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

Answer:

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.

H e l p.. I have no idea what any of this is, what is the first step of the hydrogen fusion process

klasskru [66]

The answer to this question is the first choice. In the hydrogen fusion process, the first step involves the collision of two protons to emit an antielectron and a neutrino. Only the first choice of
1_1H + 1_1H →2_1H + e^+ + v + energy
reflects this process. A hydrogen ion with a mass of one and number protons of 1 means a proton.

raketka [301]

Answer:s=0.68 m

Explanation:

Given

Inclination $\theta =11.1^{\circ}$

Speed of block(u)=1.6 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic Friction $\mu _k=0.39$

deceleration provided by friction=g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta [/tex]

Using $v^2-u^2=2as$

Final velocity v=0

$0-1.6^2=2(g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta )s$

$s=\frac{-1.6^2}{2\cdot (9.8\sin 11.1-0.39\times 9.8\times \cos 11.1)}$

s=0.68 m

What is the purpose of an experiment design?

Eddi Din [679]

An experimental design is used to assign variables for testing. In contrast to a control design where nothing is changed, the experimental design allows you to test various new inputs to see how they would vary from the original results.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: 12Mg/h

Explanation:

Let the spring is compressed by a distance x,before the lift stops,then

Mg(h+x)= 1/2 kx^2 ............... 1

Kx - Mg = M ( 5g ) ............ 2

Make x the subject in equation 2

Kx = 5Mg + Mg

Kx = 6Mg

x = 6Mg/k ............ 3

Put equation 3 into 1

Mg ( h + x ) = 1/2 kx^2

Mgh + Mgx = 1/2kx^2

Mgh + Mg × 6Mg/k = 1/2k × ( 6Mg/k )^2

Mgh + Mg× 6Mg/k = 1/2k 36M^2g^2/ k^2

h =18Mg/k - 6Mg/h

K = 12Mg/h

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

a) v = 0.9167 m / s, b) A = 0.350 m, c) v = 0.9167 m / s, d) A = 0.250 m

Explanation:

a) to find the velocity of the wave let us use the relation

v = λ f

the wavelength is the length that is needed for a complete wave, in this case x = 5.50 m corresponds to a wavelength

λ = x

the period is the time for the wave to repeat itself, in this case t = 3.00 s corresponds to half a period

T / 2 = t

T = 2t

period and frequency are related

f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 2t

we substitute

v = x / 2t

v = 5.50 / 2 3

v = 0.9167 m / s

b) the amplitude is the distance from a maximum to zero

2A = y

A = y / 2

A = 0.700 / 2

A = 0.350 m

c) The horizontal speed of the traveling wave (waves) is independent of the vertical oscillation of the particles, therefore the speed is the same

v = 0.9167 m / s

d) the amplitude is

A = 0.500 / 2

A = 0.250 m
