Answer:

1) D.    The gear decreases resistance force

2) B.    A car opener

Explanation:

1): A bicycle uses a gear to decrease the resistance force as when the gears are shifted, the chain moves from a larger ring to a smaller one thus reducing the surface area of the ring as well as friction which results into a greater speed by applying same amount of effort.

2): As a compound machine is a combination of more than one simple machine. Out of all the options, a car opener is said to be a compound machine as it consist of a lever, screw, wedge and axle and wheel.

These are some of the simple machines which combines to make a complex machine ( car opener ).

A 20.0 μF capacitor initially charged to 30.0 μC is discharged through a 1.20 kΩ resistor. How long does it take to reduce the c
Kay [80]

Answer:

16.6 ms or 0.0166 s

Explanation:

If Q is the final charge, Q' is the initial charge, C the capacitance ,R is the resistance , t the time taken  and τ the time constant,

[tex]Q = Q'( 1- e^{-t\div \tau })

τ = R C = (1.20×10³) (20×10⁻⁶) = 0.024 s

15 = 30 ( 1- e^{-t\div \ 0.024 })

( 1- e^{-t\div \ 0.024 }) = 15 ÷ 30

⇒ - e^{-t\div \ 0.024 }) = 0.5 -1  

⇒  e^{-t\div \ 0.024 }) = 0.5

Taking logarithm to the base e on both sides of this equation,

⇒ t = 0.0166 seconds = 16.6 milli seconds

Llana [10]

Answer:

The final answer is 6.1 BTU = 6.5621*103 KJ

Explanation:

1 BTU= 252 cal\\1 BTU =252 × 4.2 kJ\\6.1 BTU = 252 × 6.1×4.2 kJ                = 6562.08 kJ\\                = 6.5621 × 103 kJ\\

Hence, 6.1 BTU = 6.5621 × 103 kJ

26. The speed of light in a certain medium is
horrorfan [7]

The number we need in order to answer the question belongs in the space between the words "is" and "of".  You left that blank blank, so there really isn't any question here to answer.

HOWEVER ... the refractive index of a medium can never be less than 1.0 , so we know for sure that <em>choice-a can't be</em> the correct answer.
