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

Explanation:

Linear speed is given by

$v=r\omega$

Kinetic energy is given by

$KE=0.5I\omega^{2}$

Potential energy

PE= mgh

From the law of conservation of energy, KE=PE hence

$0.5I\omega^{2}=mgh$ where m is mass, I is moment of inertia, $\omega$ is angular velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is height

Substituting m2-m1 for m and 0.5l for h, $\frac {2v}{L}$ for $\omega$ we obtain

$0.5I(\frac {2v}{L})^{2}=0.5Lg(m2-m1)$

$(\frac {2v}{L})^{2}=\frac {gl(m2-m1)}{I}$ and making v the subject

$v^{2}=\frac {gl^{3}(m2-m1)}{4I}$

$v=\sqrt {\frac {gl^{3}(m2-m1)}{4I}}$

For the rod, moment of inertia $I=\frac {ML^{2}}{12}$ and for sphere $I=MR^{2}$ hence substituting 0.5L for R then $I=M(0.5L)^{2}$

For the sphere on the left hand side, moment of inertia I

$I=m1(0.5L)^{2}$ while for the sphere on right hand side, $I=m2(0.5L)^{2}$

The total moment of inertia is therefore given by adding

$I=\frac {ML^{2}}{12}+ m1(0.5L)^{2}+ m2(0.5L)^{2}=\frac {L^{2}(M+3m1+3m2)}{12}$

Substituting $\frac {L^{2}(M+3m1+3m2)}{12}$ for I in the equation $v=\sqrt {\frac {gL^{3}(m2-m1)}{4I}}$

Then we obtain

$v=\sqrt {\frac {gL^{3}(m2-m1)}{4(\frac {L^{2}(M+3m1+3m2)}{12})}}=\sqrt {\frac {3gL^{3}(m2-m1)}{L^{2}(M+3m1+3m2)}}$

This is the expression of linear speed. Substituting values given we get

$v=\sqrt {\frac {3*9.81*0.8^{3}(0.05-0.02)}{0.8^{2}(0.39+3(0.02)+3(0.05))}} \approx 1.08 m/s$

A bullet blasts from the barrel of a gun upward in the vertical direction with an initial speed of 700 m/s . Find the maximum al

ryzh [129]

The maximum altitude that the bullet will reach is the point at which its velocity is zero. The equation that may be used in order to determine the altitude is,

D = ((Vi)2 – (Vf)2)/2g

Where Vi and Vf are the initial and final velocities, respectively. g is the deceleration due to gravity.

Substituting the known values,

D = ((700 m/s)2 – (0 m/s)2) / (2(-9.8 m/s2))

D = 25000 m

Thus, the maximum height is 25000 m.

For the time needed to reach it, we use the equation,

Vf = Vi – (g)(t)

Substituting,

0 = 700 m/s – (-9.8 m/s2)(t)

The value of t is equal to 71.43 s.

An iron ball and an aluminum ball of mass 100 g each are heated to the same temperature and then cooled to a temperature of 20°C

Mekhanik [1.2K]

As the temperature changes and their masses are the same, heat lost by the balls is directly proportional to their specific heat values. The heat lost by the aluminum ball is higher implies aluminum has higher specific heat.
