a screwdriver with a 1-cm shaft and a 4-cm handle is used to tighten a screw. calculate the ideal mechanical advantage.

Ideal mechanical advantage = Effort distance/Resistance distance

In the current scenario,
Effort distance = 4 cm
Resistance distance = 1 cm

Therefore,
Ideal mechanical advantage = 4/1 = 4

Answer:

IMA = Distance of Effort/ Distance of resistance

Explanation:

M.A is the force amplification of a machine.

Ideally, a screw driver has varying diameters on two ends, the shaft and the handle, however, since the question does not provide those parameters, we will assume shaft and handle have the same diameter.

DE = 4

DR = 1

Therefore, IMA = $\frac{4}{1} = 4$

If diameter is given, IMA is calculated by

Area of Effort/ Area of resistance i.e. AE/AR

An electron is initially moving at 1.4 x 107 m/s. It moves 3.5 m in the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 120 N

algol13

Answer:

K.E = 15.57 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

Explanation:

First, we find the acceleration of the electron by using the formula of electric field:

E = F/q

F = Eq

but, from Newton's 2nd Law:

F = ma

Comparing both equations, we get:

ma = Eq

a = Eq/m

where,

E = electric field intensity = 120 N/C

q = charge of electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = Mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

Therefore,

a = (120 N/C)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)/(9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg)

a = 2.11 x 10¹³ m/s²

Now, we need to find the final velocity of the electron. Using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

Vf = Final Velocity = ?

Vi = Initial Velocity = 1.4 x 10⁷ m/s

s = distance = 3.5 m

Therefore,

(2)(2.11 x 10¹³ m/s²)(3.5 m) = Vf² - (1.4 x 10⁷)²

Vf = √(1.477 x 10¹⁴ m²/s² + 1.96 x 10¹⁴ m²/s²)

Vf = 1.85 x 10⁷ m/s

Now, we find the kinetic energy of electron at the end of the motion:

K.E = (0.5)(m)(Vf)²

K.E = (0.5)(9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg)(1.85 x 10⁷ m/s)²

Is this statement true or false? The next generation of nuclear power plants being built in California and South Africa are even

alexira [117]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Modern safer and cheaper nuclear reactors can not only meet the range of our long term energy demands, they can also fight global warming.

Modern techniques provide ways to reduce radioactive waste amount. "A closed fuel cycle may be switched on for new kinds of nuclear plants. Alternatively, the waste is chemically dissuaded to transform the reusable element into fuel. This implies that nuclear waste would not be buried.

Photoelectrons with a maximum speed of 8.00 • 106 m/sec are ejected froma surface in the presence of light with a frequency of 6

Andru [333]

The kinetic energy is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

We know the mass and the maximum speed, plugging their values in the expression above we have:

$\begin{gathered} K=\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times10^{-31})(8\times10^6)^2 \\ K=2.91\times10^{-17}\text{ J} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is d.
