all bodies have same acceleration while coming down from an inclined plane because in such type of case acceleration does not depends upon mass....acceleration can be given as a=gsinθ......θ(theta) is the angle of the inclined plane. g is the acceleration due to gravity or 9.81 m/s2.

*Note: the acceleration due to gravity is actually based on the mass of both bodies and the square of the distance between their centers. While this means that gravity (acceleration) is not equal for all bodies, the mass of the Earth is so much greater than any measurable bodies, that can move down the inclined plane. The mass of the body is negligible in comparison and thus the change in acceleration due to gravity is likewise negligible, and generally not measurable. If a mass the size of the moon were moving down the inclined plane, then that would definitely indicate a greater acceleration.

F = m1m2/r2. Where F = force of gravity, m1 = mass of body 1, m2 = mass of body 2, and r = the distance between the bodies.

Why are some machines built with mechanical disadvantage?

For flexibility or movement. For example most of our bodies joints have a mechanical disadvantage for the simple reason we gain range of motion and flexibility.


Are Scientists and Engineers the same thing?

Often interchangable in functions. Scientists are generally those who specialise in a particular disipline, often at the analythical or resarch stages of a project. The original engineering qualifications were issued to marine steam-engine operators as there were too many ships being lost due to boiler explosions. Professional bodies set standards for entry, academic bodies set standards of engineering qualification levels - Certificate, Diploma, Degree etc


What did the unimate do?

The first Unimate was installed at a General Motors plant to work with heated die-casting machines. In fact most Unimates were sold to extract die castings from die casting machines and to perform spot welding on auto bodies, both tasks being particularly hateful jobs for people.


Define high and low velocity impact?

In mechanics, an impact refers to the shock or force produced when two or more bodies collide. High and low velocity impacts basically differ in the speed at which the objects collided. Low velocity impact is normally under 30 mph while high velocity impact is above.


What is differnence between rotary and stationary equipments?

In fluid Mechanics related assignments such as dewatering, drainage of powerhouses or tanks or designing cooling systems for mechanical & electrical equipment such as generators, transformers, HVAC systems etc or even designing boilers system for gast turbines, stationary & rotary equipment are throughly studied and utilised. Rotary equipment include trurbines, motors, heat exchangers etc where as stationary equipment include tanks, pressure vessels, tubes etc. To be more precise rotary equipments are related with dynamics , a main subject in Mechanical Engineering, the branch of physics to study the material bodies in motion or which obeys the laws of motion, inertia& momentum etc. Where as stationary equipments are related to statics which is the branch of physics to study the material bodies which are stationary or which obeys the laws of equilibrium for example moments and forces etc.

What is the direction of acceleration due to gravity State with reason?

The acceleration between two bodies is always towards the centre of mass of the bodies in question.


Two bodies having the same masses m1 equals 30 grams and m2 equals 40 grams are attached to the ends of a string of negligible mass and suspended from a light frictionless pulley find the acceleration?

To find the acceleration, we first need to calculate the net force acting on the system. The net force is the difference between the gravitational force on each mass. Then, we can use Newton's second law (F = ma) to find the acceleration. The acceleration will be the same for both masses since they are connected by the same string.


Who was the first scientist to measure speed and distance over time?

Galileo Galilei was one of the first scientists to measure speed and distance over time. He used inclined planes and rolling balls to investigate acceleration and the law of falling bodies.


What is relative acceleration?

Relative acceleration refers to the difference in acceleration between two objects that are in motion relative to each other. It measures how their acceleration vectors are changing with respect to each other as they move. This concept is often used in the study of dynamics and motion in physics.


What is the answer to this Freely falling bodies undergo what acceleration?

Freely falling bodies undergo acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 on Earth. This acceleration causes the speed of the falling object to increase as it falls towards the ground.


How are friction forces similar to others forces?

They affect the acceleration of bodies.


What is the impact of acceleration in space on the movement of celestial bodies?

The impact of acceleration in space on the movement of celestial bodies is that it can change their speed and direction of motion. This acceleration can be caused by gravitational forces from other celestial bodies or by propulsion systems on spacecraft. It can affect the orbits of planets, moons, and other objects in space, leading to changes in their trajectories and positions over time.


What is the difference between static friction and sliding friction?

Sliding friction is always less than the static friction by small amount.

What is the acceleration of falling bodies?

The acceleration of falling bodies due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, which is constant regardless of the mass of the object. This acceleration causes all objects to fall at the same rate in a vacuum, as famously demonstrated by a feather and a hammer on the Moon.


Can bodies with different velocities have same acceleration?

Yes, velocity is acceleration x time. If acceleration is the same, velocity can be different as it changes with time. For example a car accelerating with constant acceleration will have a different velocity after 5 seconds than it will have at 2 seconds.
