The correct answer is 15 N.

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of a machine is calculated as,

M.A = Output Force/ Input Force

Given, mechanical advantage=2

Output force = 30 N

Substituting the values,

2=\frac{30}{I.F}

Input force = 15 N

∴ The input force must be 15 N.

Two small stereo speakers are driven in step by the same variable-frequency oscillator. Their sound is picked up by a microphone
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The fundamental frequency at which the sound of speakers at the microphone produce constructive interference is 801.076458 Hz

Explanation:

For a given arrangement having constructive interference, we have;

R₁ - R₂ = 2·x = 0 + n·λ

The distance from one speaker to the microphone. R₁ = 4.50 m

The distance between the two speakers = 2.00 m

The angle formed between the direction from the microphone to the speaker closest and the directional path between the speakers = 90°

Therefore, by Pythagoras's theorem, the distance from the speaker furthest from the microphone, to the microphone, 'R₂' is given as follows;

R₂ = √(4.50² + 2.00²) = √(24.25) = 4.9244289009 ≈ 4.924

∴ R₂ ≈ 4.9244289 m

R₂ - R₁ = 4.9244289 m - 4.5 m = 0.4244289 m

For constructive interference, R₂ - R₁ =0.4244289 m = n·λ

For n = 1, we have;

R₂ - R₁ =0.4244289 m = n·λ = 1 × λ = λ

λ = 0.4244589 m

f = v/λ = 340 m/sec/(0.4244289 m) ≈ 801.076458 Hz

Therefore the lowest possible fundamental frequency at which the speakers produce constructive interference, f = 801.076458 Hz

What type of energy is involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks?
ziro4ka [17]
<span>First question: The type of energy involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks is: option d. Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy associated with motion. A body (in this case the water) that moves has an energy associated with its motion that is proportional to the speed (exactly to the square of the speed). When the water collides with the banks it is the kinetic energy of the river that erodes it Second question: the answer is the option d. As gravity pulls water down a slope potential energy changes to knietic energy. This is the, water loses altitude and gains velocity. The potential energy. which is proportional to the height, decreases and the kinetic energy, which is proportional to the square of the speed, increases.</span>

4. Describe how the velocity of an object changes if it undergoes uniformly acceleration motion. Can its direction change?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

n the case of linear motion, the change occurs in the magnitude of the velocity, the direction remaining constant.

In the case of circular motion, the magnitude of the velocity remains constant, the change in its direction occurring.

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector therefore it has magnitude and direction, a change in either of the two is the consequence of an acceleration on the system.

In the case of linear motion, the change occurs in the magnitude of the velocity, the direction remaining constant.

              a_{t} = (v₂-v₁)/Δt

In the case of circular motion, the magnitude of the velocity remains constant, the change in its direction occurring.

                    a_{c} = v2/R

In the general case, both the module and the address change

             a = Ra (  a_{t}^2 +   a_{c}^2)

A lawnmower engine running for 20 minutes does 4560000 j of work. What is the power output of the engine
Alenkasestr [34]

<em>Answer: </em>

tim e (t) = 20 min.

            = 20 × 60 = 1200 s ,

Work ( W) = 4560000 J

                 = 4560 KJ ,

Determine:

                 Power output (P) = Work ÷ time

                                              = 4560 ÷  1200

                                         <em>   P  = 3.8 KW</em>

Do frictional forces act in the same direction or in the opposite direction to the applied force?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Frictional forces act in the direction opposite to the MOTION. That direction could be the same OR opposite to applied force.

-- If you push a loaded heavy wagon from behind, trying to get it going faster, friction is acting against you, opposite to your force.

-- If you push a loaded rolling heavy wagon from in front, trying to make it slow down, friction is acting with you, in the same direction as your force.

-- Opposite to the motion both times.
