Does this helps

Answer:

The number of input force is the same as output. Formula for MA (Mechanical Advantage) is Input Force/Output Force. If it equals once, then both numbers are equal making it the same. In order to raise MA, you must lower efficiency, something you learn around grade 8. Good luck!

P.S. Direction is the same for both, meaning if you pull something, the object you pull will come towards you.

A car moving with an initial speed of 25 m/s slows down to a speed of 5 m/s in 10 seconds Calculate a) the acceleration of the c

stealth61 [152]

Answer :

(a) The acceleration of the car is, $-2m/s^2$

(b) The distance covered by the car is, 150 m

Explanation :

By the 1st equation of motion,

$v=u+at$ ...........(1)

where,

v = final velocity = 5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration of the car = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation 1, we get:

$5m/s=25m/s+a\times (10s)$

$a=-2m/s^2$

The acceleration of the car is, $-2m/s^2$

By the 2nd equation of motion,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ ...........(2)

where,

s = distance covered by the car = ?

u = initial velocity = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration of the car = $-2m/s^2$

Now put all the given values in the above equation 2, we get:

$s=(25m/s)\times (10s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-2m/s^2)\times (10s)^2$

By solving the term, we get:

$s=150m$

The distance covered by the car is, 150 m

A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g

Liula [17]

The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is
D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
   Distance = (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected
if ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.                                                      D = (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by 2 :         2 D =            g    t²

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t²

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)

Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:

-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'

   and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .--

They don't change by the same factor, because 1/g is inside the square root. So 't' changes the same amount as √1/g does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly 1/6 the value of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by √6 = 2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the surface of the Moon.

What is the photosynthes?

Westkost [7]

<em>It is the process in which green plants make their food through a green pigment known as Chlorophyll by using sunlight, Carbon-dioxide and water</em>. <em>The result comes out with the formation of Oxygen as a byproduct. But in night they also respire like animals and photosynthesis does not occur. Photo means light and synthesis means manufacture.</em>
