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.

A motorcycle is traveling east at a rate of 56mph.it take 6.7 s for it to decrease its speed to 35mph. How far does the motorcyc
Phantasy [73]
Initial speed = 56mph
Final speed = 35mph

Time taken = 6.7seconds...

Converting the time to hour.. Divide by 3600..
= 6.7/3600

=0.00186hour..

Acceleration = v-u/t

a = 35-56/0.00186
a = -11283.6mph²

The negative sign shows that it decelerated...

V² = u²+2as

(35)² = (56)² + 2×-11283.6×s
Where s is the distance covered within that time...

1225 = 3136 - 22567.2s

22567.2s = 3136-1225

22567.2s = 1911

S = 1911/22567.2

S = 0.08468miles...

But at the end of the question we were made to understand that 1miles = 5280ft

Therefore 0.08468miles = (0.08468×5280)ft

= 447. 11feets...

Which is approximately 447ft.....


Hope this helped.... ?

What condition is required for cloud formation in the atmosphere?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: To form a cloud, the air that rises must cool to the point where some of the water vapor molecules "clump together" at a faster pace than they are pulled apart by their thermal energy. These molecules then condense to form the clouds and water droplets.
