If you have to apply 40n of force on a crowbar to lift a rock that weights 400n, what is the actual mechanical advantage of the

The mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio between the force produced by a machine and the force applied in input:
MA= \frac{F_{out}}{F_{in}}
For the crowbar of the problem, the force applied in input is 40 N, while the force produced in output is equal to the weight of the rock that is lifted, so 400 N. Therefore, the mechanical advantage is
MA= \frac{400 N}{40 N}=10

Answer:

The speed of the ball 1.0 m above the ground is 44 m/s (Answer A).

Explanation:

Hi there!

To solve this problem, let´s use the law of conservation of energy. Since there is no air resistance, the only energies that we should consider is the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy. Because of the conservation of energy, the loss of potential energy of the ball must be compensated by a gain in kinetic energy.

In this case, the potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy as the ball falls (this is only true when there are no dissipative forces, like air resistance, acting on the ball). Then, the loss of potential energy (PE) is equal to the increase in kinetic energy (KE):

We can express this mathematically as follows:

-ΔPE = ΔKE

-(final PE - initial PE) = final KE - initial KE

The equation of potential energy is the following:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

The equation of kinetic energy is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

m = mass of the ball.

v = velocity.

Then:

-(final PE - initial PE) = final KE - initial KE          

-(m · g · hf - m · g · hi) = 1/2 · m · v² - 0     (initial KE = 0 because the ball starts from rest)  (hf = final height, hi = initial height)

- m · g (hf - hi) = 1/2 · m · v²

2g (hi - hf) = v²

√(2g (hi - hf)) = v

Replacing with the given data:

√(2 · 9.8 m/s²(101 m - 1.0 m)) = v

v = 44 m/s

The speed of the ball 1.0 m above the ground is 44 m/s.

There are many ways to lose weight, but a sustainable plan generally involves behavior modification related to diet and exercise
Anna007 [38]

The answer is adequate nutrition, regular physical activity, and practical ways to reduce calories while retaining important nutrients.

Explanation:

Despite that adequate nutrition, regular physical activity, and practical ways to reduce calories while retaining important nutrients is one of the best strategy to reducing weight, most time it is very difficult for those that want to reduce or control their weight to discipline themselves enough to follow these routine. But one an individual that want to loose weight or live a healthy lifestyle is able to follow these procedures he/she will surely loose weight.

A radioactive source has a half life of 80s.
Burka [1]
Lets make the original number of nuclides at the start is 100.

If 7/8 of 100 is decayed, that means 87.5 decayed.

\frac{7}{8} \times 100 = 87.5

And there is 1/8 left of the number of nuclide 100. Which is 12.5

100 - 87.5 =12.5

\frac{1}{8} \times 100 = 12.5

How many Half lifes passed for 100 to become 12.5 is 3 Half-Lives.

100 \div 2 \div 2 \div 2 = 12.5

Each Half-Life is 80 seconds so there is 240 seconds

3 \times 80 = 240The answer is that it takes 240 seconds.

Centripetal force Fc acts on a car going around a curve. If the speed of the car were twice as great, the magnitude of the centr
kondaur [170]

Answer:

We need 4 times more force to keep the car in circular motion if the velocity gets double.

Explanation:

Lets take the mass of the car = m

The radius of the arc = r

F=\frac{m\times v^2}{r}

Given that speed of the car gets double ,v' = 2 v

Then the force on the car = F'

F'=\frac{m\times v'^2}{r}  ( radius of the arc is constant)

F'=\frac{m\times (2v)^2}{r}

F'=4\times \frac{m\times v^2}{r}

We know that F=\frac{m\times v^2}{r}

Therefore F' = 4 F

So we can say that we need 4 times more force to keep the car in circular motion if the velocity gets double.
