IMA = Ideal Mechanical Advantage
First class lever = > F1 * x2 = F2 * x1
Where F1 is the force applied to beat F2. The distance from F1 and the pivot is x1 and the distance from F2 and the pivot is x2
=> F1/F2 = x1 /x2
IMA = F1/F2 = x1/x2
Now you can see the effects of changing F1, F2, x1 and x2.
If you decrease the lengt X1 between the applied effort (F1) and the pivot, IMA decreases.
If you increase the length X1 between the applied effort (F1) and the pivot, IMA increases.
If you decrease the applied effort (F1) and increase the distance between it and the pivot (X1) the new IMA may incrase or decrase depending on the ratio of the changes.
If you decrease the applied effort (F1) and decrease the distance between it and the pivot (X1) IMA will decrease.
Answer: Increase the length between the applied effort and the pivot.
Air pressure pushing in on the balloon decreases as the balloon rises.
Answer: Alfred Wegener provided some of the important points that supported the theory of continental drift. They are as follows-
- The continents were once all attached together, and this can be proved by studying the coastlines of some of the continents that perfectly matches with one another.
- The appearance of similar rock types and similar fossils (including both animals and plants) has also contributed much information that continents were once all together.
Answer:

Explanation:
For the cat to stay in place on the merry go round without sliding the magnitude of maximum static friction must be equal to magnitude of centripetal force

Where the r is the radius of merry-go-round and v is the tangential speed
but

So we have

Substitute the given values
So
