Answer:

2.7

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) of box = 100 Kg

Length (L) of ramp = 4 m

Height (H) of ramp = 1.5 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) of ramp =?

Mechanical advantage of a ramp is simply defined as the ratio of the length of the ramp to the height of the ramp. Mathematically, it is given by:

Mechanical Advantage = Lenght / height

MA= L/H

With the above formula, we can obtain the mechanical advantage of the ramp as follow:

Length (L) of ramp = 4 m

Height (H) of ramp = 1.5 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) of ramp =?

MA = 4/1.5

MA = 2.7

Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the ramp is 2.7

A net force of –8750N is used to stop of 1250.kg car travelling 25m/s. What braking distance is needed to bring the car to a hal

Karolina [17]

Answer:

d = 44.64 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Net force acting on the car, F = -8750 N

The mass of the car, m = 1250 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 25 m/s

Final speed, v = 0 (it stops)

The formula for the net force is :

F = ma

a is acceleration of the car

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{-8750}{1250}\\\\a=-7\ m/s^2$

Let d be the breaking distance. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{0^2-(25)^2}{2\times (-7)}\\\\d=44.64\ m$

So, the required distance covered by the car is 44.64 m.

At a picnic, there is a contest in which hoses are used to shoot water at a beach ball from three different directions. As a res

hram777 [196]

Answer:

F₃ = 122.88 N

θ₃ = 20.63°

Explanation:

First we find the components of F₁:

For x-component:

F₁ₓ = F₁ Cos θ₁

F₁ₓ = (50 N) Cos 60°

F₁ₓ = 25 N

For y-component:

F₁y = F₁ Sin θ₁

F₁y = (50 N) Sin 60°

F₁y = 43.3 N

Now, for F₂. As, F₂ acts along x-axis. Therefore, its y-component will be zero and its x-xomponent will be equal to the magnitude of force itself:

F₂ₓ = F₂ = 90 N

F₂y = 0 N

Now, for the resultant force on ball to be zero, the sum of x-components of the forces and the sum of the y-component of the forces must also be equal to zero:

F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ + F₃ₓ = 0 N

25 N + 90 N + F₃ₓ = 0 N

F₃ₓ = - 115 N

for y-components:

F₁y + F₂y + F₃y = 0 N

43.3 N + 0 N + F₃y = 0 N

F₃y = - 43.3 N

Now, the magnitude of F₃ can be found as:

F₃ = √F₃ₓ² + F₃y²

F₃ = √[(- 115 N)² + (- 43.3 N)²]

and the direction is given as:

θ₃ = tan⁻¹(F₃y/F₃ₓ) = tan⁻¹(-43.3 N/-115 N)

A technician is diagnosing a car that had both front brake hoses replaced 5,000 miles ago. An inspection reveals that the right

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Option B

Technician B only is correct

Explanation:

Technician a is wrong because the rupture was not caused by switching DOT (Department of Transportation) 3 and DOT 4 Brake fluids. As a matter of fact both brake fluids are compatible with most vehicular systems, and to a certain extent they can be used interchangeably without any adverse effect.

Technician B on the other hand, gives a more accurate reason, since a twisted brake hose will definitely fail and rupture once enough force is applied to it, which is most likely the case of what happened considering the mileage it ran before rupturing. Within this mileage, it is very possible for the pressure on the already twisted brake hose to have been damaging it gradually before finally making it to rupture.
