Answer:

IMA = 2.5 metres

EFFICIENCY = 80%

Explanation:

The AMA of a machine is referred to as the Actual Mechanical Advantage of a machine, calculated as the ratio of the output to the input force.

The Ideal Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the input distance to the output distance.

From the diagram, the input distance which is also the distance moved by effort = 5metres

The load distance (output distance) = 2 metres

IMA = INPUT DISTANCE / OUTPUT DISTANCE

IMA = 5metres / 2 metres = 2.5 meters

Efficiency is the ratio of AMA TO IMA

AMA = 2, IMA = 2.5

EFFICIENCY = AMA / IMA

EFFICIENCY = (2 / 2.5) × 100%= 0.8 × 100%

EFFICIENCY = 80%

I think the best answer would be the last option. The main purpose of a service panel in a house is to keep electrical hazards localized. Service panels are used to identify circuit loads and isolate these loads so when you want to check the equipment you can easily identify the line. Also, it would serve as the isolation point to avoid any electrical hazards.

An object of mass m travels along the parabola yequalsx squared with a constant speed of 5 units/sec. What is the force on the

Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

The object is moving along the parabola y = x² and is at the point (√2, 2). Because the object is changing directions, it has a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle of curvature.

First, we need to find the radius of curvature. This is given by the equation:

R = [1 + (y')²]^(³/₂) / |y"|

y' = 2x and y" = 2:

R = [1 + (2x)²]^(³/₂) / |2|

R = (1 + 4x²)^(³/₂) / 2

At x = √2:

R = (1 + 4(√2)²)^(³/₂) / 2

R = (9)^(³/₂) / 2

R = 27 / 2

R = 13.5

So the centripetal force is:

F = m v² / r

F = m (5)² / 13.5

F = 1.85 m

How to find wavelength

Andrews [41]

If the wavelength is given, the energy can be determined by first using the wave equation (c = λ × ν) to find the frequency, then using Planck's equation to calculate energy. Use the equations above to answer the following questions. 1. Ultraviolet radiation has a frequency of 6.8 × 1015 1/s.

A basketball leaves a player's hands at a height of 2.00 m above the floor. The basket is 3.05 m above the floor. The player lik

shutvik [7]

Answer:(10.69, 11.436)

Explanation:

Given

initial height of ball is 2 m

height of basket is 3.05 m

Launching angle $=40^{\circ}$

$x =12\pm 0.27$

y=1.05

equation of trajectory of ball is given by

$y=xtan\theta -\frac{gx^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta }$

for x=12.27

$1.05=12.27\times tan40-\frac{g12.27^2}{2u^2cos^{2}40 }$

u=10.69

for x=11.73

$1.05=11.73\times tan40-\frac{g11.73^2}{2u^2cos^{2}40 }$

u=11.436 m/s

Thus range of speed is (10.69, 11.436)

What homemade things could I use for wheels on a small balloon powered car?

Fantom [35]

You can use mostly anything as long as it is circular. Depending on how big it is, you could use sturdy paper plates and use a stick/rod and tape to hold it together, or you could use bottle caps if the car you are trying to make is really small.
