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.

Answer:

Diffusion is the movement of a molecule from an area where the molecule is in high concentration to an area where the molecule is in low concentration. Facilitated diffusion is the movement of a molecule from an area of high concentration to an area where the molecule is in low concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion (high to low concentration) of water through a semi-permeable membrane. Water moves from an area of high water molecule concentration (and lower solute concentration) to an area of low concentration (and higher solute concentration.

Collect information about working of Geyser and prepare a report
ikadub [295]
A geyser is actually a devise that coverts electrical energy into heat energy for heating up water. The heating element that is inside the geyser actually gets heated up and then in turn it heats the water in contact with it within the geyser. There is also a thermostat device within the geyser that cuts off the heating when the water temperature reaches the desired level. This helps in stopping of electrical energy loss. One inlet brings in cold water while another outlet gets rid of the hot water. When the temperature of the water falls below the desired level the heating is again started by the thermostat.
