Answer:

the pulley system is very efficient

Explanation:

Given;

load, L  = 250 N

distance moved by the load, a = 4.5 m

distance moved by the effort, e = 2.5 m

let the force or effort applied = F

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

F x e = L x a

F = (L x a) / e

F = (250 x 4.5) / 2.5

F = 450 N

The efficient of the pulley system;

E = Output force / Input force

E = (450 x 2.5) / (250 x 4.5)

E = 1 = 100%

Therefore, the pulley system is very efficient

12. A volcano erupts on Earth's surface causing a piece of rock with a mass of 95 kg to be ejected from rest to an acceleration
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The force exerted on the rock by the eruption is, D. 902.5 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the rock ejected by the volcano, m = 95 kg

The acceleration of the ejected rock, a 9.5 m/s²

The force acting on an object is defined as the product of the mass and its acceleration. It is given by the relation,

                                 F = m x a

                                    = 95 x 9.5

                                    = 902.5 N

Hence, the force exerted on the rock by the eruption is, F = 902.5 N

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Answer:

It has sunlight, oxygen, water, and fertile soil.

Explanation:

Sunlight: provides plants (producers) with energy so that the ecosystem is sustainable. Also provides heat and warmth so the planet does not freeze.  

Oxygen: obvious. required for human survival and survival of most carbon-based organisms.

Water: required for plant growth and sustainability of carbon-based life.

Fertile soil: a place where plants can grow and produce energy.

I will not write an entire description because your teacher may accuse you of plagiarism and use this topic as proof.

Two resistors have resistances R(smaller) and R(larger), where R(smaller) < R(larger). When the resistors are connected in se
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

R = 9.85 ohm , r = 0.85 ohm

Explanation:

Let the two resistances by r and R.

when they are connected in series:

V = 12 V

i = 1.12 A

The equivalent resistance when they are connected in series is

Rs = r + R

So, By using Ohm's law

V = i Rs

Rs = V / i = 12 / 1.12 = 10.7 ohm

R + r = 10.7 ohm    .... (1)

When they are connected in parallel:

V = 12 V

i = 9.39 A

The equivalent resistance when they are connected in parallel

R_{p}=\frac{R+r}{rR}

So, By using Ohm's law

V = i Rp

Rp = V / i = 12 / 9.39 = 1.28 ohm

\frac{R+r}{rR}=1.28    .... (2)

by substituting the value of R + r from equation (1) in equation (2), we get

r R = 8.36 ..... (3)

R-r = \sqrt{\left ( R+r \right )^{2}-4rR}

R-r = \sqrt{\left ( 10.7 \right )^{2}-4\times 8.36}=9 ..... (4)

By solvng equation (1) and (4), we get

R = 9.85 ohm , r = 0.85 ohm
