If the machine's mechanical advantage is 4.5, that means that

Output force = (4.5) x (Input force) .

We know the input force, and we need to find the output force. Rather than wander around the room looking at the floor while our hair smolders, let's try putting the numbers we know into the equation I wrote up there. OK ?

Output force = (4.5) x (Input force)

Output force = (4.5) x (800 N)

Now dooda multiplication:

<em>Output force = 3,600 N</em> .

That's exactly what the question asked for. So we're done !

An electron enters a region with a speed of 5×10^6m/s and is slowed down at the rate of 1.25×10^-4m/s². How far does the electro

Mashutka [201]

1) The distance travelled by the electron is $1\cdot 10^{17} m$

2) The time taken is $4.0\cdot 10^{10}s$

Explanation:

The electron in this problem is moving by uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), so we can use the following suvat equation

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance travelled

For the electron in this problem,

$u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s$ is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity (it comes to a stop)

$a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Solving for s, we find the distance travelled:

$s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(5\cdot 10^6)^2}{2(-1.25\cdot 10^{-4})}=1\cdot 10^{17} m$

The total time taken for the electron in its motion can also be found by using another suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

Here we have

$u=5\cdot 10^6 m/s$

v = 0

$a=-1.25\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2$

And solving for t, we find the time taken:

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-5\cdot 10^6}{-1.25\cdot 10^{-4}}=4.0\cdot 10^{10}s$

Four ways to increase magnitude of current in dynamo

8090 [49]

Answer:

hmm

Explanation:

By increasing the number of turns in the coil, strength of magnetic field, speed of rotation of the coil in the magnetic field and by decreasing the distance between the coil and the magnet the magnitude of the induced e.m.f. can be increased in generator/dynamo.

What factors determine the distance at which two atoms form a bond ?

dsp73

Answer:

The length of the bond is determined by the number of bonded electrons (the bond order). The higher the bond order, the stronger the pull between the two atoms and the shorter the bond length. Generally, the length of the bond between two atoms is approximately the sum of the covalent radii of the two atoms.

If a person is near sighted what type of lens will their glass have to correct their eyesight

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Since the nearsighted eye over converges light rays, the correction for nearsightedness is to place a diverging spectacle lens in front of the eye. This reduces the power of an eye that is too powerful.
