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

A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.
olasank [31]

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N

The base of a hexagonal prism has an apothem measuring 10 inches and an area of 346.41 square inches. the prism is 12 inches tal
tigry1 [53]

The approximate lateral area of the prism is determined as 831 square inches.

<h3>What is lateral area of the hexagonal prism?</h3>

The lateral area of the hexagonal prism is calculated as follows;

LA = PH

where;

  • P is perimeter of the prism
  • H is height

A = ¹/₂Pa

where;

  • a is apothem = 10 inches
  • A is base area = 346.41 in²

346.41 = ¹/₂(10)P

346.41 = 5P

P = 346.41/5

P = 69.282 inches

LA = PH

LA = 69.282 x 12

LA = 831.38 in²

Snell's Law: Light traveling through water comes to a glass surface at an angle of incidence of
Lerok [7]

Answer:

1. The best definition of refraction is ____.

a. passing through a boundary

b. bouncing off a boundary

c. changing speed at a boundary

d. changing direction when crossing a boundary

 

Answer: D

Bouncing off a boundary (choice b) is reflection. Refraction involves passing through a boundary (choice a) and changing speed (choice c); however, a light ray can exhibit both of these behaviors without undergoing refraction (for instance, if it approaches the boundary along the normal). Refraction of light must involve a change in direction; the path must be altered at the boundary.

Why the distance between two loudspeakers have to be large??​
tangare [24]

Answer:because each speaker has a large angle of of coverage (horizontal and vertical)

They place them apart to prevent their signals (sounds produced) from getting into each other's way as this may cause interference (which may be destructive.
