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?
A)
2.5
B)
3.0
C)
4.32
D)
4.8

B) 3.0

The mechanical advantage of the ramp is  3.6 /1.2  or 3.0. MA of a ramp is length/height.

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

Describe the passage of a meal containing bread through your digestive system
Alex777 [14]

Before your food passes from the mouth and down your esophagus, salivary amylase, an enzyme in saliva, begins to digest the starch in your bread. That is the start of chemical digestion. ... The passage of the bolus through the esophagus to the stomach occurs by peristalsis, a series of wave-like muscle contractions.

When acetylcholine binds to receptors at the motor end plate, the end plate membrane becames:__________a. repolarized. b. more p
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

d. more permeable to sodium ions.

Explanation:

The binding of Acetylcholine  with the receptors at  motor end plate facilitate   membrane permeability to sodium ions therefore  opening of voltage gated channels for sodium ions.

Sodium ions diffused into the synapse of post synaptic neuron at the neuromuscular junction.

If  the  stimulus is up to threshold levels; more chemical(neurotransmitter) gated sodium channels opens, and sodium ions move into the  synapse to depolarize the membrane with  reversal of charges to generate action potential.

The continuous  binding of Acetycholine , leads to permanent opening of sodium ions,and over excitation from depolarization.  Acetycholinesterase enzymes breakdown Acetycholine to choline  and Acetyl Co -A. These are recycle back to Acetycholiine

Which of the following statements are not true about the fossil record
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Older fossils tend to lay in the lower levels of the ground. The further up the fossils are, the more likely you are to find something that looks like today. Think of it as stacking papers with different drawings on them from different ages. Oldest goes on the bottom, newest goes on the top. The older layer stands as more of a foundation point while newer layers are around where we are now.

Which best describes a difference between transcription and DNA replication?
Akimi4 [234]

Both transcription and DNA replication are essential and significant genetic mechanisms.

Transcription is a process where the genetic material i.e. DNA  is getting converted or transcribed to RNA by an enzyme RNA polymerase.

Whereas the DNA replication is a process where, doubling or copying of DNA  from original DNA (identical replica copies). Which is the basis for biological inheritance.
