A pulley has a mechanical advantage of 1.

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

There is no mechanical advantage

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage is possible only when the force needed to lift a load is lesser than the weight of the load.

For example, is we have a mechanical advantage of 2, the force needed to lift will be 1/2 of the weight of the load, and if we have a mechanical advantage of 4, the force needed will be 1/4 of the weight of the load.

In the attached image there are clear examples of mechanical advantage with pulleys.

A water heater warms 35 l of water from a temperature of 22.7 c to a temperature of 83.7

fgiga [73]

The amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of a substance by $\Delta T$ is given by
$Q=m C_s \Delta T$
where
m is the mass of the substance
$C_s$ is its specific heat capacity
$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature

The water volume is $V=35 L= 35 dm^3 = 0.035 m^3$ , since its density is $d=1000 kg/m^3$ , the mass of this sample of water is
$m=dV=(1000 kg/m^3)(0.035 m^3)=35 kg$

The water specific heat capacity is $C_s = 4.18 kJ/kg ^{\circ}C$

and the increase in temperature is $\Delta T=83.7 ^{\circ}C-22.7 ^{\circ}C=61^{\circ}C$

Therefore, the amount of energy needed is
$Q=mC_s \Delta T=(35 kg)(4.18 kJ/kg ^{\circ}C)(61^{\circ}C)=8924 kJ = 8.92 \cdot 10^6 J$

Answer:

The representation of a chemical reaction in the form of substances is known as a chemical equation. The equation in which the number of atoms of all the molecules is equal on both sides of the equation is known as a balanced chemical equation.

The Law of conservation of mass governs the balancing of a chemical equation.

According to this law, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction and obeying this law total mass of the elements or molecules present on the reactant side should be equal to the total mass of elements or molecules present on the produc
