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

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Engine is very much similar to the muscular system in a car.

Explanation:

The system is made up of the tissues which work with skeltal system to control the movement  of the body is called Muscular System. In a car the engine is very much similar to the muscular system. They both help their systems to move. Without them the car or body would not going to operate.Like the human body car parts are also specialised & perform specific tasks, but they all depend on each other.Many would compare the engine of the car with heart of human body.The heart is the engine of the body just like the car. Our brain is very much similar to the the car's computer system or CPU.Every car  is powered by an engine and most cars use an internal combustion engine which runs on gasoline.A car's overall power is a function of the size of engine as well as the factors such as timing of combustion and the type of transmission used.

VashaNatasha [74]
<span>Pond organism is unicellular and crab is multi cellular.

The simplest level at which life exist is called the cell. Unicellular organism contain only one cell while multi cellular organisms contain more than one cell. Multi cellular organisms can be organized into various levels such as Cells>tissues> organs>organ systems> organism. Thus pond organism is unicellular under microscope and crab is multi cellular.</span>

Why are so many foods advertised as non-fat and cholesterol-free?
gtnhenbr [62]
This is because food with high content of saturated day and cholesterol can cause different diseases, and to promote that the food is healthy, food advertisers state that their food is non-fat and cholesterol-free.

A common disease is caused because of the high intake of fatty food and food that has high levels of cholesterol, is Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). It is where the coronary artery is blocked by fatty plaques or blood clots. In this way, blood flow to the heart muscles is decreased or even cut off. This may lead to the damage of the cells and eventually the heart may not function.
