Answer:

c. 80%

Explanation:

Given;

load raised by the machine, L = 360 N

distance through which the load was raised, d = 0.2 m

effort applied, E = 50 N

distance moved by the effort, e = 1.8 m

The efficiency of the machine is calculated as follows;

Efficiency = \frac{ 0utput \ work }{1nput \ work} \times 100\% \\\\Efficiency = \frac{Load \ \times \ distance \ moved \ by \ load }{Efort \ \times \ distance \ moved \ by \ effort} \times 100\%\\\\Efficiency = \frac{360 \times 0.2}{50 \times 1.8} \times 100\%\\\\Efficiency =80\%

Therefore, the efficiency of the machine is 80%

A. A child is twirling a 1.52 kg object in a vertical circle with a radius of 67.6
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

(a) 4.21 m/s

(b) 24.9 N

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the object when it is at the bottom of the circle.  There are two forces on the object: tension force T pulling up and weight force mg pulling down.

Sum the forces in the radial (+y) direction:

∑F = ma

T − mg = m v² / r

v = √(r (T − mg) / m)

v = √(0.676 m (54.7 N − 1.52 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / 1.52 kg)

v = 4.21 m/s

(b) Draw a free body diagram of the object when it is at the top of the circle.  There are two forces on the object: tension force T pulling down and weight force mg pulling down.

Sum the forces in the radial (-y) direction:

∑F = ma

T + mg = m v² / r

T = m v² / r − mg

T = (1.52 kg) (4.21 m/s)² / (0.676 m) −  (1.52 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

T = 24.9 N

Which event is an example of condensation?
ale4655 [162]

Answer: D

If the fog disappears when the Sun comes out, then this is an example of condensation because:

the Sun actually dries up the fog, and it makes it into higher clouds.

Hope this helps you!

A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.
olasank [31]

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N

Discuss why Wolpert says we have a brain.
ycow [4]

Answer:

“We have a brain for one reason and one reason only, and that's to produce adaptable and complex movements,” stated Wolpert, Director of the Computational and Biological Learning Lab at the University of Cambridge. ... The evidence for this is in how well we've learned to mimic our movements using computers and robots.
