A wedge is a machine and it is used for separating bodies.

<h3 /><h3>The Wedge as a Machine</h3>

The wedge is a combination of two inclined planes. When the wedge is driven into a body by an effort force, a much larger force will be exerted to each side by the wedge surfaces.

What are the importance of wedge?

A wedge is used to separate bodies which are held together by large forces example of this scenario is splitting of timber. A wedge is a machine and the example of wedge - type of machine are;

Axes

Chisel

Knives

Cutting tools

Note that a thin wedge has a higher mechanical advantage than a short thick one.

Therefore, a wedge is a machine and it is used for separating bodies.

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we are going to use the ideal gass law

PV = nRT

Where n (number of moles) and R are constants (in the present case)

Therefore, we can relate to thermodynamic states with their respective pressure, volume and temperature.

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$ --- (*)

Our initial state is:

P1 = 754 torr

V1 = 3.1 L

T1 = 294 K

If we consider the final state at which the ballon will explode, then:

P2 = Pmax

V2 = Vmax

T2 = 273 K

We also know that the maximum surface area is: 1257 cm^2

If we consider a spherical ballon, we can obtain the maximum radius:

$R_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{A_{max}}{4 \pi}}$

Rmax = 10.001 cm

Therefore, the max volume will be:

$V_{max} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{max}^3$

Vmax = 4 190.05 cm^3 = 4.19 L

Now, from (*)

$P_{max} = P_1 \frac{V_1T_2}{V_2T_1}$

Therefore:

Pmax= P1 * (0.687)

That is:

Pmax = 518 Torr

Many television sets show 25 images, called 'frames, each second. What is the time interval between one

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Given,

Frame rate = 25 frames per second

To find,

Time interval between one frame and the next.

Solution,

We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following process.

Now,

Number of frames = 25

Total time taken to display the given number of frames (ie. 25 frames) = 1 second

To calculate the time interval between one frame and next, we need to divide the time taken to display total number of frames by total number of frames.

So,

Time interval between one frame and next :

= Time taken to display total number of frames / Total frames

= 1/25

= 0.04 second

Hence, time interval between one frame and next is 0.04 second.
