Answer:

Please find detailed explanation of second class levers below

Explanation:

Levers are one of the classes of machine that possesses three levels namely: first class, second class and third claas. A second class lever is the level of levers in which the load (L) is in between the pivot (F) and the effort (E).

Examples of second class levers include; wheelbarrow, a bottle opener etc. In the bottle opener for example, the bottle lid (load) is in between the pivot of the opener and the hand opening it (effort).

A car is running at the speed of 45km/hr see a child 25 meter ahead and suddenly apllies a brakes. If the retradation of the car

Answer:

The car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.

Explanation:

In order to know if the car stops before the distance to the child, you take into account the following equation:

$x=x_o+v_ot-\frac{1}{2}at^2$ (1)

vo: initial speed of the car = 45km/h

a: deceleration of the car = 2 m/s^2

t: time

xo: initial distance to the child = 25m

x: final distance to the child = 0m

It is necessary that the solution of the equation (1) for time t are real.

You first convert the initial speed to m/s, then replace the values of the parameters and solve the quadratic polynomial for t:

$45\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=12.5\frac{m}{s}$

$0=25+12.5t-2t^2\\\\2t^2-12.5t-25=0\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{-(-12.5)\pm \sqrt{(-12.5)^2-4(2)(-25)}}{2(2)}\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{12.25\pm 18.87}{4}\\\\t_1=7.78s\\\\t_2=-1.65s$

You take the first value t1 because it has physical meaning.

The solution for t is real, then, the car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.

Chi walked 100 meters in 5 minutes. She took another 15 minutes to walk another 400 meters to reach her house. What is her avera

Law Incorporation [45]

Average speed is the ratio of total distance moved by Chi in total time interval

So here we will have

Total distance = 100 m + 400 m

$d = 500 m = 0.5 km$

Total time taken = 5 min + 15 min = 20 min

$T = \frac{20}{60} = \frac{1}{3} hour$

now by the formula of average speed we know that

$v_{avg} = \frac{d}{T}$

$v_{avg} = \frac{0.5 km}{1/3 h}$

$v_{avg} = 1.5 km/h$

so average speed will be 1.5 km/h

A machine part has the shape of a solid uniform sphere of mass 250 g and a diameter of 4.30 cm. It is spinning about a frictionl

zysi [14]

Answer: $\alpha =9.302\ rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

mass of sphere $m=250\ gm$

diameter of sphere $d=4.30\ cm$

radius $r=\frac{4.30}{2}\ cm$

$f=0.0200\ N$

friction will provide resisting torque so

$f\times r=I\times \alpha$

where $I=\text{moment of Inertia}$

$f=\text{friction force}$

$\alpha =\text{angular acceleration}$

$I=\frac{2}{5}mr^2$

$0.02\times r=\frac{2}{5}mr^2\times \alpha$

$\alpha =\frac{5}{2r}\times f$

$\alpha =\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{2}{4.3\times 10^{-2}}\times 0.02$

$\alpha =9.302\ rad/s^2$

(b)time taken to decrease its rotational speed by $21\ rad/s$

$t=\dfrac{\Delta \omega }{\alpha }$

$t=\dfrac{21}{9.302}$

$t=2.25\ s$
