If you try opening a door by pushing too close to the side where the hinges are, you may find it difficult to push open. Suppose

you are trying to open a door that is 75 cm wide. (Hint: To solve this one, remember the example problem in the lesson about the MA of the broom). a. If you push on the door at a point 15 cm away from the hinges, what is the mechanical advantage? b. What is the best mechanical advantage that you can obtain for any door that you simply push open? Your answer:

Answer:

<em>a) Mechanical advantage is 0.2</em>

<em>b) maximum obtainable mechanical advantage is 1</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The opening of the door is only possible when a force is used to push the door, by generating a torque on the door around the hinge.

Since the door is 75 cm wide, torque generated will be the product of the force applied and the width of the door.

torque = F x 75 = 75F

If the door was pushed at point on the door 15 cm from the hinges, the torque that will be generated will be

torque = F x 15 = 15F

a)The mechanical advantage MA is therefore

MA = 15/75 = 0.2

b) <em>The best mechanical advantage that can be obtained from when you simply push it open is 1</em>

From the case above, if we assume we push it at its maximum width from the hinge, then

MA = 75/75 = 1

An astronomer observes that the wavelength of light from a distant star is shifted toward the red part of the visible spectrum.
balandron [24]

Answer:

The distance between the earth and the star is increasing.

Explanation:

When we observe an object and its electromagnetic radiation has been displaced to blue, it means that it is getting closer to us, causing the light waves it emits to get closer together and its wavelength to decrease towards blue, this is knowm as blueshift.

On the contrary, when an object is rapidly moving away from us, the light waves or electromagnetic radiation it emits have been stretched from their normal wavelength to a longer wavelength, towards the red part of the spectrum. This is known as redshift.

This phenomenon of changes in wavelength and frequency due to movement (whether the source approaches or moves away) is described by the Doppler effect.

So for this case because the light we perceive from the star has moved to the red part of the visible spectrum, we can conclude that it is moving away from the earth, and that the distance between the star and the earth is increasing.

a rod of some material 0.20 m long elongates 0.20 mm on heating from 21 to 120°c. determine the value of the linear coefficient
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The value of the linear coefficient of thermal expansion is : α=1.01 *10⁻⁵ (ºC)⁻¹

Explanation:

Li = 0.2m

ΔL = 0.2 mm = 0.0002m

T1 = 21ºC

T2 = 120ºC

ΔT =99ºC

α =ΔL/(Li*ΔT)

α =0.0002m /(0.2m * 99ºC)

α = 1.01 *10⁻⁵   (ºC)⁻¹

A metal cube with sides of length a=1cm is moving at velocity v0→=1m/sj^ across a uniform magnetic field B0→=5Tk^. The cube is o
Nitella [24]

Answer:

the magnitude of the electric field is 1.25 N/C

Explanation:

The induced emf in the cube ε = LB.v where B = magnitude of electric field = 5 T , L = length of side of cube = 1 cm = 0.01 m and v = velocity of cube = 1 m/s

ε = LB.v = 0.01 m × 5 T × 1 m/s = 0.05 V

Also, induced emf in the cube ε = ∫E.ds around the loop of the cube where E = electric field in metal cube

ε = ∫E.ds

ε = Eds since E is always parallel to the side of the cube

= E∫ds  ∫ds = 4L since we have 4 sides

= E(4L)

= 4EL

So,4EL = 0.05 V

E = 0.05 V/4L

= 0.05 V/(4 × 0.01 m)

= 0.05 V/0.04 m

= 1.25 V/m

= 1.25 N/C

So, the magnitude of the electric field is 1.25 N/C
