Explanation:

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a specific or particular direction.

It is also the difference in the amount of energy expended in using an effort.

Work done is given as;

Work done = F x d CosФ

F is the force applied

d is the displacement

Ф is the angle

The unit of work done is in Joules.

A student fills a tank of radius r with water to a height of h1 and pokes a small, 1.0 cm diameter hole at a distance h2 from th

Alik [6]

when a hole is made at the bottom of the container then water will flow out of it

The speed of ejected water can be calculated by help of Bernuolli's equation and Equation of continuity.

By Bernoulli's equation we can write

$Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h = Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g *0$

Now by equation of continuity

$A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$

$\pi (0.2)^2 v_1 = \pi (0.01)^2 v_2$

from above equation we can say that speed at the top layer is almost negligible.

$v_1 = 0$

now again by equation of continuity

$\rho g h = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2$

$v = \sqrt{2 g h}$

here we have

$h = h_1 - h_2$

$h = 0.50 - 0.03 = 0.47m$

now speed is given by

$v = \sqrt{2* 9.8 * 0.47}$

$v = 3.03 m/s$

You use a lever to lift a heavy tree branch you apply a force of 50 n and the lever lifts the branch

valentinak56 [21]

1.8 is the mechanical advantage of the lever.

<h3>Definition of mechanical advantage</h3>

The theoretical mechanical advantage of a system is the ratio of the force that performs the useful work to the force applied, assuming there is no friction in the system.

The advantage gained by the use of a mechanism in transmitting force specifically the ratio of the force that performs the useful work of a machine to the force that is applied to the machine.

Mechanical advantage is given by the ratio of the load lifted to the force applied to lift the load.

In this case, Mechanical advantage=L/E where L is the load and E is the effort applied.

Mechanical advantage= 90/50 =1.8

Question-you use a lever to lift a heavy tree branch. you apply a force of 50 n and the lever lifts the branch with a force of 90 n. what is the mechanical advantage of the lever?

True or False: Amplitude can increase or decrease wavelength

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A. False, frequency can increase or decrease wavelength.

For example: a high frequency would mean there are shorter wavelengths that occur in a period. Meanwhile, a low frequency would indicate that the wavelengths are longer and in longer periods.

lanet R47A is a spherical planet where the gravitational acceleration on the surface is 3.45 m/s2. A satellite orbitsPlanet R47A

qaws [65]

$2.6×10^6\:\text{m}$

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity g is defined as

$g = G\dfrac{M}{R^2}$

and solving for R, we find that

$R = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{g}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)$

We need the mass M of the planet first and we can do that by noting that the centripetal acceleration $F_c$ experienced by the satellite is equal to the gravitational force $F_G$ or

$F_c = F_G \Rightarrow m\dfrac{v^2}{r} = G\dfrac{mM}{r^2}\:\:\:\:\:(2)$

The orbital velocity v is the velocity of the satellite around the planet defined as

$v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T}$

where r is the radius of the satellite's orbit in meters and T is the period or the time it takes for the satellite to circle the planet in seconds. We can then rewrite Eqn(2) as

$\dfrac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2} = G\dfrac{M}{r^2}$
