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.

The human eye can readily detect wavelengths from about 400 nm to 700 nm. If white light illuminates a diffraction grating havin

Answer:

The range of angles is from 17.50° to 31.76°

Explanation:

The diffraction grid equation is as follows:

$dsen\theta=m\lambda$

Clearing for $\theta$

$sen\theta=\frac{m\lambda}{d}$

$\theta=sen^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})$

where $\theta$ is the angle, $m$ is the order, in this case $m=1$ , $\lambda$ is the wavelength, and $d$ is defined as follows:

$d=\frac{1}{resolution}$

and since the resolution is 750 lines/mm wich is the same as $750lines/1x10^{-3}m$

$d$ will be:

$d=\frac{1}{750lines/1x10^{-3}m}=\frac{1x10^{-3}m}{750lines}=1.33x10^{-6}m$

wich is the distance between each line of the diffraction grating.

substituting the values for $m$ and $d$ :

$\theta=sen^{-1}(\frac{(1)\lambda}{(1.33x10^{-6}m)})$

And we need to find two angle values: one for when the wavelength is 400nm and one for when it is 700 nm. So we will get the angle range

$\theta=sen^{-1}(\frac{(400x10^{-9})}{(1.33x10^{-6}m)})=17.50$

and

$\theta=sen^{-1}(\frac{(700x10^{-9})}{(1.33x10^{-6}m)})=31.76$

The range of angles is from 17.50° to 31.76°

Give an example of the of conservation of momentum

seropon [69]

Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different. This phenomenon is explained by the conservation of energy and conservation of momentum.

Law of Conservation of energy states the total energy of an isolated system remains constant.

law of conservation of momentum states that in a closed system the total momentum is constant.

<span>In refraction, when a medium changes, the phase velocity also changes but its frequency does not; it remains constant. </span>

A proton has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of -1350 V. What is the proton's kinetic energy, in elect

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

1 eV = 1.60 * 10^-19 J work done in accelerating electron thru 1 V

KE (total energy) = 1350 ^ 1 eV (note proton goes from + to -)

KE = 1.60 * 10^-19 * 1350 = 2.16 * 10^-16 Joules

1/2 m v^2 = KE = 2.16 * 10^-16 J

v^2 = 4.32 * 10E-16 / 1.67 * 10-27 = 2.59 * 10^11

v = 5.09 * 10^5 m/s

Answer:

it travels at a different refractive index.

Explanation:

for example when light travels into water, it slows down, causing it to continue to travel at a different or another angle or direction. hope this helped!
