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 doesn't every planet have a moon?​
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Up first are Mercury and Venus. Neither of them has a moon. Because Mercury is so close to the Sun and its gravity, it wouldn't be able to hold on to its own moon. Any moon would most likely crash into Mercury or maybe go into orbit around the Sun and eventually get pulled into it.

Three long, straight wires are carrying currents that have the same magnitude. In C the current is opposite to that in A and B.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

(b) B

Explanation:

The direction of force on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field can be found using the right hand rule, which states that-"stretch the thumb in the direction of the current, and point the fingers in the direction of magnetic field. The direction of palm will then give the direction of force on the wire

On wire B the forces due to A and C act in the same direction and so strengthen each other. they get added up because the forces act in the same direction.

on wires A and C the forces (due to B and C and A and B

respectively) act in opposite directions and therefore tend to cancel out.
