If it takes 100 N to push a 300 n up an inclined plane, what was the mechanical advantage of the ramp

1 answer:

6 0

The mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio between the load (output force) and the effort (input force):
$MA = \frac{L}{E}$
for the ramp in our problem, the output force is 300 N, while the input force is 100 N, so the mechanical advantage of the ramp is:
$MA= \frac{300 N}{100 N}=3$

<h2>Answer: B)Scientists’ understanding of cells continually improved as the results of studies built upon each other over time and formed the cell theory.</h2>

Explanation:

Nowadays we know <u>cells are essential microscopic units that make up the living beings, capable of reproducing independently. </u>

However, this is the result of a long process of discoveries and studies made since the 19th century, in which the continuous improvement of new technologies was helpful.

In fact, it is wel known the English scientist Robert Hooke was the first to discover the existence of cells by looking through a compound microscope at a cork sheet, realizing that it was made up of small polygonal holes (like those of a honeycomb) that reminded him of the chambers in which the monks stayed (called cells). Then, during the next centuries more studies were made until we had the current knowledge about the structure of a cell.

A car goes from rest to a velocity of 108 km/h north in 10s what is the car's acceleration in m/s2

fomenos

initial velocity of the car given as

$v_i = 0$

final velocity is given as

$v_f = 108 km/h$

as we know that

$1 km/h = 0.277 m/s$

now we can convert final speed into m/s

$v_f = 108 * 0.277 = 30 m/s$

now acceleration is rate of change in velocity

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{30 - 0}{10}$

$a = 3 m/s^2$

so the acceleration of the car is 3 m/s^2

If the wavelength of a wave is quadrupied then what happens to the frequency of the wqve(Assume speed is constant)

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

What happens to the wavelength of a wave if you double the frequency?

If the frequency of a wave is increased, what happens to its wavelength? As the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases. 2. If the frequency is doubled, the wavelength is only half as long.

A mass on a horizontal surface is connected to the spring and pulled to the right along the surface stretching the spring by 25

solniwko [45]

Answer:

320 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we deduce that

F=kx where F is applied force, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression of spring

Making k the subject of formula then

$k=\frac {F}{x}$

Conversion

1m equals to 100cm

Xm equals 25 cm

25/100=0.25 m

Substituting 80 N for F and 0.25m for x then

$k=\frac {80}{0.25}=320N/m$

Therefore, the spring constant is equal to 320 N/m

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati

zlopas [31]

Answer:

acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.

u = 0 m/s

After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.

t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s

Using

v = u + at

19.6 = 0 + 2a

a = 9.8 m/s²
