A force of only 150 N can lift a 600 N sack of flour to a height of 0.50 m when using a lever as shown in the diagram below. a.

Find the work done on the sack of flour (in J). b. Find the distance you must push with the 150 N force-on the left side (in m). c. Briefly explain the benefit of using a lever to lift a heavy object.

Actually the question is not clear. The Benefit of lifting using lever is that you can apply force in a convenient direction and you can use very less force to lift object by balancing the torque due to object.For example you want to lift a mass of 4N with a force 2N you can use a class 2 lever and maintain the ratio between the distances of the body and the point of application of force from the fulcrum to be 1:2.In any case balance the torque to get the required force.

A balloon drifts 140m toward the west in 45s ; then the wind suddenly changes and the balloon flies 90m toward the east in the n
Bogdan [553]

Answer: 140 m

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating clear that motiont is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this motion, the balloon will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:

The<u> trajectory</u> is <u>the path followed by the body, the distance it travelled</u> (is a scalar quantity).  

The displacement is <u>the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position</u> (is a vector quantity).  

So, according to this, the distance the balloon traveled during the first 45 s (its trajectory) is 140 m.

But, if we talk about displacement, we have to draw a straight line between the initial position of the balloon (point 0) to its final position (point 90 m).  Being its displacement 95 m.

A child is riding a bike at a speed of 6m/s with a total kinetic energy of 1224J. If the mass of the child is 30kg, what is the
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

 Mass of bike = 38 kg.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given by the expression, KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

Here speed of child riding bike = 6 m/s

Mass of child = 30 kg

Total kinetic energy = 1224 J

Let the mass of bike be, m kg

So, total mass of child and bike = (m + 30) kg

Substituting,

  1224 = \frac{1}{2}* (m+30)*6^2\\ \\ m+30=68\\ \\ m=38kg

So, mass of bike = 38 kg.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

0.0000045 s

Explanation:

f = Frequency = 8 MHz

Clock cycle is given by

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{8\times 10^6}=1.25\times 10^{-7}\ s

Time taken for 12 clock cycles

12\times 1.25\times 10^{-7}=0.0000015\ s

Time taken per instruction is 0.0000015 s

In reading and displaying information it requires 3 processes

1 for reading, 1 for searching and 1 for displaying.

3\times 0.0000015=0.0000045\ s

Time taken is 0.0000045 s

A plane initially traveling at 200 m/s due west experiences a 10 m/s head wind coming from the opposite direction. A). What will
Hitman42 [59]
Ok so it would be late and the relative velocity would be 190 m/s because 200 m/s - 10 m/s is 190 m/s. Hope this helps.

Describe the energy transformations that take place when a skier starts skiing down a hill but after a time is brought to rest b
Andrews [41]
<span>The skier will transform their gravitational energy into mostly kinetic energy (with a minor amount transformed into heat from the friction of the skis across the snow and air friction). Once the skier hits the snowdrift, their kinetic energy is transferred into the snow which moves when they strike it due to the kinetic energy that is now in the snow. Along with again a minor amount of heat energy transferred as they move through the snowdrift.</span>
