Answer:

Explanation:

We know that the mechanical advantage of the hammer is is given by the ratio between the force applied on the hammer and the force required to overcome the given force.Force applied = 40 NForce required= 160 NMechanical advantage =Mechanical advantage =

Hence, the mechanical advantage of the hammer is 4.

Force B / Force A

So, 160 / 40 = 4

Calculate the change in the kinetic energy (KE) of the bottle when the mass is increased. Use the formula KE = mv2, where m is t
Aliun [14]

kinetic energy is given as

KE = (0.5) m v²

given that : v = speed of the bottle in each case =  4 m/s

when m = 0.125 kg

KE = (0.5) m v² =  (0.5) (0.125) (4)² = 1 J

when m = 0.250 kg

KE = (0.5) m v² =  (0.5) (0.250) (4)² = 2 J

when m = 0.375 kg

KE = (0.5) m v² =  (0.5) (0.375) (4)² = 3 J

when m = 0.0.500 kg

KE = (0.5) m v² =  (0.5) (0.500) (4)² = 4 J

The drawing shows a person (weight W = 588 N, L1 = 0.838 m, L2 = 0.398 m) doing push-ups. Find the normal force exerted by the f
zhenek [66]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Force on each hand is 196.22 N

Force on each foot is 95.8 N

Explanation:

In order to get a better understanding of this question let us explain some concepts

Normal Force:

We can define normal force Fn as that type of force which makes a 90 degree angle with the surface on which it is exerted.

Torque:

We can define torque as the moment of forces that tends to produce or cause rotation

From the question we are given that

Weight of body is (W) = 584 N

The normal force on both hands (Ha) = ?

The normal force on both legs (Lg) = ?

Looking at the diagram the person is at equilibrium so

                 584 = Ha + Lg

an also this mean that torques acting on the body is balanced

         So,   0.410 Ha  = 0.840 Lg

    Making Lg the subject of formula in the equation above we

   Lg = 0.4881 Ha

 Considering the first equation and replacing Lg with this recent equation we have

                      584 = Ha + 0.4881 Ha

          Therefore Ha = 392.44 N

This value obtained is  for both hands for each hand we divide by 2

Therefore we have for each hand = 392.44/2 =196.55 N

Since we have been able to get the force on both hands we can substitute it in to the equation where we made Lg the subject of formula and we have

             Lg = 0.4881 ×  392.44

                  = 191.22 N

The value above is the force on both legs to obtain the force on each leg we have

                  191.22/2 = 95.8 N.

The length of a wire 2.00 m is measured as 2.02m. What is the percentage error in the measurement?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

1%

Explanation:

Percent error can be found by dividing the absolute error (difference between measure and actual value) by the actual value, then multiplying by 100.

Percent Error=\frac{V_{measured}- V_{true} } {V_{true}} *100

The measured value is 2.02 meters and the actual value is 2.00 meters.

V_{measured}=2.02\\\\V_{true}=2.00

Percent Error=\frac{2.02-2.00}{2.00} *100

First, evaluate the fraction. Subtract 2.00 from 2.02

Percent Error=\frac{0.02}{2.00}*100

Next, divide 0.02 by 2.00

PercentError=0.01 *100

Finally, multiply 0.01 and 100.

Percent  Error=1\\Percent  Error= 1 \%

The percent error is 1%.

What does the term equilibrium refer to?
snow_lady [41]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

A) the resting position of the wave

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point which is the source to another, and this involves transfer of energy through a material medium.
  • <em><u>Equilibrium refers to a state of balance between opposing forces, it is a state of balance in which opposing forces cancel one another. </u></em>
  • <em><u>When wave is in rest position its called equilibrium position of a wave. When a wave travels through a material medium, the particles in the medium are disturbed from their resting, or equilibrium positions.</u></em>

550 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to c
Over [174]

Answer:

The amount of work that must be done to compress the gas 11 times less than its initial pressure is 909.091 J

Explanation:

The given variables are

Work done = 550 J

Volume change = V₂ - V₁ = -0.5V₁

Thus the product of pressure and volume change = work done by gas, thus

P × -0.5V₁ = 500 J

Hence -PV₁ = 1000 J

also P₁/V₁ = P₂/V₂ but V₂ = 0.5V₁ Therefore  P₁/V₁ = P₂/0.5V₁ or P₁ = 2P₂

Also to compress the gas by a factor of 11 we have

P (V₂ - V₁) = P×(V₁/11 -V₁) = P(11V₁ - V₁)/11 = P×-10V₁/11 = -PV₁×10/11 = 1000 J ×10/11  = 909.091 J of work
