The statement the mechanical advantage of the lever is 16 is False.

<h3>Mechanical Advantage</h3>

Mechanical advantage MA = d/D where

  • d = distance moved by effort and
  • D = distance moved by load

Given that the effort arm is 8 meters long, d = distance moved by effort = 8 m.

Also, given that the resistance arm is 2 meters long, D = distance moved by load = 2 m.

<h3>Calculating the mechanical advantage</h3>

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

MA = d/D

MA = 8 m/2 m

MA = 4

Since MA = 4, so, the stament is False.

So, the statement the mechanical advantage of the lever is 16 is False.

The radius of Venus (from the center to just above the atmosphere) is 6050 km (6050✕103 m), and its mass is 4.9✕1024 kg. An obje
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

(a) The initial speed required is 13116 m/s

(b) The escape speed is 10394 m/s

This problem involves the application of newtons laws of gravitation. The forces in action here are conservative and as a result mechanical energy is conserved.

The full calculation can be found in the attachment below.

Explanation:

In both parts (a) and (b) the energy conservation equation were used. Assumption was made that when the object is very far from the planet the distance from the planet's center approaches infinity and the gravitational potential energy approaches zero.

The calculation can be found below.

The muzzle velocity of a rifle bullet is 709 m s−1along the direction of motion. If the bullet weighs 35 g, and the uncertainty
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Uncertainty in position of the bullet is \Delta x=1.07\times 10^{-33}\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the bullet, m = 35 g = 0.035 kg

Velocity of bullet, v = 709 m/s

The uncertainty in momentum is 0.20%. The momentum of the bullet is given by :

p=mv

p=0.035\times 709=24.81\ kg-m/s

Uncertainty in momentum is,

\Delta p=0.2\%\ of\ 24.81

\Delta p=0.049

We need to find the uncertainty in position. It can be calculated using Heisenberg uncertainty principal as :

\Delta p.\Delta x\geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi}

\Delta x=\dfrac{h}{4\pi \Delta p}

\Delta x=\dfrac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi \times 0.049}

\Delta x=1.07\times 10^{-33}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
