The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) can be determined by the following equation:

 IMA= Input distance/Output distance

 The Input distance and Output distance are:

 Input distance=220 meters

 Output distance=110 meters

 When you substitute in the equation of the ideal mechanical advantage (IMA), you obtain:

 IMA= Input distance/Output distance

 IMA= 220 meters/110 meters

 IMA=2

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin
ELEN [110]
C is correct.  The work-force relation is given by W=F·d, where F is force vector, and d is the displacement vector.  The dot is the dot product, which is a measure of how parallel the two vectors are.  It can be restated as the product of two vector magnitudes times the cosine of the angle between them.  Therefore work is a scalar, not a vector, since the dot product returns a scalar.  
W=Fdcos(\theta)

Red laser light from a He-Ne laser (λ = 632.8 nm) creates a second-order fringe at 53.2° after passing through the grating. What
Svetlanka [38]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of red laser light, \lambda=632.8\ nm=632.8\times 10^{-9}\ m

The second order fringe is formed at an angle of, \theta=53.2^{\circ}

For diffraction grating,

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

d=\dfrac{n\lambda}{sin\theta}, n = 2

d=\dfrac{2\times 632.8\times 10^{-9}}{sin(53.2)}

d=1.58\times 10^{-6}\ m

The wavelength λ of light that creates a first-order fringe at 22 is given by :

\lambda=d\ sin\theta

\lambda=1.58\times 10^{-6}\ sin(22)

\lambda=5.91\times 10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=591\ nm

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the net force on a car moving in a straight line with a constant velocity
guapka [62]

Answer:

For example, when a car travels at a constant speed, the driving force from the engine is balanced by resistive forces such as air resistance and friction in the car's moving parts. The resultant force on the car is zero.

Explanation:

hope this helps
