Explain what the wedge does with the downward force of the axe. Why is this useful to someone cutting wood?

Physics
1 answer:
lys-0071 [83]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The wedge balances propelled force.

Explanation:

According to the laws of motion, when appropriate weight is employed properly, a ball can move a truck. The same basic functions apply in this scenario. You often find a woodcutter raising the axe and letting it fall into the wood. This allows force to equally generate at both sides of the axe, splitting the wood apart.

Points A, B, and C lie along a line from left to right, respectively. Point B is at a lower electric potential than point A. Poi
djyliett [7]

Answer:

A) The particle will accelerate in the direction of point C.

Explanation:

As we know that

potential at points A, B,C and D as V_A, V_B, V_C, V_D  and it is clear from the question that

V_A>V_B>V_C

And we know that flow is always from higher to lower potential (for positive charge due to positive potential energy).

So the charge will accelerate from B toward C.

Hence, the correct option is A.

A closed, uninsulated system fitted with movable piston, so no matter is exchanged with the surroundings, was assembled. Introdu
xeze [42]

Answer: You do not specify what is being asked for. ∆E? ∆H?

∆E = (430 - 238) J = 192 J

∆H = 430 J

Explanation:

If asked for the value of ∆H the answer is simply the change in heat, and in the question, it states introduction of 430 J of heat is causing the system to expand.

Therefore ∆H = 430 J

If asked for ∆E, we know that ∆E = ±q (heat) + work (-P∆V) = ±q + w

The question states that 238 J of work are done AND the system expanded

(work is negative because expansion means work is done BY the system, releasing energy/heat... Conversely, if the system were compressed, work is done ON the system, absorbing heat/energy)

Therefore, ∆E = (430 - 238) J = 192 J

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface,pointing down, that averages 102 N/C. This field is maintained by various
Schach [20]

Answer:

q  =  -461532.5 \ C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  electric filed is  E  =  102 \ N/C  

Generally according to Gauss law

=>   E  A  =  \frac{q}{\epsilon_o }

Given that  the electric field is pointing downward  , the equation become

    - E  A  =  \frac{q}{\epsilon_o }

Here   q is the excess charge on the surface of the earth

          A is the surface  area of the of the earth which is mathematically represented as

     A  =  4\pi r^2

Where r is the radius of the earth which has a value r = 6.3781*10^6 m

 substituting values

    A  = 4 * 3.142  *   (6.3781*10^6 \ m)^2

    A  =5.1128 *10^{14} \ m^2

So

   q  =  -E  * A  *  \epsilon _o

Here \epsilon_o s the permitivity of free space with value

          \epsilon_o  =  8.85*10^{-12} \  m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot  s^4 \cdot A^2

substituting values

     q  =  -102  * 5.1128 *10^{14}  *  8.85 *10^{-12}

     q  =  -461532.5 \ C

A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra down a frictionless chute. It starts at a height of 1.69 m above the bottom of the chute with
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

x = 6.94 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can find the speed at the bottom of the ramp using energy conservation

Starting point. Higher

            Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g h

Final point. Lower

            Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

            Em₀ = Em_{f}

            ½ m v₀² + m g h = ½ m v²

            v² = v₀² + 2 g h

             

Let's calculate

             v = √(1.23² + 2 9.8 1.69)

             v = 5.89 m / s

In the horizontal part we can use the relationship between work and the variation of kinetic energy

            W = ΔK

            -fr x = 0- ½ m v²  

               

Newton's second law

              N- W = 0

     

The equation for the friction is

               fr = μ N

               fr = μ m g

We replace

             μ m g x = ½ m v²

             x = v² / 2μ g

Let's calculate

            x = 5.89² / (2 0.255 9.8)

            x = 6.94 m
