The ideal mechanical advantage of a lever (IMA) is given by:
Where:
Le = Effort of the arm
Lr = Resistance arm.
Therefore, we can increase the force adventage by increasing the effort arm or reducing the load arm
Answer:
a. Make the effort length longer.
Complete question is;
Jason works for a moving company. A 75 kg wooden crate is sitting on the wooden ramp of his truck; the ramp is angled at 11°.
What is the magnitude of the force, directed parallel to the ramp, that he needs to exert on the crate to get it to start moving UP the ramp?
Answer:
F = 501.5 N
Explanation:
We are given;
Mass of wooden crate; m = 75 kg
Angle of ramp; θ = 11°
Now, for the wooden crate to slide upwards, it means that the force of friction would be acting in an opposite to the slide along the inclined plane. Thus, the force will be given by;
F = mgsin θ + μmg cos θ
From online values, coefficient of friction between wooden surfaces is μ = 0.5
Thus;
F = (75 × 9.81 × sin 11) + (0.5 × 75 × 9.81 × cos 11)
F = 501.5 N
52m/s is the answer because before it was gonna accelerate it was 52 m/s
Answer:
Final vertical velocity = -29m/s
Horizontal distance = 100m
Height = 20.41m
Explanation:
1. The vertical final velocity can be calculated thus: vy = vyo - gt
Where;
vy = vertical velocity (m/s)
vyo = vertical initial velocity (20m/s)
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s²)
t = time (5s)
Hence, vy = vyo - gt
vy = 20 - (9.8 × 5)
vy = 20 - 49
vy = -29m/s
2. x = V0 x t
Where;
x = horizontal distance (m)
Vo = initial velocity
t = time (s)
x = 20 × 5
x = 100m
3. Maximum height = (voy)²/2g
= 20²/ 2 × 9.8
= 400/19.6
= 20.41m
