Hello.
The efficiency of a simple machine can be expressed as the ratio of the actual mechanical advantage divided by the theoretical mechanical advantage. You were given the actual mechanical advantage as 2, so you only need to determine the theoretical mechanical advantage. With a pulley system, this becomes a simple matter of determining how many strings support the pulley, which was nicely given as three. Therefore, the efficiency in this case is 2/3, or about 67%.
Yes it would servive beacuse the fossils are dug down into the rockand unable to move
Answer:
81.81 kg
Explanation:
= Mass of person = 78.4 kg
= Mass of canister
= Initial velocity of person = 0
= Initial velocity of canister = 3.5 m/s
= Final velocity of person = 2.4 m/s
= Final velocity of canister = 1.2 m/s
The momentum balance in the system is given by
Mass of the canister is 81.81 kg.
Explanation:
Solution,
- Mass(m)= 60 kg
- Force (F)= 20 N
- Acceleration (a)= ?
We know that,
- F=ma
- a=F/m
- a=20/60
- a=0.333 m/s²
So, her acceleration is 0.333 m/s².
