A man has an air conditioner he wants to load into the back of his truck. Instead of lifting the air conditioner and carrying it

to the truck, he improvises a ramp. He takes a board that is 3.6 meters long and places one end of it in the back of his truck, 1.2 meters off the ground. He leaves the other end of the board on the ground. He places the air conditioner on a dolly and pushes them both up the ramp and into the truck. What is the mechanical advantage of the ramp?

Answer:

Option B, 3.0

Explanation:

Basically , mechanical advantage help us is determining force that is required to pull up an object of certain weight over the ramp. It is a ratio and its general formula is

MA = \frac{L}{H}

Where L represents the length of  the inclined ramp and H represents the height of the inclined ramp

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

MA = \frac{3.6}{1.2} \\MA = 3.0

Hence , the mechanical advantage is 3.0

Option B is correct

Which of the following relationships is an example of a mutualism
puteri [66]
Mutualism- in which two different organisms interact, and each organism benefits each other (think "positive, positive"; or " +,+ "). An example would be Oxpeckers and zebras or rhinos - In this relationship, the oxpecker (a bird) lives on the zebra or rhino, sustaining itself by eating all of the bugs and parasites on the animal. The bird benefits by having a readily available source of food. The zebra or rhino benefits from having the bugs removed. Also, when there is a danger to the zebra or the rhino, the oxpecker flies high and makes much noise in order to alert nearby animals to the impending danger (i.e. a predator).

In a recessive disorder, a person will only have the disorder if they have one copy of the allele
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Since it's a recessive disorder that means the presence of the dominant allele will overshadow the recessive if it's present. Two recessive alleles have to be present in order for the person to have the disorder.
