The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the radius of the wheel divided by the radius of the axle. On wheel and axle A,

the wheel and axle are very close in size. On wheel and axle B, the radius of the wheel is much greater than the radius of the axle.
Which wheel and axle has the greater mechanical advantage?

Answer:

Wheel and axle B

Explanation:

It is given that the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the radius of the wheel divided by the radius of the axle.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

$MA=\dfrac{r_w}{r_a}$ .................(1)

On wheel and axle A, the wheel and axle are very close in size while on wheel and axle B, the radius of the wheel is much greater than the radius of the axle.

From equation (1) it is clear that the mechanical advantage is directly proportional to the radius of wheel.

So, the mechanical advantage of wheel and axle B is greater.

You are on a train that is traveling at 3.0 m/s along a level straight track. Very near and parallel to the track is a wall that

loris [4]

Questions Diagram is attached below

Answer:

$T=2.08s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of Train $V=3.0m.s$

Angle $\theta=12\textdegree$

Height of window $h_w=0.90m$

Width of window $w_w=2.0m$

The Horizontal distance between B and A from Trigonometric Laws is mathematically given by

$b=\frac{0.9}{tan12}$

$b=4.23$

Therefore

Distance from A-A

$d_a=2.0+4.23$

$d_a=6.23$

Therefore

Time Required to travel trough d is mathematically given as

$T=\frac{d_a}{v}$

$T=\frac{6.23}{3}$

$T=2.08s$

Squids are the fastest marine invertebrates, using a powerful set of muscles to take in and then eject water in a form of jet pr

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

0.25 m/s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the law of conservation of momentum - the total momentum of the squid-water system must be conserved.

Initially, the squid and the water are at rest, so the total momentum is zero:

$p_i = 0$

After the squid ejects the water, the total momentum is

$p_f = m_s v_s + m_w v_w$

where

$m_s = 1.60 kg$ is the mass of the squid

$v_s$ is the velocity of the squid

$m_2 = 0.115 kg$ is the mass of the water

$v_w = 3.50 m/s$ is the velocity of the water

Due to the conservation of momentum,

$p_i = p_f$

so

$0=m_s v_s + m_w v_w$

so we can find the final velocity of the squid:

$v_s = -\frac{m_w v_w}{m_s}=-\frac{(0.115 kg)(3.50 m/s)}{1.60 kg}=-0.25 m/s$

and the negative sign means the direction is opposite to that of the water.

Three different people weight a standard mass of 2.00 g on the same balance. Each person obtains a reading of 2.32 g for the mas

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: precise

Explanation:

Three different people weight a standard mass of 2.00 g on the same balance. Each person obtains a reading of 2.32 g for the mass of the standard. These results imply that the balance that was used is precise.

Precision can be defined as the closeness of measured values to each other, for a measuring equipment it is the closeness of the values of readings obtained at different times to each other. It does not necessarily means the measurements are accurate(closeness to the actual value). Therefore, in the case above where three different people measured the same mass on the same balance, and each of them obtained the same value which is different from the standard value. We can say the balance used is precise because the three readings are the same.
