A fixed pulley changes the direction of the force on a rope or belt that moves along its circumference. Mechanical advantage is gained by combining a fixed pulley with a movable pulley or another fixed pulley of a different diameter. Movable: A movable pulley has an axle in a movable block.

How does the size of arctic foxes ears help to keep them warm in a cold environment

DochEvi [55]

artic foxes have thick white fur to keep them warm and also for camouflage in the snow they have small ears to keep the snow out of their ears so that they can hear better they also have thick fur lining and a thick pad on their feet this stops the paws from getting cold and they have short legs so then the body weight can be spread making it easier for the animal to not sink in the snow in the summer the artic fox turns brown to help make the fox invisible when people are hunting in the long grass

What is the difference between a cannabinoid and a trichome?

Sedbober [7]

Trichome density and type and cannabinoid content of leaves and bracts were quantitated during organ ontogeny for three clones of Cannabis sativa L. Trichome initiation and development were found to occur throughout leaf and bract ontogeny. On leaves, bulbous glands were more abundant than capitate-sessile glands for all clones, although differences in density for each gland type were evident between clones. On pistillate bracts, capitate-sessile glands were more abundant than the bulbous form on all clones, and both types decreased in relative density during bract ontogeny for each clone. The capitate-stalked gland, present on bracts but absent from vegetative leaves, increased in density during bract ontogeny. The capitate-stalked gland appeared to be initiated later than bulbous or capitate-sessile glands during bract development and on one clone it was first found midway in bract ontogeny. Nonglandular trichomes decreased in density during organ ontogeny, but the densities differed between leaves and bracts and also between clones. Specific regulatory mechanisms appear to exist to control the development of each trichome type independently.

A capacitor consists of two square plates, 8.7 cm on a side, separated by a 2.0 mm air gap. How much energy would be stored in t

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

122.84 J

Explanation:

Since plate is square, area, A is given by $(8.7/100)^{2}=0.007569m^{2}$

The distance between plates, d, is given in the question as 2mm=0.002m

Charge on plate, Q, as given in the question is 240 $\mu c$

Assuming mica dielectric constant, k of 7

Capacitance, C is given by

C= $\frac {k\epsilon_{o}A}{d}=\frac {(7)(8.85*10^{-12})(0.007569)}{0.002}=2.34*10*^{-10}F$

Stored energy, E is given by

E= $\frac {Q^{2}}{2C}=\frac {(240*10^{-6})^{2}}{2*(2.34*10^{-10})}=122.84J$

Therefore, the stored energy is 122.84 J

A child whose weight is 235 N slides down a 4.90 m playground slide that makes an angle of 37.0° with the horizontal. The coeffi

Basile [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) First, let's calculate the value of the Friction force, which is given by the formula:

Ff = u*W

As the Friction force has an X component, it would be:

Ff = u*m*g*cosФ

Where m*g is the weight of the child.

Solving for Ff:

Ff = 0.051 * 235cos37 = 9.57 N

Now, to get the energy transferred to thermal energy (or heat) we need to get the Work done, so:

Wf = Ff * d

Wf = 9.57 * 4.9 = 46.9 J

b) We need to get the downslope component of the child weight, which is:

Wy = 235sin37 = 141.43 N

As you can imagine, the gravity also does work, so:

Wg = Wy * d

Wg = 141.43 * 4.9 = 693 J

Now, let's get the kinetic energy, which can be obtained by this expression:

ΔKe = Wg - Wf

ΔKe = 693 - 46.9 = 646.1 J

The formula for kinetic energy is:

Ke = 1/2 m*V^2

We have the innitial speed which is 0.355 m/s, and the mass can be obtained by m*g so:

Fw= m*g ----> m = Fw/g

m = 235 / 9.8 = 23.97 kg

so the innitial energy is:

Ke = 1/2 * 23.97 * (0.355)^2

Ke = 1.51 J

This could be Ke1, so to get Ke2:

ΔKe = Ke2 - Ke1

Ke2 = Δke + Ke1

Ke2 = 646.1 + 1.51 = 647,61 J

Finally, the speed at the bottom would be:

v = √2Ke/m

v = √2*647.61/23.97

v = 7.35 m/s

An alpha particle(the nucleus of a helium atom) has a mass of 6.64*10^-27kg and a charge of +2e. What are the magnitude and dire

emmasim [6.3K]

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

Weight = electric force
mg = qE 

6.64x10^-27 x 9.81 = (2 x 1.60x10^-19) E
qE =mg,
E = mg/q = 6.64•10^-27•9.8/2•1.6•10^-19 =2.03•10^-7 V/m
