Answer:

option c

Explanation:

Work is said to be done when a force moves a body over a distance, in the direction of force applied.

Work done = force x distance (in the direction of the force)

Therefore work = force x displacement

As displacement is distance in a specific or specified direction.

Answer:

Efficiency of a machine is how well the machine works and what the machine is capable of doing.

Mechanical advantage=Load/Effort.

8. An effort force of 15 Newtons is applied to an ideal pulley system to lift up a 16 Newton object. If the effort force is exer

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.

Explanation:

Given;

applied effort, E = 15 N

load lifted by the ideal pulley system, L = 16 N

distance moved by the effort, d₁ = 6 m

let the distance moved by the object = d₂

For an ideal machine, the mechanical advantage is equal to the velocity ratio of the machine.

M.A = V.R

$M.A = \frac{Load}{Effort} = \frac{L}{E} \\\\V.R = \frac{disatnce \ moved \ by \ the \ effort}{disatnce \ moved \ by \ the \ load} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\For \ ideal \ machine; \ M.A = V.R\\\\\frac{L}{E} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\d_2 = \frac{E \times d_1}{L} \\\\d_2 = \frac{15 \times 6}{16} \\\\d_2 = 5.625 \ m$

Therefore, the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.

Why is newton's gravitational force called universal gravitational force

Lelechka [254]

Newton’s law of gravity is considered “universal” because it is believed to be applicable to the entire Universe (to a good approximation). Gravity does not just pull an apple from a tree, but also pulls the Moon to the Earth, the Earth to the Sun, and so on. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature.

topjm [15]

Explanation:

This question involves continuous displacement in various directions. When it becomes difficult to imagine, vector analysis becomes handy.

Let us denote each of the individual displacements by a vector. Consider the unit vectors $\vec{i}\textrm{ and }\vec{j}$ as the unit vectors in the direction of East and North respectively.

By simple calculations, we can derive the unit vectors $\vec{j},\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2}\textrm{ and }\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2}$ in the directions North, $45^{o}$ South of West and $60^{o}$ North of West respectively.

So Total displacement vector = Sum of individual displacement vectors.

Displacement vector = $4(\vec{j})+6(\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2})+5(\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2})=-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}$

Magnitude of Displacement = $|-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}|=5.3km$

∴ Total displacement = $5.3km$
