Answer:

The  force is E = 117 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  mechanical advantage is  ME =  15

     The load is L  =  1750 \  N

      The  height is  h  =  7  \  m

Generally mechanical advantage is mathematically represented as

       ME =  \frac{L }{E }

Here E is the force that must be applied to move the piano

=>     E =  \frac{L}{ ME }

=>     E =  \frac{1750 }{15  }

=>     E = 117 \  N

A visitor to a lighthouse wishes to determine the height of the tower. She ties a spool of thread to a small rock to make a simp
masha68 [24]

To solve this problem we must rely on the equations of the simple harmonic movement that define the period as a function of length and gravity as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

Where

l = Length

g = Gravity

Re-arrange to find L,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

Our values are given as

g = 9.81m/s

T = 10.1s

Replacing,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

L = (9.81) (\frac{10.1}{2\pi})^2

L = 25.348m

Therefore the height would be 25.348m

Question 1 (1 point)
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The work done by the frictional force is 600J.

Explanation:

The work W done by the frictional force is

W= Fd.

Now, F = 60N and d =10m; therefore,

W= (60N)(10m)

\boxed{W = 600J.}

Hence, the work done by friction is 660J.

An experiment is carried out to measure the extension of a rubber band for different loads.
PtichkaEL [24]

Complete question is;

An experiment is carried out to measure the extension of a rubber band for different loads.

The results are shown in the image attached.

What figure is missing from the table?

Answer:

17.3 cm

Explanation:

The image attached showed values for load, extension and initial length.

Now, the first length there is 15.2 cm and as such it's corresponding extension is 0 because it has no preceding measured length.

The second measured length is 16.2 cm. Since it's initial measured length is 15.2 cm, then the extension has a formula; final length - initial length.

This gives: 16.2 - 15.2 = 1 cm

This corresponds to what is given in the table.

For the next measured length, it is blank but we are given the extension to be 2.1 cm. Now, since the initial measured length is 15.2 cm.

Thus;

2.1 cm = Final length - 15.2 cm

Final length = 15.2 + 2.1

Final length = 17.3 cm

A rock has a specific gravity of 2.32 and a volume of 8.64 in3 how much does it weigh
lianna [129]

Answer: 3.21 N

Specific\hspace{1mm} gravity = \frac {Density\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}substance}{Density\hspace{1mm} of \hspace{1mm}water}

\Rightarrow Density \hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}substance= 2.32\times 1000\hspace{1mm} kg/m^3 = 2320\hspace{1mm}kg/m^3\\ Mass =Density\times volume\\ \Rightarrow 2320 \hspace{1mm} kg/m^3\times 8.64 \hspace{1mm}in^3\times \frac {1.64\times10^{-5} m^3}{1\hspace{1mm}in^3}=0.328 kg

For weight, we will multiply by g=9.8 m/s^{-2}

weight= 0.328\times9.8=3.21\hspace{1mm}N

Hence, the rock would weigh 3.21 N.

The brakes of a 125 kg sled are applied while it is moving at 8.1 m/s, which exerts a force of 261 N to slow the sled down. How
sammy [17]

Answer:

15.7 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the sled = 125 kg

v₀ = initial speed of the sled = 8.1 m/s

v = final speed of sled = 0 m/s

F = force applied by the brakes in opposite direction of motion = 261

d = stopping distance for the sled

Using work-change in kinetic energy theorem

- F d = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

- (261) d = (0.5) (125) (0² - 8.1²)

d = 15.7 m
