Answer:

We know that , mechanical advantage of lifting machine is

MA = W / P

For maximum mechanical advantage, we can substitute the value of P = mW + C

Calculate the force at sea level that a boy of mass 50 kg exerts on a chair in which he is sitting.
kogti [31]

As per the question the mass of the boy is 50 kg.

The boy sits on a chair.

We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.

The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.

At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Hence the weight of the boy w = mg  [m is the mass of the body]

we have m = 50 kg.

                             Hence w = 50 kg ×9.8 m/s^2

                                             =490 N kg m/s^2

                                              = 490 N

Here newton [N] is the unit of force.

At its closest point, Mercury is approximately 46 million kilometers from the sun. What is this distance in AU?
alina1380 [7]
1 astronomical unit 1 AU = 1.4960 * 10^11 meters
it is the average distance between earth and sun
mercury to sun distance is = 46,000,000 * 1000 meters
               = 4.6 * 10^9 meters = 4.6 * 10^9 / 1.4960 * 10^11  AU
               =  3.0.74 / 100  = 0.0374 AU

A woman and her dog are out for a morning run to the river, which is located 4.0 KM away. The woman runs at 2.5 M/S in a straigh
VLD [36.1K]

River shore is located at distance

d = 4 km

speed of the woman is given as

v_1 = 2.5 m/s

now the time taken by the woman to cover the distance is

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{4000}{2.5} = 1600 s

for the same time interval the dog will run to and fro with speed 4.5 m/s

so the total distance moved by the dog is given by

d = v* t

d = 4.5 * 1600

d = 7200 m

<em>so the total distance that dog will move is 7200 m or 7.2 km</em>

A 4.40-kilogram hoop starts from rest at a height 1.70 m above the base of an inclined plane and rolls down under the influence
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The linear velocity is  v=4.08m/s

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy

   The potential energy possessed by the  hoop at the top of the inclined plane is converted to the kinetic energy at the foot of the inclined plane

        The kinetic energy can be mathematically represented as

                    KE = \frac{mv^2}{2} + \frac{Iw}{2}

Where I is the moment of inertia possessed by the hoop  which is mathematically represented as

                 I = mr^2

Here R is the radius of the hoop

         w is the angular velocity which the hoop has at the bottom of the lower part of the inclined plane which is mathematically represented as

                          w = \frac{v}{r}

Where v linear speed of the hoop's center of mass just as the hoop leaves the incline and rolls onto a horizontal surface

      Now expressing the above statement mathematically

            potential \ energy = \frac{mv^2}{y} + \frac{Iw^2}{2}

               mgh = \frac{mv^2}{y} + \frac{Iw^2}{2}

=>            mgh =\frac{mv^2}{2} + \frac{(mr^2)(\frac{v}{r})^2 }{2}  

=>          mgh = \frac{mv^2}{2} + \frac{mv^2}{2}

=>           mgh = mv^2

=>              v = \sqrt{gh}

Substituting values

                v = \sqrt{9.81 * 1.7}

                  v=4.08m/s
