How does a wheel and axle make work easier?

Physics
1 answer:
maw [93]3 years ago
8 0

The wheel and axle is a simple machine that reduces the friction involved in moving an object, making the object easier to transport. ... Once the object is moving, the force of friction opposes the force exerted on the object. The wheel and axle makes this easier by reducing the friction involved in moving an object.

In addition to reducing friction, a wheel and axle can also serve as a force multiplier, according to Science Quest from Wiley. If a wheel is attached to an axle, and a force is used to turn the wheel, the rotational force, or torque, on the axle is much greater than the force applied to the rim of the wheel.

This is best explained through the use of an optics diagram, this is a little too complicated to explain in a short answer, and as I can't draw an appropriate diagram in this answer, I will point you to this excellent resource which explains what you have asked very well!

A golf ball is hit so that it leaves the club face at a velocity of 45m/s at an angle of 40° to the horizontal. by ignoring the
tatuchka [14]

Answer:a)45cos40 b)45sin40 c) 2.95 d)102

Explanation:

a) v_{x} = 45 cos40

b) v_{y}=45sin40

c) Since air resistance is negligible, the only force acting on the golf ball is gravity. Thus, its vertical acceleration is -<em>g</em>. We know the final velocity must be 0 m/s, because this will be when the golf ball reaches the maximum height and starts to change direction (it falls back to the ground). We also know initial velocity in the vertical direction (see part b). Thus, we can use this equation: v_{f} = v_{i} + at.

0 m/s = 45sin40 + (-9.8m/s^2)t\\t = 2.95s

d) The horizontal distance traveled is dependent on (1) how long the ball is in the air and (2) what the horizontal velocity is. (1) was found in part c, and (2) was found in part a.

x=vt\\x=45cos40(2.95) =102m

The airplane is flying with a constant velocity. Which force acting on the airplane below represents the friction from air resis
tankabanditka [31]

The correct answer to the question is  C i.e C represents the friction from air resistance.

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand friction.

The friction is the opposing force which acts tangentially between two bodies in contact when there is a relative motion between them.

The air resistance is that frictional force which is provided by the air to the moving body through it. Hence, the friction from air resistance will be directed opposite to the motion of the body.

In the given diagram, the airplane is going horizontally. The force A acts in forward direction while force C acts in backward direction. The forces B and D are acting vertically.  There is no motion in vertical direction. Hence, the net force of A and C will cause the airplane to move.

As the plane is moving along the direction of A, the frictional force must act along the direction of C.
