Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Which statement best describes why a machine is useful?  A-A machine does a greater amount of work than the amount of work that is done on it.  B-A machine does a smaller amount of work than the amount of work that is done on it.  C-A machine can decrease both the input force and the input distance needed to do a given amount of work.  D-A machine can decrease either the input force or the input distance needed to do a given amount of work."

Answer:

D-A machine can decrease either the input force or the input distance needed to do a given amount of work.

Explanation:

A machine is a device that uses energy and work to achieve a predetermined goal. In Physics, any device that changes the direction or intensity of a force with the use of work. In summary, we can say that what best describes why a machine can decrease the input force or the input distance needed to perform a certain amount of work, for this reason, the machine is useful.

Two for are at an angle at 120 ,the bigger forces is 40N and the resultant is perpendicular to the smaller one. find the smaller
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

smaller force is 20

Explanation:

Let, magnitude of the smaller force be F Newton.

Now, the resultant force makes an angle 90° with the smaller force. So, angle between resultant force and the larger force = (120° - 90°) = 30°.

So, tan 30° = (F * sin 120°) / (40 + F * cos 120°)

(1 / √3) = {F * (√3) / 2} / {40 + F * (- 1 / 2)}

80 - F = 3F

4F = 80

F = 20.

So, magnitude of smaller force is 20 Newtons.

If the beach above is preserved by depositing sand over a wider area into the water, which of the following will most likely res
Scorpion4ik [409]

"Erosion will increase, carrying more sand away than before" will most likely result.

Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Erosion occurs when the sea area is consumed. There are five main mechanisms that cause coastal erosion. There is corrasion, hydraulic performance, abrasion, oxidation and solution/ corrosion.

Corrasion occurs when the waves remove dirt from the floor (like pebbles) and rotate it at the bottom of the rock. The shoreline is usually longer. Softer areas are covered with sediment from hard areas and rocks are removed.

If a vector A has components A. 0, and Ay -0, then the magnitude of the vector is negative. Select one: True False
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The magnitude of any vector is given by,

||A||=\sqrt{A_x^2+A_y^2}

The magnitude of anything is never negative. It can be even seen from the formula that the components are squared. A squared value can never be negative. Even if the component is negative the square will be always positive.

So, magnitude of the vector is <u>not</u> negative.

Given the following lens combination:
natulia [17]

Given:

Lens.........diameter ...fl#

eyepiece...2cm............5

objective...40cm........15

focal length of eyepiece = 2*5 = 10cm

focal length of objective = 40*15 = 600cm

magnification = FL obj / FL eyp = 600/10 = 60x
