Answer:

VR = $\frac{Radius of wheel}{Radius of axle}$

Explanation:

A machine is a device that can be used to overcome a load by the application of an effort through a pivot. Examples are: pulleys, wedge, screw jack, wheel and axle etc.

The wheel and axle is a simple device that can be used to lift a load through a height. Its velocity ratio (VR) can be determined by:

VR = $\frac{Radius of wheel}{Radius of axle}$

Note that for a practical wheel and axle, the radius of the wheel is greater than the radius of the axle.

What is the momentum of a bus that weighs 13,500,000 grams traveling at 65 mph?

Goryan [66]

The momentum of the bus is $3.93\cdot 10^5 kg m/s$

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the bus in this problem, we have

$m=13,500,000 g = 13,500 kg$ is its mass

$v=65 mph \cdot \frac{1609 m/mi}{3600 s/h}=29.1 m/s$ is the velocity, converted into SI units

Substituting into the equation, we find the momentum of the bus:

$p=(13,500)(29.1)=3.93\cdot 10^5 kg m/s$

Why might we expect venus and earth to be similar?

mina [271]

They have similar distances from the sun therefore receive similar amounts of solar energy but Venus has no atmosphere to protect it so greater variation in temp.
Both are rock planets unlike those further away from the sun which, because of their distance receive less solor energy are cold, are ice planets
