In a real system of levers, wheels, or pulleys, the AMA is less than the IMA because of friction.
AMA (Actual mechanical advantage) is found by dividing output force by effort force. The actual mechanical advantage will always be less than the ideal mechanical advantage. The ideal mechanical advantage assumes perfect efficiency which doesn't account for friction, while actual mechanical advantage does. Therefore; the IMA is always greater than the actual mechanical advantage because all machines must overcome friction.

In what way are gravitational and electrical forces similar?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

D. Both occur between objects independently whether they are in contact or not.

Explanation:

- The gravitational force is a force that is exerted between two (or more) objects having mass. This force is always attractive and its magnitude is given by

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the two masses, and r is the distance between the two masses.

- The electrical force is a force that is exerted between two (or more) objects having electrical charge. It can be either attractive or repulsive, depending on the sign of the two charges, and its magnitude is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the two charges, and r the distance between the two charges.

Looking at both formulas, we see that the two forces are present even when the two objects are not in contact with each other (in fact, r can assume any value in the formula). They are said to be non-contact forces. Therefore, the correct option is

D. Both occur between objects independently whether they are in contact or not.

Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. So the answer is scalar quantities.

¿Qué ocurre como consecuencia de las corrientes de convección en la astenosfera?

Vladimir [108]

Respuesta:En la astenosfera existen lentos movimientos de convección que explican la deriva continental. Además, el basalto de la astenosfera fluye por extrusión a lo largo de las dorsales oceánicas, lo cual hace que se renueve y expanda constantemente el fondo oceánico. :D
