The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is

(Length of the incline) / (its height)

= (10m) / (1m)

= 10 .

It's the same for any load, and doesn't depend on the mass that you're trying to move up or down the ramp.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

a) v₃ = 19.54 km, b)  70.2º north-west

Explanation:

This is a vector exercise, the best way to solve it is finding the components of each vector and doing the addition

vector 1 moves 26 km northeast

let's use trigonometry to find its components

         cos 45 = x₁ / V₁

         sin 45 = y₁ / V₁

         x₁ = v₁ cos 45

         y₁ = v₁ sin 45

         x₁ = 26 cos 45

         y₁ = 26 sin 45

         x₁ = 18.38 km

         y₁ = 18.38 km

Vector 2 moves 45 km north

        y₂ = 45 km

Unknown 3 vector

          x3 =?

          y3 =?

Vector Resulting 70 km north of the starting point

           R_y = 70 km

we make the sum on each axis

X axis

      Rₓ = x₁ + x₃

       x₃ = Rₓ -x₁

       x₃ = 0 - 18.38

       x₃ = -18.38 km

Y Axis

      R_y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

       y₃ = R_y - y₁ -y₂

       y₃ = 70 -18.38 - 45

       y₃ = 6.62 km

the vector of the third leg of the journey is

         v₃ = (-18.38 i ^ +6.62 j^ ) km

let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length

         v₃ = √ (18.38² + 6.62²)

         v₃ = 19.54 km

to find the angle let's use trigonometry

           tan θ = y₃ / x₃

           θ = tan⁻¹ (y₃ / x₃)

           θ = tan⁻¹ (6.62 / (- 18.38))

           θ = -19.8º

with respect to the x axis, if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x axis it is

          θ’= 180 -19.8

          θ’= 160.19º

I mean the address is

          θ’’ = 90-19.8

          θ = 70.2º

70.2º north-west

A ball was kicked upward at a speed of 64.2 m/s. how fast was the ball going 1.5 seconds later
UNO [17]

Anything that's not supported and doesn't hit anything, and
doesn't have any air resistance, gains 9.8 m/s of downward
speed every second, on account of gravity.  If it happens to
be moving up, then it loses 9.8 m/s of its upward speed every
second, on account of gravity.

                (64.2 m/s)  -  [ (9.8 m/s² ) x (1.5 sec) ] 

            =  (64.2 m/s)  -       [      14.7 m/s      ]

            =             49.5 m/s  .  (upward)

You must determine the length of a long, thin wire that is suspended from the ceiling in the atrium of a tall building. A 2.00-c
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let L be the length of the wire.

velocity of pulse wave v = L / 24.7 x 10⁻³ = 40.48 L  m /s

mass per unit length of the wire m = 14.5 x 10⁻⁶ x 10⁻³ / 2 x 10⁻² kg / m

m = 7.25 x 10⁻⁷ kg / m

Tension in the wire = Mg  , M is mass hanged from lower end.

= .4 x 9.8

= 3.92 N

expression for velocity of wave in the wire

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m} }    , T is tension in the wire , m is mass per unit length of wire .

40.48 L = \sqrt{\frac{3.92}{7.25\times10^{-7}} }

1638.63 L² = 3.92 / (7.25 x 10⁻⁷)

L² = 3.92 x 10⁷ / (7.25 x 1638.63 )

L² = 3299.64

L = 57.44 m /s

A 50-kg person stands 1.5 m away from one end of a uniform 6.0-m-long scaffold of mass 70.0 kg.
babymother [125]

Answer

given,

mass of the person, m = 50 Kg

length of scaffold = 6 m

mass of scaffold, M= 70 Kg

distance of person standing from one end = 1.5 m

Tension in the vertical rope = ?

now equating all the vertical forces acting in the system.

T₁ + T₂ = m g + M g

T₁ + T₂ = 50 x 9.8  + 70 x 9.8

T₁ + T₂ = 1176...........(1)

system is equilibrium so, the moment along the system will also be zero.

taking moment about rope with tension T₂.

now,

T₁ x 6 - mg x (6-1.5) - M g x 3 = 0

'3 m' is used because the weight of the scaffold pass through center of gravity.

6 T₁ = 50 x 9.8 x 4.5 + 70 x 9.8 x 3

6 T₁ = 4263

    T₁ = 710.5 N

from equation (1)

T₂ = 1176 - 710.5

 T₂ = 465.5 N

hence, T₁ = 710.5 N and T₂ = 465.5 N

American Football Field Uses A Field That Is 100.0 Yd Long, Whereas A Soccer Field Is 100.0m Long. Which Field Is Longer And By
postnew [5]
Note that
1 yd = 0.9144 m

Therefore,
The length of an American Football field is
(100 yds)*(09144 m/yd) = 91.44 m

Because the soccer field is 110 m long, its length exceeds the American Football Field by
100 - 91.44 = 8.56 m
or
(8.56/.9144) =  9.36 yd
This difference is equivalent to (8.56/91.44)*100 = 9.4%

Answer:
The Soccer Field is longer by
8.56 m, or
9.36 yd, or
9.4%
