State an advantage of using such hydraulic jack to lift a load

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

You are going to lift and press down on the 200 N many times and move only a short distance. The reward is that slowly but surely you will lift a very heavy load -- one that cannot be managed any other way but by the hydraulic jack.

Which of these is a key feature of an experimental study?

Pavlova-9 [17]

The key feature in the experimental study is C. The treatment in the experiment must be applied to each of the individuals in the experimental group. This is because it is made sure that the variables and conditions in different correspondents are applied so that actual results may be concluded.

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of the acceleration due to gravity on the earth. A net force F acts hor

uysha [10]

Answer:

c. $a_m$

Explanation:

We are given that

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon= $a_m$

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth= $a_e$

$g_m=\frac{1}{6}g_e$

Net force due to am on an object on moon= $F_{net}=ma_m$

There is no friction and no drag force and there is no gravity involved

Then, the force acting on an object on earth= $F=ma_e$

$F=F_{net}$ (given)

$ma_m=ma_e$

$a_e=a_m$

Hence, option c is true.

If wave A has twice the amplitude and three times the frequency as wave B, then the energy carried by wave A must be ____ times

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave,

Here, the amplitude of the wave A is twice as compared to B.

So, the energy of wave A is 4 times the energy of wave B.

Light does not move infinitely fast but has a finite speed. We normally use ""c"" to indicate the speed of light in science. Wri

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr

Explanation:

Light is usually defined as an electromagnetic wave that is comprised of a definite wavelength. It is of both types, visible and invisible. The light emitted from a source usually travels at a speed of about 3 × 10^8 meter/sec. This speed of light is commonly represented by the letter 'C'.

To write it in the metric system, it has to be converted into miles/hour.

We know that,

1 minute = 60 seconds

60 minutes = 1 hour

1 kilometer = 1000 meter

1 miles = 1.6 kilometer

Now,

= $\frac{3 \times\ 10^8 meter \times\ 60 sec \times\ 60 min}{1 sec \times\ 1 min \times\ 1 hr}$

= 1.08 × 10^12 m/ hr (meter/hour)

= $\frac{1.08 \times\ 10^{12} meter \times\ 1 km \times\ 1 miles}{1 hr \times\ 1000 meter \times\ 1.6 km}$

= 6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr (miles/hour)

Thus, the value for speed of light (C) in metric unit is 6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr.
