A 24.0 cm long screwdriver is used as a lever to open a can of paint. If the fulcrum is 0.500 cm away from the end of the screwd
1 answer:
The ideal mechanical advantage of the screwdriver is 47
Explanation:
In this problem, the screwdriver acts as a lever.
The Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) of a lever is given by:
where:
is the distance of the point of application of the input force from the fulcrum
is the distance of the output force from the fulcrum
In this problem, we have:
, since the fulcrum is 0.500 cm from the end
(the distance between the fulcrum and the point where are we holding the screwdriver)

Answer:
a) [volts] = [N m / C],
b) The lines or surface that has the same potential are called equipotential
c) the equipotential lines must also be perpendicular to the electric field lines
Explanation:
a) find the units of the volt
the electric potential energy is
V = k q / r
V = [N m² / C²] C / m
V = [N m / C]
The electric potential is defined as
V = E .s
V = [N / C] [m]
V = [N m / C] = [volt]
we see that in the two expressions the same result is obtained therefore the volt is
[volts] = [N m / C]
b) The lines or surface that has the same potential are called equipotential surfaces, the great utility of these lines or surfaces is that a face can be displaced on it without doing work.
c) The electric potential is defined as the gradient of the electric field
v =
therefore the equipotential lines must also be perpendicular to the electric field lines
