Explain how machines can be useful if the output is always less than the input work

Anni [7]

Because: Some of the work done by the machine is used to overcome the friction created by the use of the machine. ... Work output can never be greater than work input. Machines allow force to be applied over a greater distance, which means that less force will be needed for the same amount of work.

Consider the concepts of kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (GPE) as you complete these questions. A ball is

Lena [83]

Answer:

When the ball is held motionless above the floor, the ball possesses only GPE energy.If the ball is dropped, its GPE energy decreases as it falls.If the ball is dropped, its KE energy increases as it falls.

Explanation:

If the ball is held motionless, then its kinetic energy is equal to zero, since kinetic energy depends on the velocity. And the ball is held above the ground, which means it possesses gravitational potential energy.

If the ball is dropped, its height will decrease, therefore its gravitational potential energy will decrease. Along the way, the ball will be in free fall, and therefore its velocity will increase, hence its kinetic energy.

A pilot heads his jet due east. The jet has a speed of 475 mi/h relative to the air. The wind is blowing due north with a speed

oksian1 [2.3K]

Explanation:

a. The velocity of the wind as a vector in component form will be represented as v vector:

$v=30j$

b.The velocity of the jet relative to the air as a vector in component form will be represented as u vector

$u=475i$

c. The true velocity of the jet as a vector will be represented as w:

$w=u+v$

$w=475i+30j$

d. The true speed of the jet will be calculated as:

$IwI=\sqrt{(475)^2+(30)^2}$

$IwI=\sqrt{225625+900}$

$IwI=\sqrt{226525}$

$IwI=476 mi/h$

e. The direction of the jet will be:

$tita=tan^{-1}\frac{30}{475}$

$tita=tan^{-1}(0.0632)$

$tita=3.62degrees,or,N86.38degreesS$

A satellite in a nearly circular orbit is 2000 km above earth's surface. the radius of earth is approximately 6400 km. if the sa

Ann [662]

Velocity is computed using the formula:

$v= \frac{d}{t}$
Where:
V = speed
d = distance traveled
t = time/period

First you need to consider that the orbit is circular. To get the measurement or the distance going around Earth, you will need to get the circumference of the path.

$C = 2 \pi r$

Where:
C = circumference
π = 3.14
r = radius

The Earth has a radius of 6,400km, but you also need to consider that the satellite is orbiting above the surface of the Earth, so you add in the 2,000km to that radius.

r = 6,400Km + 2,000Km = 8,400Km

Next step is to insert that into our circumference formula:

$C = 2 \pi r$
$C = 2 \pi 8,400Km$
$C = 52,778.76 Km$

The distance traveled would then be 52,778.76Km

Now that we have the distance, we can then get the velocity:

$v= \frac{d}{t}$
$v= \frac{52,778.76Km}{12hrs}$
$v= 4,398.23km/hr$

The speed of the satellite is 4,398.23km/hr.

the 120-lb woman jogs up the flight of stairsThe 120-lb woman jogs up the flight of stairs in 5 seconds. Determine her average p

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Power = 24.41Watts

Explanation:

Find the diagram attached

Power output = Force * distance/Time

Given

Force = 120lb

Distance = 9inches

Time = 5sec

Since

1lb = 4.4482216153 N

120lb = 120 * 4.4482216153

120lb = 533.787N

9in to meters

9in = 0.0254*9

9in = 0.2286N

Power = 533.787*0.2286/5

Power = 24.41Watts
