Answer: The correct answer is "Number of rope segments supporting the load".

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage: It is defined as the ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied on the machine. The ideal mechanical advantage of a machines is mechanical advantage in the absence of friction.

The ideal mechanical advantage of a pulley system is equal to the number of rope segments which is supporting the load. More the rope segments, It is more helpful to do the lifting the work.

It means that less force is needed for this task to complete.

Therefore, the correct option is (C).

Answer:

Number of rope segments supporting the load.

Explanation:

In general the mechanical advantage of any simple machine is defined as the ratio of output force to the input force. It is also defined as the ratio of input arm distance to the output arm distance.

But in case of pulley, the ideal mechanical advantage is equal to the number of rope segments supporting the load. Hence, the correct option is (c).

I'm not sure about the rest but for question 2:

A theory is an attempt to come up with a big picture of all we know so far. It also drives future research as people do experiments to see if what the theory predicts actually happens. When experiments don’t support the theory, you have to change the theory and try again. That’s how science works. We come up with a “best guess” (theory), and then do research to test it’s accuracy. As we discover contradictions, we adjust the theory to take those into account, and then start testing the validity of the new theory.

3 protons x 1.0073amu = 3.022 
4 neutrons x 1.0087amu = 4.035 

mass = 7.0567amu 
mass defect = 7.0567 - 7.0144 = 0.0423amu.....B with your mass of Li

Answer:

C) Put the brick as far from the hinges as possible

Explanation:

As torque is the product of the force around the rotation point and the distance to the pivot point, and the mass (force) of the brick stays constant, what we can do to maximize the torque is maximize the distance to the pivot point, aka the hinge. So we should put the brick as far from the hinges as possible.
