To calculate MA = force needed/force used
Example
MA = 60/30 = 2
The mechanical advantage is 2

Why is the overall charge of the atom neutral or zero?

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

this is because the neutrons do not have a charge, the things that have charge in an atom are electrons and protons.

and in the nucleus of an atom, there are protons and neutrons so you can see that A is not the answer

if you see the periodic table, you will know that the number of electrons and protons are equal, so the charges cancel each other out, hence the charge of an atom will be neutral

let me give you a tip which I got from my teacher, never write there is no charge in the atom, this suggests that there is no protons or electrons.

instead, write, the it is neutral

hope it helps if not please report it so that someone else gets to try it out

The components of vector A are:

Korvikt [17]

here as it is given that x component of the vector is positive while y component of the vector is negative so we can say the vector must inclined in Fourth quadrant.

So angle must be more than 270 degree and less than 360 degree

Now in order to find the value we can say that

$tan\theta = \frac{opposite\: side}{adjacent\: side}$

$tan\theta = \frac{8.6}{6.1}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}1.41$

$\theta = 54.65^0$

so it is inclined at above angle with X axis in fourth quadrant

Now if angle is to be measured counterclockwise then its magnitude will be

$\theta = 360 - 54.65 = 305.3^0$

so the correct answer will be 305 degree

The propeller of a WW2 fighter plane is 2.35 m in diameter

Studentka2010 [4]

A) 1 rev = 2π rad. Using this ratio, you can find the rad/s: 1160 rev/min x 2π rad/rev x 1 min/60 s = 121.5 rad/s

b) You can find linear speed from angular speed using this equation (note the radius is half the diameter given in the question): v = ωr = 121.5 rad/s x 1.175 m = 142.8 m/s

c) You can find centripetal acceleration using this equation: a = v^2/r = (142.8 m/s)^2 / 1.175 m = 17 355 m/s^2

sattari [20]

Answer:

Visible light

X rays

ultraviolet radiation

gamma rays

microwave radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields which vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). Electromagnetic waves have all same speed in a vacuum ( $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ , known as speed of light) and are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency and wavelength. This classification is called electromagnetic spectrum.

From lowest to highest wavelength, the 7 types are:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Sound waves, on the contrary, do not belong to the electromagnetic spectrum, since they are another type of wave called mechanical waves (which consist of vibrations of the particles in a medium).
