A wheel is used to turn a valve stem on a water valve. How much is the mechanical advantage when an effort of 80 lbs. is applied

to the wheel of the water valve to overcome a force of 320 lbs.?

Answer:

4

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Effort (E) = 80 lbs

Load (L) = 320 lbs

Mechanical advantage (MA) =?

Mechanical advantage is simply defined as the ratio of load to effort. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Mechanical advantage = Load / Effort

MA = L / E

With the above formula, we can obtain the mechanical advantage as illustrated below:

Effort (E) = 80 lbs

Load (L) = 320 lbs

Mechanical advantage (MA) =?

MA = L / E

MA = 320 / 80

MA = 4

Thus, the mechanical advantage is 4

in a car moving at constant acceleration, you travel 230 mm between the instants at which the speedometer reads 40 km/hkm/h and
Ronch [10]

The acceleration of the car is 0.8049m/s^{2}.It takes 13.802s to travel the 230 m.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

In mechanics, acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time varies. Acceleration is a vector quantity (in that they have magnitude and direction). The direction of an object's acceleration is determined by the direction of the net force acting on it. Newton's Second Law states that the combined effect of two factors determines how much an item accelerates: 

(i) It follows that  the magnitude of the net balance of all external forces acting on the object is directly proportional to the magnitude of this net resulting force, and

(ii) the mass of the thing, depending on the materials out of which it is constructed, is inversely proportional to the mass of the thing.

Calculations:

40 km/hr ----- 11.11m/s

80 km/hr ----- 22.22m/s

v^{2} -u^{2} =2as\\22.22^{2} - 11.11^{2} = 2 x a x 230\\ 370.296=460a\\ a= 0.8049m/s^{2} \\

Time taken

v-u=at

22.22-11.11= 0.8049 x t

t=13.802s

A commercial aircraft is flying westbound east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. The pilot observes billow clouds ne
Andreyy89

Answer:

<em>Billow clouds provide a visible signal to aviation interests of potentially dangerous turbulent sky since they indicate instability in air currents.</em>

Explanation:

Billow clouds are created in regions that are not stable in a meteorological sense. They are frequently present in places with air flows, and have marked vertical shear and weak thermal separation and inversion (colder air stays on top of warmer air). Billow clouds are formed when two air currents of varying speeds meet in the atmosphere. They create a stunning sight that looks like rolling ocean waves. Billow clouds have a very short life span of minutes but they provide a visible signal to aviation interests of potentially dangerous turbulent sky since they indicate instability in air currents, which although may not affect us on the ground but is a concern to aircraft pilots. The turbulence due to the Billow wave is the only logical explanation for the loss of 500 m in altitude of the plane.
