NeX [460]2 years ago
3 0

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

In a nuclear physics experiment, a proton (mass 1.67×10^(−27)kg, charge +e=+1.60×10^(−19)C) is fired directly at a target nucleu
Arte-miy333 [17]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

In a nuclear physics experiment, a proton (mass 1.67 \times 10^(-27)kg, charge +e = +1.60 \times 10^(-19) C) is fired directly at a target nucleus of unknown charge. (You can treat both objects as point charges, and assume that the nucleus remains at rest.) When it is far from its target, the proton has speed 2.50 \times 10^6 m/s. The proton comes momentarily to rest at a distance 5.31 \times 10^(-13) m from the center of the target nucleus, then flies back in the direction from which it came. What is the electric potential energy of the proton and nucleus when they are 5.31 \times 10^{-13} m apart?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass of proton = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg

Charge of proton = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

Speed of proton = 2.50 \times 10^{6} m/s

Distance traveled = 5.31 \times 10^{-13} m

We will calculate the electric potential energy of the proton and the nucleus by conservation of energy as follows.

  (K.E + P.E)_{initial} = (K.E + P.E)_{final}

 (\frac{1}{2} m_{p}v^{2}_{p}) = (\frac{kq_{p}q_{t}}{r} + 0)

where,    \frac{kq_{p}q_{t}}{r} = U = Electric potential energy

     U = (\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v^{2}_{p})

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

        U = (\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v^{2}_{p})

            = (\frac{1}{2} \times 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \times (2.5 \times 10^{6})^{2})

            = 5.218 \times 10^{-15} J

Therefore, we can conclude that the electric potential energy of the proton and nucleus is 5.218 \times 10^{-15} J.

3. What is the potential energy of a 8 Newton book sitting on a shelf that is 12 meters high?​
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

P = 96 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the book, W = mg = 8 N

It is placed at a height of 12 m

We need to find the potential energy of the book. The potential energy of an object is given by the formula as follows :

E = mgh

mg = Weight

E=8\ N\times 12\ m\\E=96\ J

So, the potential energy of the book is 96 J.

Consider the image above. Vi = the initial velocity and Vf = the final velocity. Is there acceleration? Explain your answer.
lutik1710 [3]
<span><span>Velocity is a vector, and the initial and final ones are in opposite directions.
There must have been acceleration in order to change the direction of motion.</span>

A) No. The initial and final velocities are the same.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", and the initial and final velocities are NOT the same.

B) Yes. The ball had to slow down in order to change direction.
This is poor, and not the correct choice.
The "Yes" is correct, but the explanation is bad.
Acceleration does NOT require any change in speed.

C) No. Acceleration is the change in velocity. The ball's velocity is constant.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", there IS acceleration, and the ball's velocity is NOT constant.

D) Yes. Even though the initial and final velocities are the same, there is a change in direction for the ball.
This choice is misleading too.
The "Yes" is correct ... there IS acceleration.
The change in direction is the reason.
The initial and final velocities are NOT the same.  Only the speeds are.

An element's atomic number is 55. How many protons would an atom of this element have?
AfilCa [17]
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons the element has, so the element with the atomic number 55 has 55 protons.

What is your REASONING for this CLAIM? EXPLAIN WHY your claim is true.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

IV: speed of the fan

DV: time of cup ascent

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of mass in motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy it has because of its motion. As the speed of the fan increases, so does the kinetic energy, then it transfers energy to the Cup ascent.
