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!

The concrete slab of a basement is 11 m long, 8 m wide, and 0.20 m thick. During the winter, temperatures are nominally 17°C and
mina [271]

Answer:

\frac{dQ}{dt}= 4312 W

Explanation:

As we know that base of the slab is given as

A = 11 \times 8

A = 88 m^2

now we know that rate of heat transfer is given as

\frac{dQ}{dt} = \frac{kA}{x} (T_2 - T_1)

here we know that

k = 1.4 W/m k

Also we have

x =0.20

\frac{dQ}{dt} = \frac{1.4(88)}{0.20}(17 - 10)

\frac{dQ}{dt}= 4312 W

Jin walked 4 km on a straight path to get to the sandwich shop. He traveled 30° south of east.
Molodets [167]

Answer: -2 km

Explanation:

If we imagine Jin's movement to be the hypothenuse of a right triangle, then the southern component of Jin's movement corresponds to the side of the triangle opposite to the angle of 30 degrees. Therefore, the magnitude of this southern component is given by

However, the angle of 30 degrees is south of east: this means that the direction of this southern component is south, and since we generally take north as positive direction, we must add a negative sign, so the correct answer is

-2 km

the water behind hoover dam in nevada is 206 m higher than the colorado river below it. at what rate must water pass through the
Nitella [24]

Answer:

the required mass flow rate is 49484.37 kg/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we first determine the relation for mass flow rate of water that passes through the turbine;

so the relation for net work on the turbine due to the change in potential energy considering 100% efficiency is;

W_{net} = m ( Δ P.E )

so we substitute (gh) for ( Δ P.E );

W_{net} = m (gh)

m = W_{net} / gh

so we substitute our given values into the equation

m = 100 MW / ( 9.81 m/s²) × 206 m

m = ( 100 MW × 10⁶W/MW) / ( 9.81 m/s²) × 206 m

m = 10 × 10⁷ / 2020.86

m = 49484.37 kg/s

Therefore, the required mass flow rate is 49484.37 kg/s

The figure shows two 1.0 kg blocks connected by a rope. a second rope hangs beneath the lower block. both ropes have a mass of 2
lutik1710 [3]
We need first to use the formula  F=m(a+g), m iis the total mass, a is the acceleration, g is gravity pulling the blocks. So the procedure will be 
<span>m=2kg(both blocks)+500g(both ropes) → m=2.5kg </span>
<span>a=3.00m/s^2 </span>
<span>g=9.8m/s^2 </span>
<span>F=m(a+g) → F=2.5kg (3.00m/s^2 + 9.8m/s^2) → F=2.5kg (12.8m/s^2) → F=32 N 
To calculate the tension at the top of rope 1 you need to use the formula </span>T=m(a+g) so it will be <span>T=m(a+g) → T=1.5kg(12.8m/s^2) → T=19.2N 
</span>We can now calculate the tension at the bottom of rope 1 using the formula: <span>T=m(a+g) → T=1.25kg(12.8m/s^2) → T=16N 
</span>Now to find the tension at the top of rope 2 we do it like this: 
<span>T=m(a+g) → T=.25kg(12.8m/s^2) → T=3.2</span>

Find the lengths of each of the following vectors
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Generally, length of vector means the magnitude of the vector.

So, given a vector

R = a•i + b•j + c•k

Then, it magnitude can be caused using

|R|= √(a²+b²+c²)

So, applying this to each of the vector given.

(a) 2i + 4j + 3k

The length is

L = √(2²+4²+3²)

L = √(4+16+9)

L = √29

L = 5.385 unit

(b) 5i − 2j + k

Note that k means 1k

The length is

L = √(5²+(-2)²+1²)

Note that, -×- = +

L = √(25+4+1)

L = √30

L = 5.477 unit

(c) 2i − k

Note that, since there is no component j implies that j component is 0

L = 2i + 0j - 1k

The length is

L = √(2²+0²+(-1)²)

L = √(4+0+1)

L = √5

L = 2.236 unit

(d) 5i

Same as above no is j-component and k-component

L = 5i + 0j + 0k

The length is

L = √(5²+0²+0²)

L = √(25+0+0)

L = √25

L = 5 unit

(e) 3i − 2j − k

The length is

L = √(3²+(-2)²+(-1)²)

L = √(9+4+1)

L = √14

L = 3.742 unit

(f) i + j + k

The length is

L = √(1²+1²+1²)

L = √(1+1+1)

L = √3

L = 1.7321 unit
