Suppose you use a machine that gives you a mechanical advantage of 2 to achieve an output force of 30 Newtons. What must the inp

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.

A weight lifter picks up a barbell and 1. lifts it chest high 2. holds it for 30 seconds 3. puts it down slowly (but does not dr
Anna11 [10]

1. lifts it chest high

The force opposing to this action is the force due to gravity. Therefore the work done is:

W1 = m g d

where m is mass of the barbell, g is gravity and d is displacement

 

2. holds it for 30 seconds

Work is a product of force and displacement, since there is no displacement, therefore work done is zero.

W2 = 0

 

3. puts it down slowly

If the barbell was dropped, then it would simply be a free fall. But since it was not, so the work done here is also equal to the weight of the barbell times displacement:

W3 = m g d

 

We can see that W1 = W3, and since W2 = 0, therefore the answer is:

<span>w3 = w1 > w2</span>

The severity of a tropical storm is related to the depressed atmospheric pressure at its center. In August 1985, Typhoon Odessa
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

4.16 L

Explanation:

Assuming constant temperature,

At the edge of Typhoon Odessa: P₁ = 1 atm = 1013.3 mbar,

V₁  = 4.0 L

At the center of Typhoon Odessa: P₂ = (1013.3 - 40.0) mbar = 973.3 mbar

V₂ = ? L

For a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature (Boyle's law) : P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V₂ = V₁ × (P₁/P₂)

V₂= (4.0) × (1013.3/973.3)

V₂= 4.16 L

A 12 kg box is pulled across the floor with a 48 N horizontal force. If the force of friction is 12 N, what is the acceleration
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the box is 3 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 12 kg

horizontal force pulling the box forward, Fx = 48 N

frictional force acting against the box in opposite direction, Fk = 12 N

The net horizontal force on the box, F = 48 N - 12 N

The net horizontal force on the box, F = 36 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the acceleration of the box;

F = ma

where;

F is the net horizontal force on the box

a is the acceleration of the box

a = F / m

a = 36 / 12

a = 3 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the box is 3 m/s²

A 50-ω resistor is connected to a 9.0 V battery. How much thermal energy is produced in 7.5 minutes?1.2 * 10^2 J1.3 * 10^3 J3.0
emmasim [6.3K]

In order to calculate the thermal energy, first let's calculate the power, using the formula:

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

For a voltage V = 9 Volts and a resistance R = 50 ohms, we have:

\begin{gathered} P=\frac{9^2}{50} \\ P=\frac{81}{50}=1.62\text{ W} \end{gathered}

Now, multiplying the power by the time (in seconds), we can find the energy:

\begin{gathered} E=P\cdot t \\ E=1.62\cdot7.5\cdot60 \\ E=729\text{ J} \end{gathered}

In scientific notation, we have an energy of 7.3 * 10^2 J, therefore the correct option is the fourth one.
