Answer:

Explanation: Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. The device preserves the input power and simply trades off forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force.

Why does a lunar eclipse last for a few hours whereas a solar eclipse only lasts for a few minutes?

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit. ... A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly 2 hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only up to a few minutes at any given place, due to the smaller size of the Moon's shadow.

You place a point charge q = -4.00 nC a distance of 9.00 cm from an infinitely long, thin wire that has linear charge density 3.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

$F=6\times 10^{-7}\ N$

Explanation:

Given:

quantity of point charge, $q=-4\times 10^{-9}\ C$

radial distance from the linear charge, $r=0.09\ m$

linear charge density, $\lambda=3\times 10^{-9}\ C.m^{-1}$

We know that the electric field by the linear charge is given as:

$E=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi.\epsilon_0.r}$

$E=\frac{1}{2}\times 9\times 10^9\times \frac{3\times10^{-9}}{0.09}$

$E=150\ N.C^{-1}$

Now the force on the given charge can be given as:

$F=E.q$

$F=150\times 4\times 10^{-9}$

$F=6\times 10^{-7}\ N$

Why are temperatures higher in the summer

pochemuha

Answer:Why are temperatures higher in summer than in winter?

During the summer, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. ... Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures. During the winter, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot.

A body travels at an initial speed of 2.5 m/s. Given a constant acceleration of 0.2 m/s 2 what is the speed of the body at time

garri49 [273]

Answer:

We are given:

u = 2.5 m/s

a = 0.2 m/s/s

t = 25 seconds

v = v m/s

Solving for 'v':

From the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

Replacing the values

v = 2.5 + (0.2)(25)

v = 2.5 + 5

v = 7.5 m/s
