A wheel is being turned to open a valve on a compressor. The resistance that is applied to the axle of the valve is 235 lb. The

diameter of the wheel that is being turned is 20in and an effort force of 45 lb is being applied to the wheel. What is the required diameter of the axle to overcome the resistance force

Answer:

3.8 in

Explanation:

A wheel and axle machine is a machine in which the wheel rotates around the rod (axle). They rotate together thereby transferring force among each other.

The formula for a wheel and axle is:

Fr * Rr = Fe * Re

Where Fr is the resistance force, Rr is the radius of the resistance force, Fe is the effort force and Re is the radius of the resistance force.

Given that: Fr = 235 lb, Fe = 45 lb, Re = 20 in / 2 = 10 in. Hence:

235 * Rr = 45 * 10

Rr = 45 * 10 / 235

Rr= 1.9 in

Diameter of axle = 2 * 1.9 = 3.8 in

An ant crawls along a sidewalk with a velocity of 0.1 m/s in a direction that is 45° relative to edge of the sidewalk. If it has
Marat540 [252]

Answer:14 s

Explanation:

Given

Velocity of ant is 0.1 m/s in a direction 45^{\circ}

if it has traveled 1 m perpendicular to the edge of the sidewalk

i.e. from diagram

\sin 45=\frac{1}{L}

L=\sqrt{2}

time=\frac{Distance}{speed}

t=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{0.1}

t=14.14 s

Which characteristic of a sound is affected by the amount of energy used to create that sound? In what direction the sound will
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

How loud or soft the sound is

Explanation:

The loudness of a sound wave is given by the amount of energy that the pressure wave carries and it is measured in decibels (dB) which is the relative intensity of the pressure wave of a sound to the standard pressure

A loud sound has a high amplitude and a soft sound has a low amplitude, such that as the amplitude of the sound is increased, due to increased energy input, the sound becomes louder, and as the amplitude of the sound is decreased due to reduced energy input, the sound becomes softer.
