Which of the following is a compound machine?

2 answers:

8 0

A compound machine uses more than one simple machine to work. The six classic examples of simple machines are: Lever, wheel/axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, and a screw.
A ramp is an inclined plane. Therefore, the answer is D. a pair of scissors

Option (d) is correct. A pair of scissors is a compound machine.

Further Explanation:

A machine is a device that is used to reduce the human effort and obtain much more output as compared to the input given. A simple lever that is used to lift a load is also a machine as it reduces the human effort.

A simple machine is a machine that has only one machine. For example, a ramp is an inclined plane that helps to cover a height easily. A lever is also a simple machine that is used to multiply the effort to pick up the heavier loads.

A ramp, a wheel and axle and a pulley all are the simple machines. They have only one simple machine in them whereas a pair of scissors is not a simple machine as it has more than one machine in it.

Thus, Option (d) is correct. A pair of scissors is a compound machine.

A jet is travelling at a speed of 1200 km/h and drops cargo from a height of 2.5 km above the ground Calculate the time it takes

OLEGan [10]

a) Time of flight: 22.6 s

To calculate the time it takes for the cargo to reach the ground, we just consider the vertical motion of the cargo.

The vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t) = h +u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 2.5 km = 2500 m is the initial height

$u_y = 0$ is the initial vertical velocity of the cargo

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The cargo reaches the ground when

$y(t) = 0$

So substituting it into the equation and solving for t, we find the time of flight of the cargo:

$0 = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2500)}{9.8}}=22.6 s$

b) 7.5 km

The range travelled by the cargo can be calculated by considering its horizontal motion only. In fact, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant velocity equal to the initial velocity of the jet:

$v_x = 1200 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=333.3 m/s$

So the horizontal distance travelled is

$d=v_x t$

And if we substitute the time of flight,

t = 22.6 s

We find the range of the cargo:

$d=(333.3)(22.6)=7533 m = 7.5 km$

Which is a correct statement of what occurs at a turbine during electricity production?

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The turbine is rotated and rotates the generator to produce electricity.

Explanation:

Within a turbine enters the superheated steam which is at high pressure and high temperature, this steam is previously formed in the boiler when the steam enters the turbine hits each one of the blades of the turbine making it rotate at a given speed, the turbine shaft is coupled to the shaft of an electric generator and thus generates electricity.

It is also important to say that when the steam comes out of the turbine comes out at low pressure, this way the internal operating process is carried out within the turbine.

If a road does not have a bicycle lane, where must a bicyclist ride their bicycle?

DIA [1.3K]

A bicyclist can ride their bicycle still on the road. Bicycle riders be able to take the public ways which has the similar rights and accountability as motorists and are subject to the same guidelines and protocols. The law says that individuals who ride bikes should ride as nearby to the right side of the road as likely excluding under the following conditions: when passing, preparing for a left go, evading risks, if the lane is too constricted to share, or if oncoming a place where a right turn is approved. In a road which has a bike lane the bicyclists roving slower than road traffic must custom the bike way excluding when creating a left turn, passing, evading hazardous settings, or impending a place where a right turn is approved.
