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).

What does the geology of the two continents indicate about past events in Earth history?

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Rocks tell us a great deal about the Earth's history. Igneous rocks tell of past volcanic episodes and can also be used to age-date certain periods in the past. Sedimentary rocks often record past depositional environments (e.g deep ocean, shallow shelf, fluvial) and usually contain the most fossils from past ages.

When low on gasoline, is it better to increase or decrease the speed of the vehicle? Explain.

sergiy2304 [10]

Yeah!! It is better to decrease the speed of the vehicle so the ejection of gases would happen in slow manner.... then you can save your gasoline

Bowen’s reaction series illustrates relations between:

Finger [1]

C. Temperature, chemical composition and mineral structure

Explanation:

The Bowen's reaction series illustrates the relationship between temperature, chemical composition and mineral structure.

The series is made up of a continuous and discontinuous end through which magmatic composition can be understood as temperature changes.

The left part is the discontinuous end while the right side is the continuous series.
From the series, we understand that a magmatic body becomes felsic as it begins to cool to lower temperature.
A magma at high temperature is ultramafic and very rich in ferro-magnesian silicates which are the chief mineral composition of olivine and pyroxene. These minerals are predominantly found in mafic- ultramafic rocks. Also, we expect to find the calcic-plagioclase at high temperatures partitioned in the magma.
At a relatively low temperature, minerals with frame work structures begins to form . The magma is more enriched with felsic minerals and late stage crystallization occurs here.
