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.

Air temperature in a desert can reach 58.0°C (about 136°F). What is the speed of sound (in m/s) in air at that temperature?

Veronika [31]

The approximate speed of sound in dry (0% humidity) air, in meters per second, at temperatures near 0 °C, can be calculated from

$c_{air} = (331.3+0.606 \upsilon)$

Here

$\upsilon =$ Temperature in Celsius

Replacing with our values we have that

$\upsilon=58\° C$

$c_{air} = (331.3+0.606*58)$

$c_{air} = 366.1m/s$

Therefore the speed of sound in air at that temperature is 366.1m/s

Answer:

The x component of the resultant force is -7.27N.

Explanation:

To obtain the x component of the resultant force, first we have to know the x components of the other forces. To do this, we just have to do some trigonometry:

$|F_{1x}|=|F_1|\cos\theta_1=9.20N\cos62.0\°=4.31N \\|F_{2x}|=|F_2|\cos\theta_2=5.00N\cos53.6\°=2.96N$

Since both vectors are in the left side of the y-axis, they have a negative x component. So:

$F_{1x}=-4.31N;\\F_{2x}=-2.96N$

Finally, we sum both components to obtain the component of the resultant force:

$F_{Rx}=-4.31N-2.96N=-7.27N$

In words, the x component of the resultant force is -7.27N.

As the core collapses, the outer layers of the star are expelled. A planetary nebula is formed by the outer layers. The core remains as a white dwarf and eventually cools to become a black dwarf. ... Like low-mass stars, high-mass stars are born in nebulae and evolve and live in the Main Sequence

hydrogen shell burning - outer layers swell. Red Giant Branch - helium ash core compresses - increased hydrogen shell burning. First Dredge Up - expanding atmosphere cools star - stirs carbon, nitrogen and oxygen upward - star heats up.
