During the last shot of the game, the basketball goes from rest to 15 m/s and reaches the backboard in 0.41 s. What was the acce

Anna [14]

Answer: a= 37m

Explanation: V= 15 m/s (Velocity) t= 0.41s (time) formula: a= v/t

15 m/s / 0.41 (15 divided by 0.41) = 36.583m

There are 2 significant digits, 36, you look at the third digit, either round up or down in this case up to 36. a= 37m

What is the mechanical advantage of a nail puller where you exert a force 45 cm from the pivot and the nail is 1.8 cm on the oth

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the distance of the input load (Li)from the pivot to the output load applied to the pivot(Lo)

MA = Li/Le

Given;

Li = 45cm

Lo = 1.8cm

MA = 45/1.8

MA = 25

Hence the mechanical advantage is 25

Also MA is expressed in terms of the force ratio which is the ratio of the Load to the effort applied.

MA = Load/Effort

Given

Load = 1250N

MA = 25

Effort = ?

Substitute

25 = 1250/Effort

Effort = 1250/25

Effort = 50N

Hence the minimum force exerted on the load is 50N

A team of eight dogs pulls a sled with waxed wood runners on wet snow (mush!). The dogs have average masses of 18.5 kg, and the

meriva

Answer:

a. $2.86 m/s^2$

b.1058 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of each dog,M=18.5 kg

Mass of sled with rider,m=250 kg

a.Average force,F=185 N

$\mu_s=0.14$

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

By Newton's second law

$8F-f=(8M+m)a$

$a=\frac{8F-f}{8M+m}=\frac{8(185)-(0.14)(9.8)(250)}{8(18.5)+250}$

$a=2.86 m/s^2$

b.By Newton's second law

$T=ma+\mu_s mg$

Substitute the values

$T=250\times 2.86+0.14(250)(9.8)=1058 N$

Hence, the force in the coupling between the dogs and the sled=1058 N

Which statement is true about an atom and an element?

Lemur [1.5K]

"<span>An atom is the smallest unit of matter and an element is a pure substance that is made of identical atoms" is correct. Although atoms can be broken down further now, it still take a whole atom to make an element. </span>

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.
