<h3>Answer:</h3>

1

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • A pulley is an example of a simple machine that is made up of ropes and wheels.
  • Mechanical advantage refers to the number of times that a simple machine multiplies the input force.
  • This means if a simple machine has a mechanical advantage of 5 then it means that it made the work done 5 times easier than without it.
  • It also means that one would apply 1/5 times the force they would have applied without the machine.
  • In this case, the pulley which is a simple machine requires you pull 3 times the amount of the rope. Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the machine is 1, which means the output force is equal to the input force.

What do scientists do to easily share measurement data they can understand?
malfutka [58]
These days, scientists all over the world use a standard system of measurements.  It's the SI or metric system.

What about scientists in the United States, Liberia, and Burma ? 
These three countries are the only ones in the world that haven't
adopted the metric system.  What do THEY do ?

Easy.  When scientists in those countries are off work, they use the
inches, yards, feet, quarts, miles and gallons that everybody around
them is using.  But when they go to work, they use the same metric
system that everyone else in the world is using.

What is the speed of the object in the graph? Explain​
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

0.8m per second

Explanation:

we measure speed as distance over time

distance=8m

time=10s

therefore speed = 8/10

=0.8m per second

A concrete block is hung from an ideal spring that has a force constant of 100 N/m . The spring stretches 0.129 m .A- What is th
madam [21]

Answer:

1.31498 kg

0.72050 s

0.72050 s

Explanation:

m = Mass of block

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

k = Spring constant = 100 N/M

x = Displacement = 0.129 m

The force balance is

mg=kx\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{kx}{g}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{100\times 0.129}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow m=1.31498\ kg

The mass of the block is 1.31498 kg

Time period is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{1.31498}{100}}\\\Rightarrow T=0.72050\ s

The period of oscillations is 0.72050 s

The time period does not depend on the acceleration due to gravity. It varies with the mass and the spring constant.

Hence, the time period would be the same

Allushta [10]
For this problem, we use the Coulomb's law written in equation as:

F = kQ₁Q₂/d²
where
F is the electrical force
k is a constant equal to 9×10⁹ 
Q₁ and Q₂ are the charge of the two objects
d is the distance between the two objects

Substituting the values:

F = (9×10⁹)(-22×10⁻⁹ C)(-22×10⁻⁹ C)/(0.10 m)²
F = 0.0004356 N
