Answer:

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of the load and effort.

Mechanical advantage of a pulley is 1.

Explanation:  

A pulley system will help in reducing the effort when lifting a load. If more pulleys are used, less effort force is required, making the lifting easy.

When only one pulley is used to lift a load, the mechanical advantage is 1.

If the number of pulleys used are increased, less effort can be applied, as the mechanical advantage increases.

The mechanical advantage is equal to the number of ropes passing over the pulley or pulleys to which the load is attached.

The rope along which the effort is applied is not counted.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Any transparent surface in practical is neither a perfect absorber of electromagnetic waves neither a perfect reflector. Generally all the transparent surfaces reflect some amount of irradiation and the other parts are absorbed and transmitted.

<u>That is given by as relation:</u>

\alpha+\rho+\tau=1

where:

\alpha= absorptivity which is defined as the ratio of the absorbed radiation to the total irradiation

\rho= reflectivity is defined as the ratio of reflected radiation to the total irradiation

\tau= transmittivity is defined as the ratio of total transmitted radiation to the total irradiation

Why does the area around the equator stay about the same temperature year round?
Verdich [7]
Axial Tilt and Sun Energy

This axial tilt means that during the Earth's journey around the sun the poles receive varying amounts of sunlight. The equator, however, receives relatively consistent sunlight all year. The consistency of energy means the equator's temperature stays relatively constant all year.
