Explanation:

The mechanical advantage is a factor that measures how input force increases using a machine.

A lever is a simple machine with the fulcrum at the center.

To calculate the mechanical advantage M.A of levers we use the expression below;

M. A = $\frac{F_{b} }{F_{a} }$ = $\frac{a}{b}$

$F_{a}$ = input force

$F_{b}$ = output force

a is the distance of the input force from the fulcrum

b is the distance of the output force from the fulcrum

Given

a = 36cm

b = 6cm

M.A = $\frac{36cm}{6cm}$ = 6

Lucy and her bike together have a mass of 120kg. She slows down from 4.5m/s to 3.5m/s. How much kinetic energy does she lose?

vovangra [49]

The kinetic energy of a moving object is given by
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where m is the object's mass and v its velocity.

In our problem, the initial kinetic energy is:
$K_i = \frac{1}{2} m v_i^2 = \frac{1}{2}(120 kg) (4.5 m/s)^2=1215 J$

while the final kinetic energy is:
$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 = \frac{1}{2}(120 kg)(3.5 m/s)^2= 735 J$

So, the kinetic energy lost by Lucy and her bike is
$\Delta K = K_i - K_f = 1215 J - 735 J = 480 J$

Two particles collide and stick together. If no external forces act on the two particles, which of the following is correct for

Semmy [17]

Answer:

c. $\Delta p$ =0 and $\Delta k$

Explanation:

We are given that two particles collide and stick together.

If there is no external force act on the two particles then ,it is inelastic collision.

Inelastic collision: There is some loss of kinetic energy but the momentum is conserved.

According to law of conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum

Change in momentum=Final momentum-Initial momentum=0

Change in momentum= $\Delta p=0$

Initial kinetic energy is greater than final kinetic energy.

Change in kinetic energy=Final kinetic energy-kinetic energy=- negative

$\Delta k$

Hence, option c is true.

c. $\Delta p$ =0 and $\Delta k$

A circular loop of diameter 10 cm, carrying a current of 0.20 A, is placed inside a magnetic field B⃗ =0.30 Tk^. The normal to t

arlik [135]

Answer:

The magnitude of the torque on the loop due to the magnetic field is $4.7\times10^{-4}\ N-m$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 cm

Current = 0.20 A

Magnetic field = 0.30 T

Unit vector $n=-0.60\hat{i}-0.080\hat{j}$

We need to calculate the torque on the loop

Using formula of torque

$\tau=NIAB\sin\theta$

Where, N = number of turns

A = area

I = current

B = magnetic field

Put the value into the formula

$\tau=1\times0.20\times\pi\times(5\times10^{-2})^2\times0.30\times\sin90^{\circ}$

$\tau=4.7\times10^{-4}\ N-m$

Hence, The magnitude of the torque on the loop due to the magnetic field is $4.7\times10^{-4}\ N-m$ .

Evaluate the final kinetic energy of the supply spacecraft for the actual tractor beam force, F(x)=αx3+βF(x)=αx3+β.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

K = 1.525 10⁻⁹ x⁴ + 4.1 10⁶ x

Explanation:

To find the variation of kinetic energy, let's use the work energy theorem

W = ΔK

∫ F .dx = K -K₀

If the body starts from rest K₀ = 0

∫ F dx cos θ = K

Since the force and displacement are in the same direction, the angle is zero, so the cosine is 1

we substitute and integrate

α ∫ x³ dx + β ∫ dx = K

α x⁴ / 4 + β x / 1 = K

we evaluate from the lower limit F = 0 to the upper limit F

α (x⁴ / 4 -0) + β (x -0) = K

K = αX⁴ / 4 + β x

K = 1.525 10⁻⁹ x⁴ + 4.1 10⁶ x

in order to finish the calculation we must know the displacement
