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.

What are electrons and how are they involved in creating and electric current?

Artist 52 [7]

Electrons are a stable sub atomic particle that has a negative charge and is found in all atoms and is the main carrier of electricity through solids.

In a metal, some of the electrons can escape from the atoms and are free to move around inside the metal. These electrons are referred to as 'conduction electrons'.

<span>A current is a flow of charge. In metal a current is the flow of the conduction electrons through the metal. This can occur when connected to battery for example: The battery pumps the conduction electrons around the circuit. </span>

g A cylinder of mass m is free to slide in a vertical tube. The kinetic friction force between the cylinder and the walls of the

sdas [7]

Answer:

The vertical distance is $d = \frac{2}{k} *[mg + f]$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the cylinder is m

The kinetic frictional force is f

Generally from the work energy theorem

$E = P + W_f$

Here E the the energy of the spring which is increasing and this is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{1}{2} * k * d^2$

Here k is the spring constant

P is the potential energy of the cylinder which is mathematically represented as

$P = mgd$

And

$W_f$ is the workdone by friction which is mathematically represented as

$W_f = f * d$

$\frac{1}{2} * k * d^2 = mgd + f * d$

=> $\frac{1}{2} * k * d^2 = d[mg + f ]$

=> $\frac{1}{2} * k * d = [mg + f ]$

=> $d = \frac{2}{k} *[mg + f]$

Mark all the fermions a) Proton b) Electron c)Anti-top d) Gluon e) Tau Neutrino

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

(a) Proton, (b) Electron (c) tau neutrino.

Explanation:

Elementary particles are the particles without any sub-structure which means they are not composed of other particles.

The elementary particles are classified into three categories which are discussed below:

(1) Quarks: up, down, top, bottom, strange, and charm.

(2) Leptons: electrons, electron neutrino, muon, muon neutrino, tau, tau neutrino.

(3) Bosons: Guon, photons Z bosons, W bosons, Higgs.

Fermions are particles that follow Fermi-Dirac statistics. Fermions consist of all the quarks and leptons. And fermions can also be categorized in elementary particles such as electrons and protons.

Therefore, the fermions in the given question are proton, electron, and tau neutrino.

An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

15.75 m/s

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the combined mass of astronaut and tools = 1.8 m/s

$m_1$ = Mass of astronaut = 124 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of tools = 16 kg

$v_1$ = Velocity of astronaut = 0

$v_2$ = Velocity of tools

As linear momentum is conserved

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{(m_1 + m_2)v-m_1v_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{(124+16)\times 1.8-124\times 0}{16}\\\Rightarrow v_2=15.75\ m/s$

The velocity of the tools is 15.75 m/s
