H = 122.5 m

now knowing H, we can divide it by the height of a floor in the building and get the number of the floor.

N = 122.5m/2.88m = 42.5

this means that the apple was dropped in the floor 42 (the 0.5 means that the apple was not right where the floor 42 starts, it was dropped around the middle of the floor 42)
