Why is the mechanical advantage of a bottle opener always greater than 1?

1 answer:

6 0

For a lever, the mechanical advantage is the ratio of the lever arms. Since the lever arm of the opener is always greater than that of the output arm, the mechanical advantage is greater than 1.

Calculate the current through a 3.0 Ď‰ resistor with a voltage of 9.0 v across it.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer: 3 A

Explanation:

According to<u> Ohm's law</u>:

$V=R.I$

Where:

$V=9 V$ is the voltage

$R=3\Omega$ is the resistance of the resistor

$I$ is the electric current (the value we want to find)

Isolating $I$ :

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

$I=\frac{9 V}{3\Omega}$

Finally:

$I=3 A$

A parcel of land is in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The base has a length of 425 ft.; the other sides, which are of equal

kogti [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 636.6 ft

Explanation:

Data

base = 425 ft

angle = 39°

See the picture below

1.- Divide the triangle to get two right triangles.

Now the superior angle will measure 19.5° and the opposite side will measure 212.5 ft

2.- Use the trigonometric function sine to find the hypotenuse

sin 19.5 = 212.5/hyp

solve for hyp

hyp = 212.5 / sin 19.5

Result

hyp = 212.5/ 0.333

hyp = 636.6 ft

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Hence the answer is E inside $= KQr_{1} /R^{3}$ .

Explanation:

E inside $= KQr_{1} /R^{3}$

so if r1 will be the same then

E $\begin{bmatrix}Blank Equation\end{bmatrix}$ proportional to 1/R3

so if R become 2R

E becomes 1/8 of the initial electric field.
