Explanation :

There are many types of simple machines i.e. lever, wedge, pulley, wheel and axle etc.

Fulcrum is the pivot point about which the lever turns. When the position of the fulcrum is shifted, the position of effort changes.

There are three classes of the lever as class 1, class 2 and class 3.

Class 1 includes seesaws and scissors.

class 2 includes wheelbarrow

class 3 includes tongs and tweezers.

What properties does a gas have in terms of shape and volume

insens350 [35]

Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences.

Microscopic view of a gas Microscopic view of a liquid. Microscopic view of a solid.
Microscopic view of a gas. Microscopic view of a liquid. Microscopic view of a solid.
Note that:

Particles in a:
gas are well separated with no regular arrangement.
liquid are close together with no regular arrangement.
solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
Particles in a:
gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds.
liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.
solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.
Liquids and solids are often referred to as condensed phases because the particles are very close together.
The following table summarizes properties of gases, liquids, and solids and identifies the microscopic behavior responsible for each property.

An 8.0 m, 240 N uniform ladder rests against a smooth wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground

sweet [91]

Answer:

5.7 m

Explanation:

AD = length of the ladder = L = 8 m

AB = distance of the center of mass of the ladder = (0.5) L = (0.5) 8 = 4 m

AC = distance of person on the ladder from the bottom end = x

W = weight of the ladder = 240 N

$F_{g}$ = weight of the person = 710 N

F = force by the wall on the ladder

N = normal force by ground on the ladder = ?

Using equilibrium of force along the vertical direction

N = $F_{g}$ + W

N = 710 + 240

N = 950 N

μ = Coefficient of static friction = 0.55

f =static frictional force on the ladder

Static frictional force is given as

f = μ N

f = (0.55) (950)

f = 522.5 N

Force equation along the horizontal direction is given as

F = f

F = 522.5 N

using equilibrium of torque about point A

F Sin50 (AD) = W Cos50 (AB) + ( $F_{g}$ Cos50 (AC))

(522.5) Sin50 (8) = (240) Cos50 (4) + (710) Cos50 (x)

x = 5.7 m

A long, straight wire of radius R carries a steady current I that is uniformly distributed through the cross section of the wire

vitfil [10]

Answer:

When $r \ge R$

$B = \frac{ \mu_o * I}{ 2 \pi r }$

When $r< R$

$B = [\frac{\mu_o * I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius is R

The current is I

The distance from the center

Ampere's law is mathematically represented as

$B[2 \pi r] = \mu_o * \frac{I r^2 }{R^2 }$

$B = \frac{ \mu_o}{2 \pi } * \frac{r}{R^2}$

When $r \ge R$

=> $B = \frac{ \mu_o * I}{ 2 \pi r }$

But when $r< R$

$B = [\frac{\mu_o * I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r$

What is time and speed and acceleration

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.Acceleration occurs anytime an object's speed increases or decreases, or it changes direction. Much like velocity, there are two kinds of acceleration: average and instantaneous. Average acceleration is determined over a "long" time interval.

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

If an object has a high density then the molicules making up that object are closly packed togeather. Because of this, objects with a higher density will have more mass than objects of the same size that have a lesser density.
