A sales clerk at a local hardware store sells you a hammer with a mechanical advantage of 10 when used to pry up nails. You are

able to create a force of 60 N. Using the hammer, what would be the maximum force that could be generated to remove a nail?

Answer:

W = 600 N

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of any machine is the ratio of the load or weight to the effort applied. Hence, the general formula for mechanical advantage is as follows:

M.A = W/P

where,

M.A =Mechanical Advantage of Hammer = 10

W = Maximum force that could be generated = ?

P = Force created by me = 60 N

Therefore,

10 = W/60 N

W = 10*60 N

<u>W = 600 N</u>

A traveling wave on a string can be described by the equation : y = (5.26 ~\text{m}) \cdot \sin \big( (1.65 ~\frac{\text{rad}}{\
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

  t = 1.77 s

Explanation:

The equation of a traveling wave is

       y = A sin [2π (x /λ -t /T)]

where A is the oscillation amplitude, λ the wavelength and T the period

the speed of the wave is constant and is given by

      v = λ f

Where the frequency and period are related

     f = 1 / T

we substitute

      v = λ / T

let's develop the initial equation

    y = A sin [(2π / λ) x - (2π / T) t +Ф]

where Ф is a phase constant given by the initial conditions

the equation given in the problem is

    y = 5.26 sin (1.65 x - 4.64 t + 1.33)

if we compare the terms of the two equations

 

         2π /λ = 1.65

          λ = 2π / 1.65

          λ = 3.81 m

         2π / T = 4.64

          T = 2π / 4.64

          T = 1.35 s

we seek the speed of the wave

           v = 3.81 / 1.35

           v = 2.82 m / s

           

Since this speed is constant, we use the uniformly moving ratios

          v = d / t

           t = d / v

           t = 5 / 2.82

           t = 1.77 s

What s physics?
Alex777 [14]

The answer is (B. The study of Matter and Energy) but technically you could consider physics all of these as engineering is based on physics and that would be the study of inventions, chemistry and biology were both discovered because of physics, and physics invokes more math than any other subject as it applies math to the entire Universe.

An aircraft with a mass of 10,000 kg starts from rest at sea level and takes off, then flies to a cruising speed of 620 km/h and
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of aircraft = 10000 kg

Speed = 620 km/h = 172.22 m/s

Altitude = 10 km = 1000 m

We calculate the change in potential energy

\Delta P.E=mg(h_{2}-h_{1})

\Delta P.E=10000\times9.8\times(10000-0)

\Delta P.E=10000\times9.8\times10000

\Delta P.E=980000000\ J

\Delta P.E=980\ MJ

For g = 10 m/s²,

The change in potential energy will be 1000 MJ.

We calculate the change in kinetic energy

\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_{2}^2-v_{1}^2)

\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times10000\times(172.22^2-0^2)

\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times10000\times(172.22^2)

\Delta K.E=148298642\ J

\Delta K.E=148.3\ MJ

For g = 10 m/s²,

The change in kinetic energy will be 150 MJ.

Hence, The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.
