Given :

An inclined plane is used to lift a box into a moving truck. The ramp is 6 m long and 1.5 m.

To Find :

The mechanical advantage of the inclined plane.

Solution :

Mechanical advantage, M.A of an inclined plane is given by :

$M.A = \dfrac{\text{Length of slope}}{\text{Height of plane}}$

Putting given values in above equation, we get :

$M.A = \dfrac{6 \ m}{1.5 \ m}\\\\M.A = 4$

Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane is 4.

Yuri [45]

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. The time taken by the car will be 4 seconds. the correct answer is option(c).

When acceleration is constant, the rate of change in velocity is also constant. In the absence of any acceleration, velocity remains constant. When acceleration is positive, velocity becomes more significant.

Let a denote acceleration, u denote initial velocity, v denote final velocity, and t denote time.

The equation of motion is stated as,

v = u + at

v² = u² + 2as

A car travels across a distance of 60.0 m while accelerating constantly from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s.

Then the time taken by the car will be,

u = 12 m/s

v = 18 m/s

s = 60 m

Put these in the equation v² = u² + 2as.

18² = 12² + 2 x a x 60

a = 1.5

Then the time will be

18 = 12 + 1.5t

1.5t = 6

t = 4 seconds

Hence, the time taken is 4 s.

The complete question is:

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. How much time does it take?

1.00 s

2.50 s

4.00 s

4.50 s

An occupant of a car has a chance of surviving a crash if the deceleration during the crash is not more then 30 g. Calculate the

sweet [91]

Answer:

20,850 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using second Newton's Law:

$F=ma$

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 70 kg is the mass

$a=-30 g=-30 (9.8 m/s^2)=-294 m/s^2$ is the acceleration (which is negative, because it is a deceleration)

So, we can use the equation above to find the force:

$F=(70 kg)(-294 m/s^2)=-20580 N$

and the negative sign simply means that the force is in the opposite direction to the motion.
