Re: Machines B/C
A seesaw's short side is 0.8m long, and a long side that is 2.4m long. A mass of 50kg sits on the short, and a mass of 70kg is dropped onto the long side.
A) What is the ideal mechanical advantage of the seesaw?
B) If the larger mass exerts a force of 850 N on the seesaw as it falls onto the effort side, how much does the smaller mass accelerate upward (m/s^2)?

Re: Machines B/C
A) 2.4/.8 = 3
B) Including the effects of gravity:
F=ma
a=F//m
F= Force of falling block * IMA - Force of gravity on stationary block
m = 50 kg
a=F/m
a = (850 N * 3 - 50 kg*9.81 m/s^2)/50kg = 41.19 m/s^2
B) Including the effects of gravity:
F=ma
a=F//m
F= Force of falling block * IMA - Force of gravity on stationary block
m = 50 kg
a=F/m
a = (850 N * 3 - 50 kg*9.81 m/s^2)/50kg = 41.19 m/s^2

Re: Machines B/C
Hehe I am in division B so I (kind of) am guessing the answer.

Re: Machines B/C
Yes! Although it helps to hide your answer behind spoiler tags like this so that other people can follow along the thread and figure out the answers for themselves. Also the blades would be more fitting examples of wedges.AwersomeUser wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2019 2:30 pm Hehe I am in division B so I (kind of) am guessing the answer.

Re: Machines B/C
Ah! Sorry, I forgot to hide my answer...
1) Most machines have an actual mechanical advantage of more less one. True/False
2) The following is an example of what kind of simple machines?
3) A boy and a girl each sits on one end of a seesaw. If the 120 kg girl sits down after the boy, the boy rises/goes up by 0.4 m; and if the boy sits down after the girl, the girl rise/goes up by 20 cm. How heavy is the boy in kilogram?
(Hope the wording isn’t too confusing)

I'll take a stab at it... 1) Most have more than one AMAAwersomeUser wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 5:09 pm Ah! Sorry, I forgot to hide my answer...

2) Belt and Pulley, or just 2 pulleys
3) 60KG? I'm more than a bit confused on this question, is this even possible?
