    Grade 11 Physics
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving physics problems related to work, efficiency, power, and mechanical advantage. Key points include calculating the efficiency and power output of a machine that does 4000 J of work on a 20 kg object, determining the number of rope strands needed for a block and tackle lifting a 100 kg load with a maximum force of 220 N, and analyzing the ideal and actual mechanical advantage of a wrench used on a bolt. Additionally, the force required to push a 120-kg box up a ramp and the ramp's efficiency are explored. The conversation emphasizes foundational physics formulas and the importance of understanding concepts rather than merely completing homework.

I have a few questions I've been having troubles with, and I was hoping someone could help me out...
1) A machine does 4000 J of work in accelerating a 20 kg object, intially at rest, at 3.0 m/s2 for 5.0s determine
a) The efficiency of the machine
b) The power output of the machine

2)A block and tackle is used to raise a 100kg load. If the maximum applied force is 220N, how many strands of rope must support the moveable block?

3)A wrench is used to turn a bolt of 6.0mm diameter. The centre of the bolt head is 0.2m from the applied force.
a) what is the IMA of this machine?
b) If the efficiency is 50%, what is the AMA of the machine?

4) A ramp is 12m in length and has a grade of 25%
a)If friction is neglected, what force is required to push a 120-kg box up the ramp?
b) If the actual force required is 490 N, determine the efficiency of the ramp.

If someone could help me it would be awesome!

Well I did this in 7th grade, what do you know so far about these problems? We wouldn't want to do your homework for you, would we?
 
IMA

IMA = DE/DR
where DE equals the effort distance and DR equals the resistance distance.

Properties of an ideal machine, which does not exist in reality:
1. It is frictionless.
2. Its actual mechanical advantage is equal to its ideal mechanical advantage.
3. Its mechanical efficiency is 100%

Power

P=W/t
P=power
W=work
t=time

Power is work exerted over time.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
