Choose the sentence that might be found in a personal narrative that correctly uses both a gerund and an infinitive.
Mumz [18]
Let's start with an infinitive: it has a form "to..." - only sentences C and D have a phrase like this, so we can exclude other options.

Among those, C does not have a gerund, which is a verbal form: "dreaming" has a function of a noun there.

So the correct answer is the remaining one, D.

What is the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle shown below?
BigorU [14]

The correct answer is A. 32.5

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force that is input into a machine to the force output.

Mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is calculated by dividing the radius of the wheel by that of the axle.

MA=R/r where R is the radius of the wheel and  r is the radius of the axle.

Substituting for the values in the question gives:

MA=26cm/0.8cm

    =32.5

What will be the change in velocity of a 850kg car if a force of 50,000 N
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

29.412m/s

Explanation:

F=ma where F= force, m= mass, and a=acceleration

we also know that,

a = Δv / t where Δv = change in velocity and t = time

thus F = m ( Δv / t)

50000=850(\frac{v}{0.5})

\frac{50000}{1700}= Δv

29.412m/s=Δv

The lightest and heaviest flying birds are the bee hummingbird of Cuba, which weighs about 1.6 grams, and the great bustard of E
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

for the birds to be able to stay vertical in flight without falling down to earth, they must produce a lift that will counteract their weight

for the small bee humming bird,

mass = 1.6 g = 1.6 x 10^{-3}  kg

weight of the bird under acceleration due to gravity = mg

where g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

weight of the bird = 1.6 x 10^{-3}  x 9.806 = 0.0156 ≅ 0.016 N

for this bird to maintain flight, the least lift upward, it must generate must be equal to its weight downwards, i.e

lift = weight

therefore,

lift = <em>0.016 N</em>

<em></em>

For the bustard of Europe and Asia,

mass = 21 kg

weight of the bird under acceleration due to gravity = mg

weight of the bird = 21 x 9.806 = 205.9 N

lift = weight =  <em>205.9 N</em>

<em></em>

<em>lift generated is proportional to the wing surface area according to the lift equation</em>

L = Cs x p x \frac{v}{2} x S

where L = lift

C = lift coefficient

p = density of air

v = relative velocity of bird and air

S = surface are of the wing.

<em>The great bustard will have a proportionally larger wing area to hold its weight in flight</em>
