Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?

Physics
1 answer:
Lelu [443]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.

Maru [420]

Answer:

c=0.14J/gC

Explanation:

A.

2) The specific heat will be the same because it is a property of the substance and does not depend on the medium.

B.

We can use the expression for heat transmission

Q=mc(T_2-T_1)

In this case the heat given by the metal (which is at a higher temperature) is equal to that gained by the water, that is to say

Q_1=-Q_2

for water we have to

c = 4.18J / g ° C

replacing we have

c_{metal}*(500g)(100\°C-25\°C)=-(250g)(4.18\frac{J}{g\°C})(20\°C-25\°C)\\c_{metal}=0.14\frac{J}{g\°C}

I hope this is useful for you

A.

2) El calor específico será igual porque es una propiedad de la sustancia y no depende del medio.

B.

Podemos usar la expresión para la transmisión de calor

Q=mc(T_2-T_1)

En este caso el calor cedido por el metal (que está a mayor temperatura) es igual al ganado por el agua, es decir

Q_1=-Q_2

para el agua tenemos que

c=4.18J/g°C

reemplazando tenemos

c_{metal}*(500g)(100\°C-25\°C)=-(250g)(4.18\frac{J}{g\°C})(20\°C-25\°C)\\c_{metal}=0.14\frac{J}{g\°C}

Julio hit a baseball. What caused the ball to change direction at the time of impact?
WARRIOR [948]
The answer is c. the force of his swing

At the time of the impact, there is a collision between two bodies moving in opposite directions. 

The force exerted on the ball causes the change of velocity.

Bumek [7]
The current will decrease as the resistance has now increased, meaning less current will be 'let through' the resistor. (assuming it's in series, there's no image)

Describe why you weigh less on moon than on earth. Give examples
dmitriy555 [2]
Weight doesn't really mean much as it just means gravity the bigger a space object is the more force it has to pull on something since the moon is smaller than the earth then it has less gravity and then less weight on scales.

A 5.00 gram bullet moving at 600 m/s penetrates a tree trunk to a depth of 4.00 cm.
Crazy boy [7]
A) Work energy relation;
 Work =ΔKE ; work done = Force × distance, while, Kinetic energy = 1/2 MV²
 F.s = 1/2mv²
F× 4×10^-2 = 1/2 × 5 ×10^-3 × (600)²
 F = 900/0.04
    = 22500 N
Therefore, force is 22500 N

b) From newton's second law of motion;
 F = Ma
Thus; a = F/m
             = 22500/(5×10^-3)
             = 4,500,000 m/s²
But v = u-at
  0 = 600- 4500,000 t
t = 1.33 × 10^-4 seconds
