Here we deal with a lever law. It states that product of force and distance from a fixed point on a lever is equal on both sides.

F₁*d₁ = F₂*d₂

By analysing this formula we can see that applying small force on a great length equals great force on a small length.
To remove nail we need to apply certain force. If we use F₁ for this required force we can see that on other side we need to apply certain force. If we have greater arm length we need smaller force. In a crowbar arm length along which we apply force is greater than length of our arm. This leads to a conclusion that we need smaller force when using crowbar. Depending on the length of a nail it is possible that we need to apply force that is greater than force required to remove nail.

We decided to make an iced latte by adding ice to a 200 mL hot latte at 45 °C. The ice starts out at 0 C. How much ice do we nee
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

m = 77.75 g

Explanation:

Here we know that at equilibrium the temperature of the system will be 10 degree C

so heat given by hot latte = heat absorbed by the ice

now we have

heat given by latte = m s\Delta T

Q_1 = (200)(4.186)(45 - 10)

Q_1 = 29302 J

now heat absorbed by ice is given as

Q_2 = mL + ms\Delta T

Q_2 = m(335 + 4.186(10 - 0))

Q_2 = m(376.86)

now by heat balance we have

Q_1 = Q_2

29302 = m(376.86)

m = 77.75 g

Question 4 How much time does it take to walk 8 km north at a velocity of 3.8 km/h?​
IrinaVladis [17]

Given parameters:

Displacement = 8km

Velocity  = 3.8km/h

Unknown:

time  = ?

Solution:

Velocity is displacement divided by time.

  Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}  

      Displacement  = velocity x time

Input the parameters:

              8  = 3.8  x time

 Time  = \frac{8}{3.8}   = 2.1s

The time taken is 2.1s

What characteristics do atoms of carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14 have in common? 1. same number of electrons 2. same number
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The most common of these is carbon 12, 13, 14. All of these isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. Carbon has the atomic number of 6 which means that all isotopes have the same proton number. However, the number of neutrons is different, thus giving different mass numbers.
