A ramp is 1.0 m high and 3.0 m long. What is the IMA of the ramp?

1 answer:

4 0

To calculate the ideal mechanical advantage for an inclined plane, divide th length of the incline by the height of the incline.
Therefore; IMA = L/h
L= 3.0 m, while h =1.0 m
IMA = 3/1
= 3
Therefore the IMA of the ramp is 3
This means the ramp increases the force that is being exerted by 3 times.

A. Describe the mass, charge, and location of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom.

Romashka [77]

A.) i.) Mass of Proton is slightly lower than the neutron and electrons are too lighter as compared to them.

ii.) Proton has positive charge, Electron with negative, and neutrons does not have any charge.

iii.) Proton and Neutron resides under the nucleus so known as "Nucleons" whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus.

B.) Protons and Neutrons determine the atomic mass of an atom, and protons and electrons determine the charge upon it. They are the basic properties and many chemical predictions could be made by this information.

MAVERICK [17]

The temperature to which it must be heated in order to fit the shaft is 73.33 ⁰C.

<h3>Linear expansivity </h3>

The temperature to which it must be heated in order to fit the shaft is calculated as follows;

$\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha \Delta T\\\\\Delta T = \frac{\Delta L}{\alpha L}$
