What a delightful little problem !

I think what you have here is a Class-II lever:

-- The fulcrum is the front wheel.

-- The resistance is the 140N, acting downward, 30 cm from the fulcrum.

-- The effort is the required force 'F' acting upward, 110 cm from the fulcrum
and on the same side of it.

In order to rotate the buggy upward around the fulcrum, the effort-moment
must be at least equal to the resistance-moment, in the opposite direction.

110 F = (30 x 140) = 4,200 newton-cm

F = (4,200 newton-cm) / (110 cm) = 38.2 Newtons.

Anything greater than that will lift the back end.

Assuming the starting height is 0.0 m, calculate the potential energy of the cart after it has been elevated to a height of 0.5

Bogdan [553]

The potential energy is most often referred to as the "energy at rest" and is dependent on the elevation of an object. This can be calculated through the equation,

E = mgh

where E is the potential energy, m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height. In this item, we are not given with the mass of the cart so we assume it to be m. The force is therefore,

E = m(9.8 m/s²)(0.5 m) = 4.9m

Hence, the potential energy is equal to 4.9m.

010) Identify the true statement. Group of answer choices The height of waves is determined by wind strength and fetch. Wave bas

AlekseyPX

Answer:

The height of the wave is determined by the wind strength and fetch.

Explanation:

The height of the wave is determined by the wind strength and fetch.

The more the strength and the more the fetch size the more will be the height of the wave.

Remember as the wave approaches the coast its wavelength decreases and the wave height increases, whereas when the wave goes away from the coast its wavelength increases and height decreases.
