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.

Answer:

required distance is 233.35 m

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Sound intensity I = 1.62 × 10⁻⁶ W/m²

distance r = 165 m

at what distance from the explosion is the sound intensity half this value?

we know that;

Sound intensity I is proportional to 1/(distance)²

i.e

I ∝ 1/r²

Now, let r² be the distance where sound intensity is half, i.e I₂ = I₁/2

Hence,

I₂/I₁ = r₁²/r₂²

1/2 = (165)²/ r₂²

r₂² = 2 × (165)²

r₂² = 2 × 27225

r₂² = 54450

r₂ = √54450

r₂ = 233.35 m

Therefore, required distance is 233.35 m

A shoe and a shirt are released from the same height. They take different amounts of time to fall to the ground. How can this be
Law Incorporation [45]

The best explanation for the difference in time is: A. The difference in weight doesn't affect the time, but they are affected differently by air resistance.

<h3>What is weight?</h3>

Weight can be defined as the force acting on an object or a physical body due to the effect of gravity. Also, the weight of an object (body) is typically measured in Newton.

<h3>The factors that affect weight.</h3>

Some of the factors that affect the weight that is possessed by an object or a physical body include the following:

  • Mass
  • Distance
  • Air resistance

In conclusion, the weight possessed by the shoe and shirt has no effect on time but would be affected differently by air resistance.

A man walks 7 km East in 2 hours and then 2.5 km West in 1 hour. What is
madam [21]
<h2><u>How</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>solve</u><u>?</u></h2>

We know that, Velocity is the rate of displacement covered. Displacement is the shortest path between the Initial and Final point covered by the body. So,

  • Velocity = Displacement / Time

And, when it comes to Average velocity, It is the total displacement by total time taken. So, By using this let's solve this question.....

<h2><u>Solution</u><u>:</u></h2>

✏️ Refer to the attachment...

Let the body goes to point A that is 7 m East of the Initial point. Then it comes backward because West is opposite to East in perpendicular direction. It covers 1.5 m backwards in the same line to reach B which is the Final point.

So,

  • Displacement = Final point - Initial point

⇛ Displacement = 7 m - 1.5 m

⇛ Displacement = 5.5 m

Total time taken,

⇛ 2 hours + 1 hour

⇛ 3 hours

Finding Average displacement,

⇛ Total displacement / Total time taken

⇛ 5.5 m / 3 hours

⇛ 1.83333.... hours

So, the Final answer is,

\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \purple{1.8 \bar{3}m}}}}

A wheel of radius 30 cm is rotating at a rate of 2.0 revolutions every 0.080 s. (A) through what angle, in radians, does the whe
ioda

You said 2 revolutions every 0.08 seconds

1 revolution = 2pi radians.

A). The 'unit rate' is    (2 rev) x (2pi / 0.08 sec)  = 50pi radians/sec. =

                                                       157.1 radians per sec (rounded)

B). Radius of the wheel = 30 cm
     Circumference = 2pi R = 60pi cm = 188.5 cm (rounded)

     Rotation speed = 2 revs per 0.08 sec
     Linear speed =    2 x 60pi cm per 0.08 sec

                               (120pi cm) / (0.08 sec) = 47.12 meters per sec

C). Frequency = (revs) per second

                        = (2) / (0.08 sec) = 25 per second .

Consider the case in which the clay is launched along Path Y. The sphere of clay is launched with an initial velocity of v0 and
Helen [10]

Answer:

    w = \frac{m}{ml^2 + I R^2 }  v l

Explanation:

Let's form a system formed by the clay sphere and the rod, in this case the angular momentum is conserved

initial instant. Before the crash

          L₀ = m v l

Final moment. After the collision with the clay stuck to the rod

          L_f = I_{total} w

angular momentum is conserved

         L₀ = L_f

         m v l = I_total w

         w = \frac{m}{I_{total} }  v l

the total moment of inertia is the sum of the moments of inertia of the two bodies

the moment of inertia of the rod is

        I_rod = I R²

        I_total = m l² + IR²

we substitute

          w = \frac{m}{ml^2 + I R^2 }  v l
