Answer:
Explanation:
The inclined plane
An inclined plane consists of a sloping surface; it is used for raising heavy bodies. The plane offers a mechanical advantage in that the force required to move an object up the incline is less than the weight being raised (discounting friction). The steeper the slope, or incline, the more nearly the required force approaches the actual weight. Expressed mathematically, the force F required to move a block D up an inclined plane without friction is equal to its weight W times the sine of the angle the inclined plane makes with the horizontal (θ). The equation is F = W sin θ.
The lever
A lever is a bar or board that rests on a support called a fulcrum. A downward force exerted on one end of the lever can be transferred and increased in an upward direction at the other end, allowing a small force to lift a heavy weight.
The wedge
A wedge is an object that tapers to a thin edge. Pushing the wedge in one direction creates a force in a sideways direction. It is usually made of metal or wood and is used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as in securing a hammer head onto its handle.
The wheel and axle
A wheel and axle is made up of a circular frame (the wheel) that revolves on a shaft or rod (the axle). In its earliest form it was probably used for raising weights or water buckets from wells.
Its principle of operation is best explained by way of a device with a large gear and a small gear attached to the same shaft. The tendency of a force, F, applied at the radius R on the large gear to turn the shaft is sufficient to overcome the larger force W at the radius r on the small gear. The force amplification, or mechanical advantage, is equal to the ratio of the two forces (W:F) and also equal to the ratio of the radii of the two gears (R:r)
To change from mass to weight is Fw = 30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 294 N. To change from weight to mass divide by gravity (9.8 m/s^2).
Radio waves are the longest
I believe the answer is D. Thunderstorm
Unstable air indicates that <span>the lowest layers of an </span>air<span> mass is low in temperature. Thunderstorms is more likely to happen if there is unstable air mass because it provide a situation where there is more energy for the Thunderstorms to feed off of.</span>
When a mirror is rotated . . .
-- The incident ray doesn't turn. It's just the line from the source to the mirror.
It would be there, in the same place, even if there was no mirror.
-- The normal turns. It's the line perpendicular to the mirror, so it must turn
with the mirror.
-- Since the normal tuns and the incident ray doesn't, the angle between them
must change. And since the angle of the reflected ray is equal to the angle of
the incident ray, the reflected ray must also turn.
