Yes, this is true. Van de Graaff generators are devices that produce static this electricity right now.

Yes, that is true. Van de Graaff generators are devices that produce static electricity. Static does not involve acceleration, meaning it is motionless which applies to the building of electric charges since the building up of these electric charges are created in a way to not move. Therefore, the sentence you have stated is an accurate statement.

Let me know if you need anything else. :)

If you wanted to know how big a tiger is, which measurements would you use?

valina [46]

Answer:

meter, kilogram

Explanation:

Here we want to know how big the tiger is. This means that we want to measure its size and possibly its mass.

The size is actually a measure of the length of the tiger, and length is measured in meters.

The mass of an object, instead, is a measure of the "amount of matter" in the substance, and it is measured in kilograms.

The other options are wrong because:

- The second is the unit of time

- The candela is the unit of the luminous intensity

- The mole is the unit of the amount of substance, and it is used for gases

- The ampere is the unit of the current

Based on the law of conservation of energy, how can we reasonably improve a machine’s ability to do work?

kifflom [539]

Based on the law of conservation of energy, we know that we can't create energy, machines can only convert one type of energy into another. So, if we want to improve a machines's ability then we need to reduce it's loss energy (part of energy which is useless). Out of all the options only Option C fits best with it.

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!

Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units and points in the positive x direction. A second vector, B , has a magnitude of 120 units a

Alex Ar [27]

A) Vector A

The x-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

$v_x = v cos \theta$

where

v is the magnitude of the vector

$\theta$ is the angle between the x-axis and the direction of the vector

- Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so $\theta_A = 0^{\circ}$ . So its x-component is

$A_x = A cos \theta_A = (50) cos 0^{\circ}=50$

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is $\theta_B = -70^{\circ}$ (negative since it is below the x-axis), so the x-component is

$B_x = B cos \theta_B = (120) cos (-70^{\circ})=41$

So, vector A has the greater x component.

B) Vector B

Instead, the y-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

$v_y = v sin \theta$

Here we have

- Vector B has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so $\theta_A = 0^{\circ}$ . So its y-component is

$A_y = A sin \theta_A = (50) sin 0^{\circ}=0$

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is $\theta_B = -70^{\circ}$ , so the y-component is

$B_y = B sin \theta_B = (120) sin (-70^{\circ})=-112.7$

where the negative sign means the direction is along negative y:

So, vector B has the greater y component.

The ratio of the output work to input force is the _ of the machine ?

Colt1911 [192]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Mechanical advantage

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force output from a machine divided by the force input into the machine.
Mechanical advantage measures the machine's force-magnifying effect. It is an advantage gained by using simple machines to accomplish work with less effort.
The formula is; M.A = output force/ Input force
