A screw is a mechanism that converts rotational motion to linear motion, and a torque (rotational force) to a linear force. It is one of the six classical simple machines. ... The smaller the pitch, the distance between the screw's threads, the greater themechanical advantage, the ratio of output to input force.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Three types of electromagnetic waves, used to transmit various information

Explanation:

A form of energy waves having both electric & magnetic fields are Electromagnetic waves. Three types -

Radio Waves - These have longest wavelengths & transmit data through radio, satellites, radar .

Micro Waves - These have shorter wavelengths & are used in cooking appliances & predicting weather.

X rays - These have more short wavelength and can penerate soft tissues like skin & muscle, hence are used for medical examining

You use 8x binoculars were used on a warbler (14cm long) in a tree 18cm away. What angle (in degrees) does the image of the warb

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The angle it subtend on the retina is $\theta_z = 0.44586^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the warbler is $L = 14cm = \frac{14}{100} = 0.14m$

The distance from the binoculars is $d = 18cm = \frac{18}{100} = 0.18m$

The magnification of the binoculars is $M =8$

Without the 8 X binoculars the angle made with the angular size of the object is mathematically represented as

$\theta = \frac{L}{d}$

$\theta = \frac{0.14}{0.18}$

$= 0.007778 rad$

Now magnification can be represented mathematically as

$M = \frac{\theta _z}{\theta}$

Where $\theta_z$ is the angle the image of the warbler subtend on your retina when the binoculars i.e the binoculars zoom.

$\theta_z = M * \theta$

=> $\theta_z =8 * 0.007778$

$= 0.0622222224$

Generally the conversion to degrees can be mathematically evaluated as

$\theta_z = 0.062222224 * (\frac{360 }{2 \pi rad} )$

$\theta_z = 0.44586^o$

A horizontal spring with stiffness 0.4 N/m has a relaxed length of 11 cm (0.11 m). A mass of 21 grams (0.021 kg) is attached and

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

0.6983 m/s

Explanation:

k = spring constant of the spring = 0.4 N/m

L₀ = Initial length = 11 cm = 0.11 m

L = Final length = 27 cm = 0.27 m

x = stretch in the spring = L - L₀ = 0.27 - 0.11 = 0.16 m

m = mass of the mass attached = 0.021 kg

v = speed of the mass

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of mass = Spring potential energy

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

m v² = k x²

(0.021) v² = (0.4) (0.16)²

v = 0.6983 m/s

The escape speed from the moon is much smaller than from earth. True or False

Lisa [10]

Answer:

True

The escape speed from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth.

Explanation:

The escape speed is defined as:

$v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}}$ (1)

Where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass and r is the radius.

The mass of the Earth is $5.972x10^{24}kg$ and its radius is $6371000m$

Then, replacing those values in equation 1 it is gotten.

$v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(6.67x10^{-11}N.m^{2}/kg^{2})(5.972x10^{24}kg)}{(6371000m)}}$

$v_{e} = 11.18m/s$

For the case of the Moon:

$v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(6.67x10^{-11}N.m^{2}/kg^{2})(7.347x10^{22}Kg)}{(1737000m)}}$

$v_{e} = 2.38m/s$

Hence, the escape speed from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth.

Since it has a smaller mass and smaller radius compared to that from the Earth.
