Answer:

distance from the applied force to the pivot point is greater than the

distance from the load point to the pivot point.

Efficiency will be increased

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage (MA) would be the ratio of of the distance from the applied force to the pivot point divided by the distance from the load point to the pivot point.

the advantage gained by the use of a mechanism in transmitting force specifically : the ratio of the force that performs the useful work of a machine to the force that is applied to the machine.

If the mechanical advantage is less than 1, then we will have to apply more force to get the same amount of force output.

<span>Answer: Gravity is most accurately described by the general theory of relativity (proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915) which describes gravity not as a force, but as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime caused by the uneven distribution of mass.</span>

A carbon-12 atom has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. How many protons does a carbon-14 atom have?

jenyasd209 [6]

Carbon-14 atom have 6 protons plus 8 neutrons.

Explanation

Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are examples of isotopes of carbon that have huge applications in the field of science.

Isotopes are those elements who have equal number of protons and electrons whereas their neutrons differ.

Therefore isotopes have same atomic number, as atomic number depends on number of protons or number of electrons whereas number of neutrons do not have a role in atomic number.

But mass numbers of isotopes are different as mass numbers depend on the number of protons and number of electrons.
