Answer: 4

The mechanical advantage is the ratio of the force exerted  by the object to the force applied to do work on it.

Here, Jeff tried to lift a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging board under the rock. Jeff who weighs 150 pounds uses all his weight to exert force on lever and lift rock.

Mechanical advantage, M.A.=\frac{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}rock}{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}Jeff}=\frac{600 pounds}{150 pounds}=4.

Therefore, the mechanical advantage that lever provided to Jeff in lifting rock is 4.

Answer: 4

The lever enabled Jeff to lift 600 pounds with merely 150 pounds.
By definition, the mechanical advantage is 600/150 = 4.

According to ____, the ability to detect a stimulus depends not only on the intensity of the stimulus but also on other variable
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Signal detection theory

Explanation:

Signal detection theory states that stimulus ca be detected according to its intensity and a person's psychological and/or physical state. This means that we can notice things according to how strong they are but also, a person's characteristics like experience and physiological state like fatigue can affect the ability to detect them.

Because of this, the answer is that according to signal detection theory, the ability to detect a stimulus depends not only on the intensity of the stimulus but also on other variables such as the level of noise in the system and your expectations.
