Which expression allows you to determine the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?

Physics
1 answer:
Leya [2.2K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

(C) length / height of the plane

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane can be determined using different variables. In this case, the geometry of the setup is relevant. The advantage is proportional  to the length of the plane, and inversely proportional to the height: it is the ratio (length) / (height) of the plane. For example, given a desired, fixed height, a long inclined plane gives you a bigger mechanical advantage than a short inclined plane. In this example, pushing an object up the long plane will require a smaller force, than it would on the short plane.

Strictly speaking, (D) would also "allow you to determine the mechanical advantage" because you could simply invert the ratio listed under (D). However, (C) is the best, direct, answer.

If the charge remains the same but the radius of the sphere is doubled, the electric flux coming out of it will be
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Gauss's theorem for electric flux to solve the problem . According to this theorem , total electric flux coming out of a charge q can be given by the following relation .

∫ E ds = q / ε

Here q is assumed to be enclosed in a closed surface , E is electric intensity on the surface so

∫ E ds represents total electric flux passing through the closed surface due to charge q enclosed in the surface .

This also represents total flux coming out of the charge q on all sides .

This is equal to q / ε where ε is a constant called permittivity  which depends upon the medium enclosing the charge . For air , its value is 8.85 x 10⁻¹² .

If charge remains the same but radius of the sphere enclosing the charge is doubled , the flux coming out of charge will remain the same .

It is so because flux coming out of charge q is q / ε . It does not depend upon surface area enclosing the charge . It depends upon two factors

1 ) charge q and

2 ) the permittivity of medium  ε  around .

Movies and TV shows sometimes portray a person being thrown backwards a sizable distance as a result of being struck by a bullet
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

 R = 4.24 x 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the person = 60.3-kg

mass of the bullet = 10 gram = 0.01 Kg

velocity of bullet = 389 m/s

angle made with the horizontal = 45°

using conservation of momentum.

M v  + m u  = ( M + m ) V

60.3 x 0 + 0.01 x 389 = (60.3 + 0.01) V

V = \dfrac{3.89}{60.31}

V = \dfrac{3.89}{60.31}

V = 0.0645 m/s

for calculation of range

R = \dfrac{V^2sin 2 \theta}{g}

R = \dfrac{0.0645^2sin 2 (45^0)}{9.8}

     R = 4.24 x 10⁻⁴ m

the distance actor fall is  R = 4.24 x 10⁻⁴ m

It is generally seen that, when a substance absorbs heat energy, its heating curve shows two plateaus. Which phenomenon is indic
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is;

Change of phase.

Explanation:

When the physical state in which a substance exists in nature changes to another physical state such as a change from solid state to a liquid stat or from a liquid state to a gaseous state, the substance is said to have undergone a phase change, or phase transformation.

The state of a substance will change, depending on the surrounding temperature and the applied pressure and the energy required for the substance to change its state is known as latent heat.

The observed plateaus are periods the latent heat is absorbed to completely change the phase of the substance.
