PLZ EXPLAIN THE EQUATION AND I WILL GIVE BRAINLIST You are out and about in the country and your father sees a rock that he real

ly wants in the yard. Now you must get the very heavy rock into the back of a truck. The truck bed is 3 feet off the ground. Your father pulls out a 5-foot plank and begins to set up a ramp. At the same time, you (who know about mechanical advantage!) have found a plank that is 8 feet long, and you show it to your father. Which plank will give you the most mechanical advantage? Calculate the MA for each plank

At Magic Mountain there is a ride in which people stand up against the inside wall of a large cylinder of radius 3 m. The cylind
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

0.1308

Explanation:

To keep the rider from sliding down, then the friction force F_f must at least be equal to gravity force F_p

F_f = F_p

\mu N = mg

where μ is the coefficient, N is the normal force acted by the rotating cylinder, m is the mass of a person and g = 9.81 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration.

According to Newton's 3rd and 2nd laws, the normal force would be equal to the centripetal force F_c, which is the product of centripetal acceleration a_c and object mass m

N = F_c = a_cm

Therefore

\mu a_cm = mg

\mu a_c = g

The centripetal acceleration is the ratio of velocity squared and the radius of rotation

a_c = v^2/r = 15^2 / 3 = 75 m/s^2

Therefore

\mu = g/a_c = 9.81 / 75 = 0.1308

Sati [7]
On the moon, the gravitational acceleration is 1/6 of 9.8 m/s², so
g = 9.8/6 = 1.633 m/s²

Launch speed = 35 m/s
Launch angle = 27°  above the horizontal.
Therefore,
The horizontal velocity is
u = 35*cos(27) = 31.1852 m/s
The vertical launch velocity is
v = 35*sin(27) = 15.8897 m/s

Part A
When the ball reaches maximum height, the time requires is given by
0 = v - gt
t = v/g = 15.8897/1.6333 = 9.7286 s
This is one half of the time of flight, which is
2*9.7286 = 19.457 s

Answer: 19.46 s (2 sig. figs)

The upward force acting on the wing of an airplane ir flight is called?​
Elza [17]

Answer:

Lift is the upward force on the wing acting perpendicular to the relative wind and perpendicular to the aircraft's lateral axis. Lift is required to counteract the aircraft's weight.

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n = 3.50
sasho [114]

Answer:

d = 6.43 cm

Explanation:

Given:

- Speed resistance coefficient in silicon n = 3.50

- Memory takes processing time t_p = 0.50 ns

- Information is to be obtained within T = 2.0 ns

Find:

- What is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

Solution:

- The amount of time taken for information pulse to travel to memory unit:

                            t_m = T - t_p

                            t_m = 2.0 - 0.5 = 1.5 ns

- We will use a basic relationship for distance traveled with respect to speed of light and time:

                           d = V*t_m

- Where speed of light in silicon medium is given by:

                           V = c / n

- Hence,              d = c*t_m / n

-Evaluate:           d = 3*10^8*1.5*10^-9 / 3.50

                           d = 0.129 m 12.9 cm

- The above is the distance for pulse going to and fro the memory and central unit. So the distance between the two is actually d / 2 = 6.43 cm
