Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .

an input force of 50 Newtons is applied through a distance of 10 meters to machine with mechanical advantage of 3. If the work o
gladu [14]
The output of the machine is

                                      (output work) =  (output force) x (distance)

                                        450 N-m      =  (output force) x (3 meters)

Divide each side
by  3 meters:                Output force = (450 N-m) / (3 m)

                                                           =    150 newtons .

With all the information given about the output work, we don't need
to know anything about the input work, or even the fact that we're
dealing with a machine.

It's comforting, though, to look back and notice that the output work
(450 N-m) is not more than the input work (500 N-m).  So everything
is nice and hunky-dory.
___________________________________

Well, my goodness !
I didn't even need to go through all of that.

Given:

-- The input force to the machine is 50 newtons.

-- The mechanical advantage of the machine is 3 .

That right there tells us that

-- The output force of the machine is 150 newtons.

We don't need any of the other given information.

A chair of mass 30.0 kg is at rest on a horizontal floor. The floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of 8
miv72 [106K]
First make sure you draw a force diagram. You should have Fn going up, Fg going down, Ff going left and another Fn going diagonally down to the right. The angle of the diagonal Fn (we'll call it Fn2) is 35° and Fn2 itself is 80N. Fn2 can be divided into two forces: Fn2x which is horizontal, and Fn2y which is vertical. Right now we only care about Fn2y.

To solve for Fn2y we use what we're given and some trig. Drawing out the actual force of Fn2 along with Fn2x and Fn2y we can see it makes a right triangle, with 80 as the hypotenuse. We want to solve for Fn2y which is the opposite side, so Sin(35)=y/80. Fn2y= 80sin35 = 45.89N

Next we solve for Fg. To do this we use Fg= 9.8 * m. Mass = 30kg, so Fg = 9.8 * 30 = 294N.

Since the chair isn't moving up or down, we can set our equation equal to zero. The net force equation in the vertical direction will be Fn + Fn2y -Fg = 0. If we plug in what we know, we get Fn + 45.89 -294 = 0. Then solve this algebraically.

Fn +45.89 -294 = 0
Fn +45.89 = 294
Fn = 248.11 N

You'll get a more accurate answer if you don't round Fn2y when solving for it, it would be something along the lines of 45.88611 etc

two people are standing 100m apart on the bank of a river that flows due east. if a rock on the opposite bank is along a bearing
salantis [7]

Answer:160.88 m

Explanation:

Given

Distance Between two person is 100

i.e. p+q=100

Let W be the width of River

From First Triangle

p=W\tan 24

From Second Triangle

q=W\tan 10

W\tan 24+W\tan 10=100

W(\tan 24+\tan 10)=100

W=\frac{100}{0.6215}

W=160.88 m

Let’s now multiply two numbers in scientific notation using Google.
olga_2 [115]
We are going to rewrite each number:
 (4.48E-8) = 0.0000000448
 (5.2E-4) = 0.00052
 We observe that when multiplying, the exponent will be on the order of 10 ^ -11
 Doing the multiplication we have:
 (4.48E-8) * (5.2E-4) = 2.3296E-11
 Rewriting:
 (4.48E-8) * (5.2E-4) = 2.33E-11
 Answer:
 
2.33E-11
