Levers overcome a resistance when a force is applied. They have a fixed support to which they freely turn, called the fulcrum. In some levers, it is possible to increase speed by applying the force over a shorter distance than the resistance is moved. A proportional increase of force is needed for this.

It's a simple machine, consisting of a rigid bar that rotates about a fixed point which is known as "Fulcrum" (most important part), It <span>affects the effort, or force and do the amount of work

Hope this helps!</span>

If voltage , V = 100 + 6 volt and current , I = 10+ 0.2 A , then find <br> percentage error in R.
Akimi4 [234]

Explanation:

As we know, resistance is the ratio of voltage used and current flowing through the circuit. So,

<h3>R = V/I</h3>

By error calculation

<h3>∆R/R = [(∆V/V)100] + [(∆I/I)100]</h3>

V = 100 ± 6% V

I = 10 ± 0.2% A

∆R/R= (5/100)×100 + (0.2/10)×100

∆R/R=5+2=7%

<h2>So, percentage error in resistance (R) = ± 7%.</h2>

1. Briefly Explain why sliding friction is less than static friction.
stellarik [79]

Explanation:

No surface is perfectly smooth.  Everything has irregularities, like bumps and ridges.  Static friction is the friction between non-moving objects when their surfaces lock together.  When an object is sliding, its surface skips and jumps along the surface of the other object.  Because there's less locking between the surfaces, the sliding friction is less than the static friction.

14 gauge copper wire has a diameter of 1.6 mm. what length of this wire has a resistance of 4.8ω?
Vladimir79 [104]
The relationship between resistance R and resistivity \rho is
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
where L is the length of the wire and A its cross section.

The radius of the wire is half the diameter:
r= \frac{d}{2}= \frac{1.6 mm}{2}=0.8 mm=8\cdot 10^{-4} m
and the cross section is
A=\pi r^2 = \pi (8\cdot 10^{-4} m)^2=2.01\cdot 10^{-6} m^2

From the first equation, we can then find the length of the wire when R=4.8 \Omega (copper resistivity: \rho = 1.724 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m)
L= \frac{AR}{\rho}= \frac{(2.01\cdot 10^{-6} m^2)(1.724 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m)}{4.8 \Omega}=7.21 \cdot 10^{-15} m

Explain how sharpening a knife changes is MA (mechanical advantage).
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Sharpening a knife reduces it's height as a wedge thus giving it more efficiency.

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage refers to the degree or quantity to which a force is increased or amplified by using a tool or a machine.

Mechanical Advantage can be calculated as follows:

Lenght of Incline (LI) / Height of Incline (HI)

Assume I have constructed a hedge with an inclination that run 10 meters from point x to point y (which is the back of a truck. Point y to the floor is 5 meters.

If   LI = 10m and

HI= 5m

The mechanical advantage is given as 10/5 = 2

The angle of incline is also called the effort distance. From our calculations above, by sacrificing horizontal movement, I reduced the amount of effort it would have cost to lift up that object from ground up -  a distance of 5 meters.

Think of a knife as a form of a similar wedge.

The more a knife is sharpening of a knife further reduces its angle of elevation. Thats why it becomes more efficient to use, hence our mechanical advantage.

Cheers
