The velocity ratio of a machine is 4 simply means that the distance moved by effort is 4 times the distance moved by the load.

Mechanical Advantage = \(\frac{\text{load}}{\text{effort}}\) Given: mass(m) = 60kg, acceleration due to gravity(g) = 10ms\(^2\) and effort = 40N Load = m x g = 60 x 10 = 600N M.A = \(\frac{600}{40}\) = 15

Velocity ratio of an inclined plane = \(\frac{1}{Sin\theta}\) = \(\frac{1}{Sin 60}\) ≈ 1.155

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. This means a bus can accelerate by changing its speed, direction, or both. However, the most general definition of acceleration involves a change in velocity.

If a body in linear motion changes from point P to Q, the motion is Translational. Translational motion refers to the movement of an object from one location to another in a straight line, without any rotation involved.

the car is moving with uniform acceleration.

Mean acceleration = \(\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}\) Point 1: (2s, 5m/s) Point 2: (4s,15m/s) Mean acceleration = \(\frac{ 15 - 5 }{4 - 2}\) = 5.0ms\(^2\)

Distance = Speed \timesTime Distance = 335 x 5 = 1675m

The magnitude of the acceleration of a moving object is equal to the rate of change of its velocity over time. Gradient of a velocity-time graph refers to the slope of the graph that plots velocity (y-axis) against time (x-axis).

The total area under the entire segment from P to R (the area of the triangle plus the area of the rectangle) represents the total distance traveled by the cyclist during the motion from P to R.

A body moves with uniform velocity when there is no acceleration. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object will remain in its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by a net external force.Therefore, if the resultant force acting on the body is equal to zero, it will maintain a constant velocity, which means it can be moving at a constant speed in a straight line.

Total mass of the two boxes = 27.3 + 6.2 = 33.5kg F = ma a = \(\frac{\text{F}}{\text{m}}\) = \(\frac{150}{33.5}\) = 4.4776... ≈ 4.5 ms\(^{-2}\)

Wrenches: When using a wrench to tighten or loosen a bolt, the force applied creates a couple that produces rotational motion. II. Steering Wheels: Turning the steering wheel of a car applies a couple that rotates the front wheels, allowing for directional change. III. Door Handles: When pushing or pulling on one side of a door handle, a couple is created that rotates the door about its hinges. IV. Bicycle Pedals: When pedaling a bicycle, the force applied to the pedals generates a couple that turns the crankshaft, propelling the bike forward.

R = \(\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}\) From the above formula, it is evident that range depends on acceleration due to gravity. For real, the range of a projectile is affected by the acceleration due to gravity; it influences how far the projectile travels horizontally.

Given: time of flight T = 4s, g = 10ms\(^{-2}\), H\(_{max}\) \(\theta\) = ? T = \(\frac{2u sin\theta}{g}\) 4 = \(\frac{2 \times u sin \theta}{10}\) 40 = 2u sin\(\theta\) sin\(\theta\) = \(\frac{20}{u}\) But, H\(_{max}\) = \(\frac{u^2 sin^2 \theta}{2g}\) H\(_{max}\) = \(\frac{u^2 \times (\frac{20}{u})^2}{2 \times 10}\) H\(_{max}\) = \(\frac{20 \times 20}{20}\) = 20 metres.(u\(^2\)s cancel out) Thus H\(_{max}\) attained = 20metres.
