Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

Input effort is 15N

Fi = 15N

Output effort is 60N

Fo = 60N

Then,

Mechanical advantage(M•A) is the ratio of two forces, and it is also referred to has force ratio.

M•A = Output Force / Input Force

M•A = Fo / Fi

M•A = 60 / 15

M•A = 4

The mechanical advantage is 4

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is given as a ratio of the force a machines gives out to the force that it receives.

Simply put, it is the ratio of output force to input force:

$MA = \frac{OF}{IF}$

We are given that:

OF = 60 N

IF = 15 N

Hence, the Mechanical Advantage of the lever is:

$MA = \frac{60}{15} \\\\\\MA = 4$

It is a ratio so it has no unit.

You are exploring a distant planet. When your spaceship is in a circular orbit at a distance of 630 km above the planet's surfac

Anarel [89]

Answer:

$R = 24.3 m$

Explanation:

As we know that the orbital speed is given as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h}}$

here we know that

v = 5500 m/s

$R = 4.48 \times 10^6 m$

$h = 630 km$

now we have

$5500 = \sqrt{\frac{(6.6 \times 10^{-11})M}{4.48 \times 10^6 + 6.30\times 10^5}}$

$M = 2.34 \times 10^24 kg$

now acceleration due to gravity of planet is given as

$a = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

$a = \frac{(6.6 \times 10^{-11})(2.34 \times 10^{24})}{(4.48\times 10^6)^2}$

$a = 7.7 m/s^2$

now range of the projectile on the surface of planet is given as

$R = \frac{v^2 sin2\theta}{g}$

$R = \frac{14.6^2 sin(2\times 30.8)}{7.7}$

$R = 24.3 m$

A shaving or makeup mirror is designed to magnify your face by a factor of 1.40 when your face is placed 20.0cm in front of it

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

(a) convex mirror

(b) virtual and magnified

Explanation:

The having mirror is convex mirror.

distance of object, u = - 20 cm

magnification, m = 1.4

(a) As the image is magnified and virtual , so the mirror is convex in nature.

(b) The image is virtual and magnified.

Use the formula of magnification.

$m =-\frac{v}{u}\\1.4=-\frac{v}{-20}\\v =28 cm$

Use the mirror equation, let the focal length is f.

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{28}+\frac{1}{20}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{28+20}{560}\\f=11.67cm$

Radius of curvature, R = 2 f = 2 x 11.67 = 23.3 cm

I which types of galaxy are globular clusters most likely to be found?

NemiM [27]

Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, which gives them their spherical shapes and relatively high stellar densities toward their centers. The name of this category of star cluster is derived from the Latin globulus—a small sphere.
