A pulley system with a mechanical advantage of 15 is used to lift a 1750 N piano to a third floor balcony that is 7 m above the

ground. What applied force must the movers use? How much rope will the movers pull in?

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

When a parachutist jumps from an airplane, he eventually reaches a constant speed, called the terminal speed. Once he has reache
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

b) True.    the force of air drag on him is equal to his weight.

Explanation:

Let us propose the solution of the problem in order to analyze the given statements.

The problem must be solved with Newton's second law.

When he jumps off the plane

     fr - w = ma

Where the friction force has some form of type.

     fr = G v + H v²

Let's replace

     (G v + H v²) - mg = m dv / dt

We can see that the friction force increases as the speed increases

At the equilibrium point

      fr - w = 0

      fr = mg

      (G v + H v2) = mg

For low speeds the quadratic depended is not important, so we can reduce the equation to

     G v = mg

     v = mg / G

This is the terminal speed.

Now let's analyze the claims

a) False is g between the friction force constant

b) True.

c) False. It is equal to the weight

d) False. In the terminal speed the acceleration is zero

e) False. The friction force is equal to the weight

A drowsy cat spots a flowerpot that sails first up and then down past an open window. the pot was in view for a total of 0.49 s,
Alika [10]

For this case, let's assume that the pot spends exactly half of its time going up, and half going down, i.e. it is visible upward for 0.245 s and downward for 0.245 s. Let us take the bottom of the window to be zero on a vertical axis pointing upward. All calculations will be made in reference to this coordinate system. <span>

An initial condition has been supplied by the problem: 

s=1.80m when t=0.245s 

<span>This means that it takes the pot 0.245 seconds to travel upward 1.8m. Knowing that the gravitational acceleration acts downward constantly at 9.81m/s^2, and based on this information we can use the formula:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) 

to solve for v, the initial velocity of the pot as it enters the cat's view through the window. Substituting and solving (note that gravitational acceleration is negative since this is opposite our coordinate orientation): 

(1.8m)=(v)(0.245s)+(1/2)(-9.81m/s^2)(0.245s)^2 

v=8.549m/s 

<span>Now we know the initial velocity of the pot right when it enters the view of the window. We know that at the apex of its flight, the pot's velocity will be v=0, and using this piece of information we can use the kinematic equation:

(v final)=(v initial)+(a)(t) 

to solve for the time it will take for the pot to reach the apex of its flight. Because (v final)=0, this equation will look like 

0=(v)+(a)(t) 

Substituting and solving for t: 

0=(8.549m/s)+(-9.81m/s^2)(t) 

t=0.8714s 

<span>Using this information and the kinematic equation we can find the total height of the pot’s flight:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) </span></span></span></span>

s=8.549m/s (0.8714s)-0.5(9.81m/s^2)(0.8714s)^2

s=3.725m<span>

This distance is measured from the bottom of the window, and so we will need to subtract 1.80m from it to find the distance from the top of the window: 

3.725m – 1.8m=1.925m</span>

 

Answer:

<span>1.925m</span>

What caused magnetic fields? What happens If you keep breaking a magnet in two until you reach a single atom?
mote1985 [20]

magnetic materials will produce magnetic field near it

All magnets are made up of small magnet type atoms which are known as domains

These all atoms will align itself so that they all produce strong magnetic field along the axis

this magnetic field will become more strong as more number of atoms are aligned.

Now if we break the magnet into small piece then the magnetic field strength will start decreasing and at the end when only one atom will remain then the magnetic field strength will reduce to the field of one atom only.

Displacement vectors of 4 km north, 2km south, 5 km north, and 5km south combine to a total displacement of A 2 km south B 16 km
Phantasy [73]
The north vectors add up as so the south vectors.  Then subtract the two.  For north its 4 + 5 = 9.  South is 2 + 5 = 7.   Then 9-7 = 2km North (D)
