Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. 8 m, because he has to apply less force over a greater distance

Explanation:

In the given question, in order for the student to lift the boxes onto the tuck with less amount of force, he applies the principle of Mechanical Advantage

The mechanical advantage is given by the measure by which a force is amplified through the use of a tool

Given that the work done = The force × The distance, we have

F₁ × d₁ = F₂ × d₂, which gives;

d₁/d₂ = F₂/F₁

Where;

F₁ = The input force

F₂ = The output force

d₁ = The input distance

d₂ = The output distance

The Mechanical advantage, MA = d₁/d₂ = F₂/F₁

Therefore, when the input distance is increased the input force will be reduced for a given output force

There would be more - charges on the peanuts because they gain electrons which are represented with the - sign. There would also be more + on the cat to show that the cat’s fur is positively charged. The peanuts would be attracted to the cat because opposite charges attract.

As for explaining the first model, there should be the same amount of + and - charges on the peanuts as well as the cat to show that it is balanced and the peanuts are not attracted or repelled by the cat.
