When the fulcrum is shifted to the right, which side has a mechanical advantage and which side has a mechanical disadvantage?

Physics

The lever is a movable bar that pivots on a fulcrum attached to or positioned on or across a fixed point. The lever operates by applying forces at different distances from the fulcrum, or pivot.

A lever amplifies an input force to provide a greater output force, which is said to provide leverage. The ratio of the output force to the input force is the mechanical advantage of the lever.

The mechanical advantage of the lever is increased by moving the fulcrum closer to the load i.e., by shifting the fulcrum towards the right. Moving the fulcrum away from the load has mechanical disadvantage as the distance between the load and the fulcrum increases, the input force becomes greater than the output force.

An igneous intrusion whose boundaries lie parallel to the layering in the surrounding country rock is considered to be:
ikadub [295]
<span>...a concordant intrusion. In geology, "concordant" means the same as "sill" -- or, an intrusion that has gotten in between older layers of rock (or even beds of volcanic lava). An intrusion with boundaries parallel to layering in surrounding rocks suggests this, meaning it is considered to be a concordant intrusion.</span>

Which of the fluids below would produce the highest pressure at the bottom of a tank for the same fluid depth?
marishachu [46]
The answer is  a property of density. The higher the density, the higher the pressure at the bottom. 

Pressure = mass / Area. So given that the 4 samples occupy the same area at the bottom, the mass is going to be the determining factor. Per given volume, mercury has the largest mass. The answer is A

James accelerates his skate board uniformly along a straight road from rest to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. What is James Acceleration?
lawyer [7]

Given:

u(initial velocity)=0

v(final velocity)= 10 m/s

t= 4 sec

Now we know that

v= u + at

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration measured in m/s^2

t is the time measured in sec

10=0+ax4

a=10/4

a=2.5 m/s^2

What do electric forces between charges depend on?
bonufazy [111]

Electrostatic forces between charges depend on the product of
the sizes of the charges, and the distance between them.

We should also mention the item about whether the charges are
both the same sign or opposite signs.  That determines whether
the forces will pull them together or push them apart, which is a
pretty significant item.
