How is velocity ratio of wheel and axle calculatedaad
1 answer:
Answer:
VR =
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 =
Note that for a practical wheel and axle, the radius of the wheel is greater than the radius of the axle.

Answer:
Vf = 3.67 [m/s]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.
where:
Vf = final velocity [m/s]
Vi = initial velocity = 4.3 [m/s]
a = acceleration or desacceleration = 0.5 [m/s²]
x = distance = 5 [m]
Note: The negative sign in the above equation means that the velocity of the ball is decreasing (desacceleration).
Now replacing:
Vf² = (4.3)² - (2*0.5*5)
Vf² = 18.49 - 5
Vf² = 13.49
using the square root, we have.
Vf = 3.67 [m/s]
