Explanation:

Because they change the direction of force and multiply the effort.

They increase the rate of doing work.

So, MA of first class lever can be one or greater than one or less than one

There are three kinds of levers:

1) First Class Lever -- the effort and the load on either side of the fulcrum. Some examples would be a crowbar or a seesaw. The effort is only less than the load if the load is closer to the fulcrum. The lever then acts as a force magnifier and the mechanical advantage is greater than one. If the effort is closer to the fulcrum, then the effort is larger than the load and the mechanical advantage is less than one. In this case the lever acts as a movement magnifier.

2) Second Class Lever -- the load is between the fulcrum and the effort. An example is a nutcracker or a wheelbarrow. This type of lever always acts as a force magnifier and its mechanical advantage is greater than one.

3) Third Class Lever -- the effort is between the load and the fulcrum. An example is a pair of sugar tongs. This is a movement magnifier which means its mechanical advantage is less than one. The load moves more than the effort. (When you use sugar tongs, a small movement of the fingertips makes the jaws of the tongs move a lot

Public television station KQED in San Francisco broadcasts a sinusoidal radio signal at a power of 777 kW. Assume that the wave
ehidna [41]

Answer:

A) P = 3.3 × 10^(-11) Pa

B) Amplitude of electric field = 1.931 N/C

Amplitude of magnetic field = 6.44 × 10^(-9) T

C) μ_av = 1.65 × 10^(-11) J/m³

D) 50% each for the electric and magnetic field

Explanation:

A) First of all let's calculate intensity.

I = P_av/A

We are given;

P_av = 777 KW = 777,000 W

Distance = 5 km = 5000 m

Thus;

I = 777000/(2π × 5000²)

I = 0.00495 W/m²

Now, the average pressure would be given by the formula;

P = 2I/C

Where C is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

P = (2 × 0.00495)/(3 × 10^(8))

P = 3.3 × 10^(-11) Pa

B) Formula for the amplitude of the electric field is gotten from;

E_max = √[2I/(εo•c)].

Where εo is the Permittivity of free space with a constant value of 8.85 × 10^(−12) c²/N.mm²

I and c remain as before.

Thus;

E_max = √[(2 × 0.00495)/(8.85 × 10^(−12) × 3 × 10^(8))]

E_max = √3.72881355932

E_max = 1.931 N/C

Formula for amplitude of magnetic field is gotten from;

B_max = E_max/c

B_max = 1.931/(3 × 10^(8))

B_max = 6.44 × 10^(-9) T

C) Formula for average density is;

μ_av = εo(E_rms)²

Now, E_rms = E_max/√2

Thus;

E_rms = 1.931/√2

μ_av = 8.85 × 10^(−12) × (1.931/√2)²

μ_av = 1.65 × 10^(-11) J/m³

D) The energy density for the electric and magnetic field is the same. So both of them will have 50% of the energy density.

DIA [1.3K]
The rubber ducky was able to float because it’s density was less than the water. Water has a density of 1, meaning the rubber ducky must have a density lower than 1.

A child holds up a silver spoon and is surprised to see her reflection there.
olga55 [171]
The answer to your question is B. When light hits something relatively flat, smooth and shiny, it is reflected by the surface, allowing nearby objects to be seen on the surface.
