Hi!


Mechanical advantage is defined as the<em> ratio of force produced by an object to the force that is applied to it.</em>

In our case, this would be the ratio of the force applied by the claw hammer on the nail to the force Joel applies to the claw hammer, which is

160:40 or 4:1

So the mechanical advantage of the hammer is four.


Hope this helps!

OLga [1]
The force due to gravity is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration due to gravity. Since the acceleration due to gravity is constant, we just have to rely on the comparison of their masses to determine the mass effect. Thus, the answer to this item is Wrestler C weighing 171 pounds.

A very long uniform line of charge has charge per unit length λ1 = 4.80 μC/m and lies along the x-axis. A second long uniform li
Elodia [21]

Answer:

a) E=228391.8 N/C

b) E=-59345.91N/C

Explanation:

You can use Gauss law to find the net electric field produced by both line of charges.

\int \vec{E_1}\cdot d\vec{r}=\frac{\lambda_1}{\epsilon_o}\\\\E_1(2\pi r)=\frac{\lambda_1}{\epsilon_o}\\\\E_1=\frac{\lambda_1}{2\pi \epsilon_o r_1}\\\\\int \vec{E_2}\cdot d\vec{r}=\frac{\lambda_2}{\epsilon_o}\\\\E_2=\frac{\lambda_2}{2\pi \epsilon_o r_2}

Where E1 and E2 are the electric field generated at a distance of r1 and r2 respectively from the line of charges.

The net electric field at point r will be:

E=E_1+E_2=\frac{1}{2\pi \epsilon_o}(\frac{\lambda_1}{r_1}+\frac{\lambda_2}{r_2})

a) for y=0.200m, r1=0.200m and r2=0.200m:

E=\frac{1}{2\pi(8.85*10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2)}[\frac{4.80*10^{-6}C}{0.200m}-\frac{2.26*10^{-6}C}{0.200m}}]=228391.8N/C

b) for y=0.600m, r1=0.600m, r2=0.200m:

E=\frac{1}{2\pi(8.85*10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2)}[\frac{4.80*10^{-6}C}{0.600m}-\frac{2.26*10^{-6}C}{0.200m}}]=-59345.91N/C

Consider a turntable to be a circular disk of moment of inertia It rotating at a constant angular velocity ωi around an axis thr
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Note: Angular momentum is always conserved in a collision.

The initial angular momentum of the system is

L = ( It ) ( ωi )

where It = moment of inertia of the rotating circular disc,

ωi = angular velocity of the rotating circular disc

The final angular momentum is

L = ( It + Ir ) ( ωf )

where ωf is the final angular velocity of the system.

Since the two angular momenta are equal, we see that

( It ) ( ωi ) = ( It + Ir ) ( ωf )

so making ωf the subject of the formula

ωf = [ ( It ) / ( It + Ir ) ] ωi
