Answer:

<em>Efficiency of a machine is 90% this means that the total energy produced to the machine only 90% is useful and given as a output.</em>

<em>Machines are not 100% efficient because some of the work done by a machine is used to overcome friction</em>

Novay_Z [31]3 years ago

Explanation:

A simple machine has efficiency 90% means that 10% of the applied effort is wasted due to overcoming friction and 90% of the applied force is used in doing useful work .No machinr has hundred percent efficiency because every machine is affected by overcoming friction .

What amount of force is needed to propel and object of 27 kg to an acceleration of 11,550 m/s^2? (1 point)
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

311,850 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

F is the net force applied on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

For the object in this problem,

m = 27 kg

a=11550 m/s^2

Substituting, we find the force required:

F=(27)(11550)=311,850 N

A 79 kg person sits on a 3.7 kg chair. Each leg of the chair makes contact with the floor in a circle that is 1.3 cm in diameter
vampirchik [111]
I'll assume that the chair has four legs.

Since the chair weights 3.7 kg by itself, it will weigh (79+3.7)=82.7 kg with the person sitting on it. And each of the chair's legs will take about (82.7/4)=20.675 kg.

Each leg touches the floor in a circle with 1.3cm diameter. The area of that circle is about (3.14*(1.3/2)^2)=1.327 cm^2.

Pressure is measured by force per area. So, the pressure from each leg is about 20.675kg / 1.327cm^2. That simplifies to 15.58 kg/cm^2.

An object is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 10 m/s, and there is an air resistance force causing an acceleration
lana [24]

Answer:

Vf= 7.29 m/s

Explanation:

Two force act on the object:

1) Gravity

2) Air resistance

Upward motion:

Initial velocity = Vi= 10 m/s

Final velocity = Vf= 0 m/s

Gravity acting downward =  g = -9.8 m/s²

Air resistance acting downward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²

Net acceleration = a = -(g + a₁ ) = - ( 9.8 + 3 ) = - 12.8 m/s²

( Acceleration is consider negative if it is in opposite direction of velocity )

Now

2as = Vf² - Vi²

⇒ 2 * (-12.8) *s = 0 - 10²

⇒-25.6 *s = -100

⇒ s = 100/ 25.6

⇒ s = 3.9 m

Downward motion:

Vi= 0 m/s

s = 3.9 m

Gravity acting downward =  g = 9.8 m/s²

Air resistance acting upward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²

Net acceleration = a = g - a₁  =  9.8 - 3  = 6.8 m/s²

Now

2as = Vf² - Vi²

⇒ 2 * 6.8 * 3.9 = Vf² - 0

⇒ Vf² = 53. 125

⇒ Vf= 7.29 m/s

A projectile of mass 1.800 kg approaches a stationary target body at 4.800 m/s. The projectile is deflected through an angle of
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the projectile = 1.8 Kg

speed of the target = 4.8 m/s

angle of deflection = 60°

Speed after collision = 2.9 m/s

magnitude of momentum after collision = ?

initial momentum of the body = m x v

                                                  = 1.8 x 4.8 = 8.64 kg.m/s

final momentum after collision

momentum along x-direction

P_x = m v cos θ

P_x = 1.8 x 2.9 x  cos 60°

P_x = 2.61 kg.m/s

momentum along y-direction

P_y = m v sin θ

P_y = 1.8 x 2.9 x  sin 60°

P_y = 4.52 kg.m/s

net momentum of the body

P = \sqrt{P_x^2 + P_y^2}

P = \sqrt{4.52^2 + 2.61^2}

 P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

momentum magnitude after collision is equal to P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 90.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The mass of the ice block is equal to 70.15 kg

Explanation:

The data for this exercise are as follows:

F=90 N

insignificant friction force

x=13 m

t=4.5 s

m=?

applying the equation of rectilinear motion we have:

x = xo + vot + at^2/2

where xo = initial distance =0

vo=initial velocity = 0

a is the acceleration

therefore the equation is:

x = at^2/2

Clearing a:

a=2x/t^2=(2x13)/(4.5^2)=1.283 m/s^2

we use Newton's second law to calculate the mass of the ice block:

F=ma

m=F/a = 90/1.283=70.15 kg
