Answer:
See the explanation below.
Explanation:
A lever is a simple machine that changes the magnitude and direction of the force applied to move an object. Minimizes the force needed to lift the object.
By means of the following image, we can see the principle of operation of a lever.
The load can be moved thanks to the force multiplied by the distance to the fulcrum.
Answer:
Explanation:
The sandpaper block did not move because the forces of friction and gravity were balanced.
Answer:
Train accaleration = 0.70 m/s^2
Explanation:
We have a pendulum (presumably simple in nature) in an accelerating train. As the train accelerates, the pendulum is going move in the opposite direction due to inertia. The force which causes this movement has the same accaleration as that of the train. This is the basis for the problem.
Start by setting up a free body diagram of all the forces in play: The gravitational force on the pendulum (mg), the force caused by the pendulum's inertial resistance to the train(F_i), and the resulting force of tension caused by the other two forces (F_r).
Next, set up your sum of forces equations/relationships. Note that the sum of vertical forces (y-direction) balance out and equal 0. While the horizontal forces add up to the total mass of the pendulum times it's accaleration; which, again, equals the train's accaleration.
After doing this, I would isolate the resulting force in the sum of vertical forces, substitute it into the horizontal force equation, and solve for the acceleration. The problem should reduce to show that the acceleration is proportional to the gravity times the tangent of the angle it makes.
I've attached my work, comment with any questions.
Side note: If you take this end result and solve for the angle, you'll see that no matter how fast the train accelerates, the pendulum will never reach a full 90°!
The answer is C. Hope this helps.
I would say the plastic grip because glass, wood, and plastic are all good conductors of electricity
