A machine with a 5-N input force and a 25-N output force has a mechanical advantage of?

1 answer:

8 0

So we want to know the mechanical advantage of a machine that has 5 N input force and 25 N out force. Mechanical advantage Ma is the measure of force amplification of some machine. We calculate it by taking the ratio of the output force Fo over the input force Fi. Ma=Fo/Fi=(25 N)/(5 N)=5. So Mechanical advantage for our machine is Ma=5 and the correct answer is the second one.

ASHA 777 [7]

The short answer to how the aurora happens is that energetic electrically charged particles (mostly electrons) accelerate along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off light.

nalin [4]

Answer:

The amount of water entering the earth through precipitation is equal to the amount of water leaving earth through transpiration.

Explanation:

Rates of precipitation and evaporation vary widely according to regions and seasons. But in a global scale the rates are equal. Thus the total amount of earth’s water maintains its constancy even though there is a continuous change in forms of water.

Evaporation and transpiration are the forms in which Water leaves the earth and it returns to the earth in various forms of precipitation like rain, snow, dew, fog etc. This water then reaches ocean and land. The water that reaches the land flows as surface run off into rivers and water bodies or seep into the ground replenishing the ground water table.
