Answer:
Explanation:
The inclined plane
An inclined plane consists of a sloping surface; it is used for raising heavy bodies. The plane offers a mechanical advantage in that the force required to move an object up the incline is less than the weight being raised (discounting friction). The steeper the slope, or incline, the more nearly the required force approaches the actual weight. Expressed mathematically, the force F required to move a block D up an inclined plane without friction is equal to its weight W times the sine of the angle the inclined plane makes with the horizontal (θ). The equation is F = W sin θ.
The lever
A lever is a bar or board that rests on a support called a fulcrum. A downward force exerted on one end of the lever can be transferred and increased in an upward direction at the other end, allowing a small force to lift a heavy weight.
The wedge
A wedge is an object that tapers to a thin edge. Pushing the wedge in one direction creates a force in a sideways direction. It is usually made of metal or wood and is used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as in securing a hammer head onto its handle.
The wheel and axle
A wheel and axle is made up of a circular frame (the wheel) that revolves on a shaft or rod (the axle). In its earliest form it was probably used for raising weights or water buckets from wells.
Its principle of operation is best explained by way of a device with a large gear and a small gear attached to the same shaft. The tendency of a force, F, applied at the radius R on the large gear to turn the shaft is sufficient to overcome the larger force W at the radius r on the small gear. The force amplification, or mechanical advantage, is equal to the ratio of the two forces (W:F) and also equal to the ratio of the radii of the two gears (R:r)
a). for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.
Yes. This one isn't bad. The 'number' and the 'unit' are the speed.
b). the si units for velocity are miles per hour.
No. That's silly.
'miles' is not an SI unit, and 'miles per hour'
is only a speed, not a velocity.
c). the symbol for velocity is .
You can use any symbol you want for velocity, as long as
you make its meaning very clear, so that everybody knows
what symbol you're using for velocity.
But this choice-c is still wrong, because either it's incomplete,
or else it's using 'space' for velocity, which is a very poor symbol.
d). to calculate velocity, divide the displacement by time.
Yes, that's OK, but you have to remember that the displacement
has a direction, and so does the velocity.
Taking ratio of W & w. ≈ 6 . w = 1/6 W. Therefore , Weight of an object on the moon is 1/6 of its weight on the earth.
1) <span>The function of the electron transport chain is to pump protons in the mitochondrion inter-membrane, thus building up a proton gradient. This gradient will allow the ATP syntheses</span><span>.</span>
2) Why we need oxygen for the electron transport chain:
At the end of the electron transport chain is the Oxygen that will accept
electrons and picks up protons to form water. If the oxygen molecule is not there the electron transport chain
will stop running, and ATP will no longer be produced. Basically, we need the oxygen to produce more ATP.
