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:

IMA=\frac{d_i}{d_o}

where:

d_i is the distance of the point of application of the input force from the fulcrum

d_o is the distance of the output force from the fulcrum

In this problem, we have:

d_o = 0.500 cm, since the fulcrum is 0.500 cm from the end

d_i = 24.0 cm - 0.500 cm = 23.5 cm (the distance between the fulcrum and the point where are we holding the screwdriver)

Substutiting,

IMA=\frac{23.50 cm}{0.50 cm}=47

Argon, atomic number 18, has an atomic weight of 39.9. Potassium, atomic number 19, has an atomic weight of 39.1. Which of these
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Atomic weight is measured by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Argon's atomic number is 18 while potassium's is 19. This means that Argon will always have 18 protons while potassium will always have 19 protons.

To make the numbers easier to work with, round each atomic weight. We'll say the atomic weight of potassium is 39 and the atomic weight of argon is 40. To see how many neutrons each one has, I can set up a simple equation for each using the following equation:

Atomic weight = protons + neutrons

Potassium:

39 = 19 + N  -->  N = 20

Argon:

40 = 18 + N  -->  N = 22

An atom is defined by the number of protons it has, but the number of neutrons can vary. We call these isotopes, or atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. As the math shows, argon typically has more neutrons per atom than potassium does.

What units must the constant G have in order for the u it’s F to be newtons (N)?
EleoNora [17]

The units for G must be [N][m^2][kg^{-2}]

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

F is the force

G is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

We know that:

  • The units of F are Newtons (N)
  • The units of m_1,m_2 are kilograms (kg)
  • The units of r are metres (m)

So, we can rewrite the equation in terms of G, to find its units:

G=\frac{Fr^2}{m_1 m_2}=\frac{[N][m]^2}{[kg][kg]}=[N][m^2][kg^{-2}]

klasskru [66]
Potential energy<span> is the </span>energy<span> that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position. It is calculated by the expression PE = mgh where mg is the weight of the book and h is the height. It is calculated as follows:

PE = 50(1) = 50 J
</span>PE = 50(1.5) = 75 J
PE = 50(2) = 100 J
