Displacement = final - initial
The formula most closely resembling that is delta = xf - xi

D = xf - xi , so it would be the first choice.

8. An effort force of 15 Newtons is applied to an ideal pulley system to lift up a 16 Newton object. If the effort force is exer

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.

Explanation:

Given;

applied effort, E = 15 N

load lifted by the ideal pulley system, L = 16 N

distance moved by the effort, d₁ = 6 m

let the distance moved by the object = d₂

For an ideal machine, the mechanical advantage is equal to the velocity ratio of the machine.

M.A = V.R

$M.A = \frac{Load}{Effort} = \frac{L}{E} \\\\V.R = \frac{disatnce \ moved \ by \ the \ effort}{disatnce \ moved \ by \ the \ load} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\For \ ideal \ machine; \ M.A = V.R\\\\\frac{L}{E} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\d_2 = \frac{E \times d_1}{L} \\\\d_2 = \frac{15 \times 6}{16} \\\\d_2 = 5.625 \ m$

Therefore, the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.

A plane drops a hamper of medical supplies from a height of 5000 m during a practice run over the ocean. The plane’s horizontal

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

346.70015 m/s

Explanation:

In the x axis speed is

$v_x=149\ m/s$

In the y axis

$v_y=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v_y=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 5000}$

The resultant velocity is given by

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{149^2+2\times 9.8\times 5000}\\\Rightarrow v=346.70015\ m/s$

The magnitude of the overall velocity of the hamper at the instant it strikes the surface of the ocean is 346.70015 m/s

Define resistance and describe what would happen to a light bulb if the voltage increased but the resistance stayed the same. (h

PtichkaEL [24]

The light bulb would glow brighter.

<h3>What is Resistance?</h3>

a force that works against a body's direction of motion and seeks to stop or slow down motion, such as friction. a measure of how much a material prevents an electric current from flowing as a result of a voltage.

What is the law of resistance?

Resistance and Ohm's Law. According to Ohm's law, the resistance of the circuit and the current or energy travelling through the resistance are both exactly proportional to the voltage or potential difference between two places.

The current would grow since it is exactly proportionate to the voltage, increasing the light bulb's brilliance, or simply making it brighter.

Two bodies fall freely from different heights and reach the ground simultaneously. The time of descent for the first body is 1s

jok3333 [9.3K]

The initial height of the first body is given by:
$h_1 = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$
where
g is the gravitational acceleration
t is the time it takes for the body to reach the ground
Substituting t=1 s, we find
$h_1 = \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(1 s)^2=4.9 m$

The second body takes takes t=2 s to reach the ground, so it was located at an initial height of
$h_2 = \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2 s)^2=19.6 m$

The second body started its fall 1 second before the first body, therefore when the second body started its fall, the first body was located at its initial height, i.e. at 4.9 m from the ground.
