<u>Answer: </u>

C option is  correct

20 movable and 20 fixed pulleys required

<u>Explanation: </u>

To lift a 27,800 N elephant with a 700 N drive,  

27800/700=39.7  

the individual requires a mechanical favorable position of 39.7 which is equivalent to 40. A solitary movable pulley gives a mechanical favorable position of 2, two portable pulleys yield a mechanical preferred standpoint of 4, and a framework with three movable pulleys results in a mechanical favorable position of 6. In light of this example, 20 movable pulleys and 20 fixed are required to give a mechanical preferred standpoint of 40

Answer:

C. 20fixed, 20moveables

Explanation:

Efficiency of a machine = MA/VR × 100%

MA is the mechanical advantage

VR is the velocity ratio of the pulley

MA = Load/Effort

MA = 27,800N/700N

MA = 39.71

The velocity ratio formula depends on the type of machine. Since the machine in question is a block and tackle system, the velocity ratio will be the number of pulleys in the system.

Using the efficiency formula to get the VR

100 = 39.71/VR × 100

39.71/VR = 1

VR = 39.71

VR = 40(approximately)

This means that the minimum number of pulleys that the person will require to lift the load is 40pulleys i.e 20fixed, 20moveables

In order to solve this problem, we will first need to find the electric field at the origin without the 3rd charge

E1 = (9x10^9)(13.4x10^-9)/(9.4x10^-2)^2 = 13648.7 V/m towards the negative y-axis

E2 = (9x10^9)(4.23x10^-9)/(4.99x10^-2)^2 = 15289.1 V/m towards the positive x-axis

The red arrow shows the direction of which the electric field points.

To make the electric field at the origin 0, we must find a location where q3 = the magnitude of q1 and q2

Etotal = sqrt(E1+E2) = 20494.97 V/m

E3 = 20494.97 = (9x10^9)(14.23x10^-9)/(d)^2

d = 0.079 m = 7.9 cm

The different between capactance wnd capacitor
velikii [3]

Answer:

The parallel plate capacitor is the simplest form of capacitor. ... The property of a capacitor to store charge on its plates in the form of an electrostatic field is called the Capacitance of the capacitor. Not only that, but capacitance is also the property of a capacitor which resists the change of voltage across it.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

 "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

Explanation:

If he writes down "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

That means he is describing the wavelength of a wave and not longitudinal wave. He ought to write something about " direction "

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or parallel to, the direction of propagation of the wave. While

Wavelength is the distance between the two successfully Crest or trough
