Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is 8

Explanation:
the mechanical advantage measures how much the system multiplies the input force to get the output.

In the given:
The input force (effort) is 20 Newton
The output force (load) is 160 Newton

This means that the mechanical advantage is:
mechanical advantage = load / effort = 160 / 20 = 8

Note that the mechanical advantage is unit-less (has no unit) since it is a ratio between two forces.

Hope this helps :)

We want to find how much charge is on the electrons in a nickel coin. Follow this method. A nickel coin has a mass of about 4.2
monitta

Answer:

The number of atoms is N = 4.37*10^{22} \ atoms

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

                 The mass of coin  is m_n = 4.2g

                   Number of atom in one mole = n =6.02*10^{23} \ atoms

                   Molar mass of nickel M = 57.8g

Now the relation to obtain the number of atom in  the  nickel coin is

                        N = \frac{Mass \ of Nickel\ coin}{Molar \ mass\ of nickel }  * No\ of\atoms \ in \ \ one\  mole\ of\ nickel

                           = \frac{4.2}{57.8}* 6.02*10^{23}

                           =4.37 *10^{22} atoms

A 400g sample of water absorbs 500j of energy. how did the water temperature change if the specific heat of water is 4.18j/g©. S
Mashutka [201]

In general, the quantity of heat energy, Q, required to raise a mass m kg of a substance with a specific heat capacity of <span>c </span>J/(kg °C), from temperature t1 °C to t2 °C is given by:

<span>Q </span>= <span>mc(t</span><span>2 </span><span>– t</span>1<span>) joules</span>

<span>So:</span>

(t2-t1) =Q / mc

<span>As we know:
Q = 500 J </span>

<span>m = 0.4 kg</span>

<span>c = 4180 J/Kg </span>°c

<span>We can take t1 to be 0</span>°c

t2 - 0 = 500 / ( 0.4 * 4180 )

t2 - 0 = 0.30°c
