A ramp 20 m long and 4 m high is used to lift a heavy box. A pulley system with 4 rope sections supporting the load is used to l

ift an identical box to a height of 4 m. If friction is ignored, the ramp requires a _____ to lift the load.
a)greater input distance and a greater force

b)smaller input distance and a greater force

c)smaller input distance and a smaller force

The correct option is d)greater input distance and a smaller force

Why?

We must remember that while a pulley has more rope sections, the force requiered to lift the load will be smaller, but the input distance required to lift the load will be greater.

Hence, for the problem, the correct option is d)greater input distance and a smaller force.

Have a nice day!

sattari [20]
 <span>A = area of styrofoam 
M = mass of stryofoam = A*h*rho_s 
m = mass of swimmer 

Total mass = m + M = m + A*h*rho_s 
Downward force = g*(total mass) = g*[m + A*h*rho_s] 

The slab is completely submerged. 
Buoyant force = g*(mass of water displaced) = g*[A*h*rho_w] 

Equate these 
g*[m + A*h*rho_s] = g*[A*h*rho_w] 
m + A*h*rho_s = A*h*rho_w 
A*h*[rho_w - rho_s] = m 
A = m/[h*(rho_w - rho_s)]</span>

A 15.0-gram lead ball at 25.0°C was heated with 40.5 joules of heat. Given the specific heat of lead is 0.128 J/g∙°C, what is th
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

T=4985.5^{\circ}K

Explanation:

The equation that relates heat Q with the temperature change T-T_0 of a substance of mass <em>m </em>and specific heat <em>c </em>is Q=mc(T-T_0).

We want to calculate the final temperature <em>T, </em>so we have:

T=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_0

Which for our values means (in this case we do not need to convert the mass to Kg since <em>c</em> is given in g also and they cancel out, but we add 273^{\circ} to our temperature in ^{\circ}C to have it in ^{\circ}K as it must be):

T=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_0=\frac{40.5J}{(15g)(0.128J/g^{\circ}C)}+(298^{\circ}K)=4985.5^{\circ}K

Two sinusoidal waves are identical except for their phase. When these two waves travel along the same string, for which phase di
Kamila [148]

Answer:

zero or 2π is maximum

Explanation:

Sine waves can be written

      x₁ = A sin (kx -wt + φ₁)

     x₂ = A sin (kx- wt + φ₂)

When the wave travels in the same direction

      Xt = x₁ + x₂

      Xt = A [sin (kx-wt + φ₁) + sin (kx-wt + φ₂)]

We are going to develop trigonometric functions, let's call

     a = kx + wt

     Xt = A [sin (a + φ₁) + sin (a + φ₂)

We develop breasts of double angles

     sin (a + φ₁) = sin a cos φ₁ + sin φ₁ cos a

    sin (a + φ₂) = sin a cos φ₂ + sin φ₂ cos a

Let's make the sum

     sin (a + φ₁) + sin (a + φ₂) = sin a (cos φ₁ + cos φ₂) + cos a (sin φ₁ + sinφ₂)

to have a maximum of the sine function, the cosine of fi must be maximum

     cos φ₁ + cos φ₂ = 1 +1 = 2

the possible values ​​of each phase are

     φ1 = 0, π, 2π  

     φ2 = 0, π, 2π,  

so that the phase difference of being zero or 2π is maximum
