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.

1. A runner has an initial speed of 2 [m/s] and slowly speeds up with a constant acceleration of

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Final Velocity = 4.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;. Initial velocity; u = 2 m/s

Constant Acceleration; a = 0.1 m/s²

Distance; s = 100 m

To find the final velocity(v), we will use one of Newton's equations of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

v² = 2² + 2(0.1 × 100)

v² = 4 + 20

v² = 24

v = √24

v = 4.9 m/s

Find the voltage change when: a. An electric field does 12 J of work on a 0.0001-C charge. b. The same electric field does 24 J

kondaur [170]

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) Work done by the electric field is 12 J on a 0.0001 C of charge. The electric potential is defined as the work done per unit charged particles. It is given by :

$V=\dfrac{W}{q}$

$V=\dfrac{12}{0.0001}$

$V=12\times 10^4\ Volt$

(b) Similarly, same electric field does 24 J of work on a 0.0002-C charge. The electric potential difference is given by :

$V=\dfrac{W}{q}$

$V=\dfrac{24}{0.0002}$

$V=12\times 10^4\ Volt$

Therefore, this is the required solution.

If you went to a planet that had the twice the radius as Earth, but the same mass, a 1 kg pineapple would have a weight of

kicyunya [14]

Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass m₁ and m₂ a distance r apart is

F = G m₁ m₂ / r²

where G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is

F = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²

F ≈ 9.81 N

Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)g, where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.

This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of

F = G m₁ m₂ / (2r)² = 1/4 G m₁ m₂ / r²

i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.
