How much force is needed to pull a spring with a spring constant of 20 N/m a distance of 25 m?

A baseball bat is a lever. Which of the following explains how a baseball bat differs from a lever like a pry bar?

Gnesinka [82]

Complete question is;

A baseball bat is a lever. Which of the following explains how a baseball bat differs from a lever like a pry bar?

A) In a baseball bat, effort force is smaller and is applied over a large distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

B) In a baseball bat, effort force is smaller and is applied over a large distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a short distance.

C) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

D) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a short distance.

Answer:

C) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C. This is because unlike in a pry bar, the effort force when swinging a baseball bat is larger and it is applied over a short distance; and in return the resisting force is smaller and it's applied over a long distance.

The ratio of the lift force L to the drag force D for the simple airfoil is L/D = 10. If the lift force on a short section of th

Yuri [45]

Answer:

$R=64.32\ lb\\\\\theta=84.3\°$

Explanation:

Given:

Ratio of lift force to drag force is, $\frac{L}{D}=10$

Lift force on a short section is, $L=64\ lb$

Magnitude of resultant, $R= ?$

The angle of 'R' with the horizontal is, $\theta=?$

We know that, lift force and drag are at right angles to each other. So, the resultant can be computed using Pythagoras theorem.

For calculating 'R', we first compute drag force 'D'.

As per question:

$\frac{L}{D}=10\\\\D=\frac{L}{10}=\frac{64\ lb}{10}=6.4\ lb$

Now, the magnitude of resultant 'R' is given as:

$R=\sqrt{L^2+D^2}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'R'. This gives,

$R=\sqrt{64^2+6.4^2}\\\\R=\sqrt{4096+40.96}\\\\R=\sqrt{4136.96}=64.32\ lb$

Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant force 'R' is 64.32 lb.

Now, the angle $\theta$ is given as the arctan of the ratio of the lift and drag force.

Therefore,

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(L/D)\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(10)\\\\\theta=84.3\°$

Therefore, the angle made with the horizontal is 84.3°.

Express the vector R B in terms of A, B, C, and Ď, the edges of a parallelogram.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

R=0.5B+0.5C+2A+D

Explanation:

By the triangular law of vector addition

vector R= vector B- vector D

As A,B,C,D are edges of the parallelogram,

A is parallel to D but opposite in direction.

Therefore

$A = (-D)$ ; $A//D$ ;

$2A=-2D$

B is parallel to C and in same direction.

$B//C\\B=C\\$

$0.5B=0.5C\\$

$R= B-D;\\R= 0.5B+0.5B-D;\\R=0.5B+0.5C-D;\\R=0.5B+0.5C-2D+D;\\R=0.5B+0.5C+2A+D;$

What is the difference between polarization and induction?

nalin [4]

In which it is the plane in which charges move. for example in electromagnetic waves polarization means the plane in which electrons oscillate. ... it is the distribution of electric charges (electron) in an object. induction of charges takes place in some insulators just by some mechanical interaction such as rubbing
