Answer:

The answer is a wedge.

Explanation:

The wedge is a combination of two inclined planes. It is used to separate bodies which are held together by large forces, e.g, splitting timber

M.A.= slant height of wedge/thickness of wedge.

Hence a long thin wedge has a higher mechanical advantage than a short thick one; or the smaller the angle theta between the slant heights, the greater the mechanical advantage.

Energy is observed in two basic forms: potential and kinetic. Which of the following correctly matches these forms with a source

Travka [436]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

Kinetic energy is the energy which is due to the motion of body.

Potential energy is the energy due to virtue of position of the object.

option A is not true because potential energy is due the position of the body

Option B should be the potential energy not kinetic energy.;

Option D is motion of individual molecule leads to kinetic energy not potential energy.

So, the correct answer is option is the covalent bonds of a sugar molecule is potential energy because of the position of bond.

In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

17304 J

Explanation:

Complete statement of the question is :

In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to the top of the slope, a rider and his tube, with a total mass of 84 kg , are pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 350 N .

Part A

How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?

Solution :

$T$ = tension force in the tow rope = 350 N

$L$ = length of the incline surface = 120 m

$W_{t}$ = work done by tension force = ?

The tension force acts parallel to incline surface, hence work done by tension force is given as

$W_{t} = T L\\W_{t} = (350) (120)\\W_{t} = 42000 J$

$h$ = height gained by the rider = 30 m

$m$ = total mass of rider and tube = 84 kg

Potential energy gained is given as

$U = mgh\\U = (84) (9.8) (30)\\U = 24696 J$

$Q$ = Thermal energy created

Using conservation of energy

$Q = W_{t} - U\\Q = 42000 - 24696\\Q = 17304 J$

An object is moving to the west at a constant speed. three forces are exerted on the object. one force is 10 n directed due nort

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

If we want the object to continue to move at constant speed, it means that the resultant of the forces acting on the object must be zero. So far, we have:
- force F1 with direction north, of 10 N
- force F2 with direction west, of 10 N
The third force must balance them, in order to have a net force of zero on the object.

The resultant of the two forces F1 and F2 is
$F_{12} = \sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}= \sqrt{(10 N)^2+(10 N)^2}= \sqrt{200}=14.1 N$
with direction at $45^{\circ}$ north-west. This means that F3 must be equal and opposite to this force: so, F3 must have magnitude 14.1 N and its direction should be $45^{\circ}$ south-east.

Four examples of compounds which are classed as carbohydrate

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Carbohydrates are divided into four types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides consist of a simple sugar; that is, they have the chemical formula C 6 H 12 O 6. Disaccharides are two simple sugars. Oligosaccharides are three to six monosaccharide units, and polysaccharides are more than six.
