You pull down on a rope to raise a flag on a flag pole which describes why the rope and the flag pole act as a machine

Answer: A-they change the direction of the forces

Explanation:

Any device which makes our work simpler is known as a machine. A machine may increase the amount of output force which is determined by its mechanical advantage or a machine changes the direction of the force.

In the given situation the input force acts in the downward direction to pull the rope. The output force acts on the flag being pulled upwards at the other end. Thus, the direction of the forces varies. Correct option is A.

svetlana [45]

I think that the correct answer would be 2.

The molecules in the air are always creating pressure. Countless molecules collide into everything every second, creating a constant force. Before the air in the balloon is heated, the molecules inside are creating as much pressure as the molecules outside, meaning that the balloon stays at equilibrium and neither expands nor contracts. When they get heated, however, the inside molecules start moving with more force. They create more pressure, causing the balloon to expand outward until the pressure equalizes.

A mass executes SHM at the end of a light spring. (a) What fraction of the total energy of the system is potential and what frac
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

A) The total energy of the system is defined by the energy at maximum amplitude, which we'll call A. At that point, the energy of the system is

E = 1/2×m×A^2;

since energy is conserved, this is also the total amount of energy that the system ever has.

So at x=1/2A,

the potential energy of the system is 1/8×m×A^2

which is one-fourth of the system's total energy. Therefore, the remaining three-fourths is kinetic.

B) (i) Doubling the maximum amplitude will quadruple the total energy:

E= \frac{1}{2}m(2A)^2

(ii) Doubling the maximum amplitude will double the maximum velocity

\frac{1}{2}m(2A)^2= \frac{1}{2}mV^2

(iii) Doubling the maximum amplitude will double the maximum acceleration: m×a = -k(2A)

(iv) Doubling the maximum amplitude leaves the period unchanged:

T= 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

(neither m nor k has changed).

Naily [24]

Answer:

"0.049 W" is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to the given question,

r = \sqrt{(3.5)^2+(2.5)^2}

  =\sqrt{8.5}

SL=85

As we know,

⇒  SL=10 \ log(\frac{I}{I_o} )

     85=10 \ log(\frac{I}{10^{-12}} )

      I=3.162\times 1^{-4} \ W/m^2

Now,

⇒  P_{front} = I(2\pi r^2)

               =(3.162\times 10^{-4})(2\pi\times 18.5)

               =0.0368 \ W

               =0.75 \ P

or,

                =0.049 \ W
