When gasoline burns in a car engine, some of the chemical energy in the gasoline is converted into heat. The heat is converted into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy moves the car or vehicle.

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?

Lelu [443]

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.

Mercury has a density of 13.56 g/mL. How many kilograms of mercury would you expect to fit in a cylindrical glass cup with a bot

vovangra [49]

Answer:

263.152kg

Explanation:

The density of a substance is related to its mass and volume as follows;

density = mass / volume

mass = density x volume -------------(i)

The substance in question here is mercury which has;

density = 13.56g/mL = 13.56g/cm³

Since the mercury is going to be put in the cylindrical glass, the volume of the cylindrical glass is going to be equal to the volume of the mercury that will be put.

And we know that the;

volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Where;

π = 3.142

r = bottom radius of the cylinder = 5.75inches

h = height of the cylinder = 0.950ft

For uniformity, let's convert the radius and height of the cylinder to their corresponding values in cm

r = 5.75 inches = 5.75 x 2.54 cm = 14.605cm

h = 0.950 ft = 0.950 x 30.48 cm = 28.956cm

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder;

v = 3.142 x (14.605cm)² x 28.956cm = 19406.5cm³

v = 19406.5cm³ [This is also the volume of the mercury necessary to fit the cylinder]
