-- Class I lever

The fulcrum is between the effort and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage can be anything, more or less than 1 .

Example: a see-saw

-- Class II lever

The load is between the fulcrum and the effort.

The Mechanical Advantage is always greater than 1 .

Example: a nut-cracker, a garlic press

-- Class III lever

The effort is between the fulcrum and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage is always less than 1 .

I can't think of an example right now.

Answer:

First Class of Lever: In this, Fulcrum is always changes the direction of the input force and can be used to increase the force or the distance. Second Class of Lever: In this, Fulcrum does not change direction of the input force & Output force is greater than the input force. Third Class of Lever: In this, the input force is between the fulcrum and the load does not change the direction of the input force. Here, Output force is less than input force.

Amotor supplied by 240V requires 12A to lift a 2000 lb at a rate of 25 ft/min, me power input to the motor is-

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Power input, P = 2880 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of the motor, V = 240 V

Current required, I = 12 A

Weight lifted, W = 2000 lb

It is lifting at a speed of 25 ft/min. We need to find the power input to the motor. The product of current and voltage is called power input of the motor.

$P=I\times V$

$P=12\ A\times 240\ V$

P = 2880 watts

So, the power input of the motor is 2880 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

If an object has a mass of 38 kg, what is its approximate weight on earth?

klasskru [66]

38*10=380 N
To be more exact, 38 should be multiplied by 9.8 instead of 10.

Explain why average velocity in one dimension can be positive or negative.

Softa [21]

Imagine an object is moving in one dimension on a number line, and for this we'll say that the numbers on the line are a metre apart. If the object moves from 2 m to 7 m, the change in position is 7-2=+5 metres. But if the object moves back from 7 m to 2 m, the change in position is 2-7=-5 metres. since $velocity = \frac{change in position}{time}$ , and time is always positive, velocity will be positive in one direction and negative in the other direction.

A 5.50 kg sled is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal road. The sled is pulled a distance of 3.20 m by a force of 25.

kiruha [24]

(a) 69.3 J

The work done by the applied force is given by:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where:

F = 25.0 N is the magnitude of the applied force

d = 3.20 m is the displacement of the sled

$\theta=30^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement of the sled

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

$W=(25.0 N)(3.20 m)(cos 30^{\circ})=69.3 J$

(b) 0

The problem says that the surface is frictionless: this means that no friction is acting on the sled, therefore the energy dissipated by friction must be zero.

(c) 69.3 J

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by the applied force is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the sled:

$\Delta K = W$

where

$\Delta K$ is the change in kinetic energy

W is the work done

Since we already calculated W in part (a):

W = 69.3 J

We therefore know that the change in kinetic energy of the sled is equal to this value:

$\Delta K=69.3 J$

(d) 4.9 m/s

The change in kinetic energy of the sled can be rewritten as:

$\Delta K=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$ (1)

where

Kf is the final kinetic energy

Ki is the initial kinetic energy

m = 5.50 kg is the mass of the sled

u = 0 is the initial speed of the sled

v = ? is the final speed of the sled

We can calculate the variation of kinetic energy of the sled, $\Delta K$ , after it has travelled for d=3 m. Using the work-energy theorem again, we find

$\Delta K= W = Fd cos \theta =(25.0 N)(3.0 m)(cos 30^{\circ})=65.0 J$

And substituting into (1) and re-arrangin the equation, we find

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(65.0 J)}{5.50 kg}}=4.9 m/s$
