Answer:

16.7

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force to the input force.

MA = Fout / Fin

MA = 2000 N / 120 N

MA ≈ 16.7

I need help with questions 4 and 5 because my teacher is not good with explaining them to a better understanding (Geometry)
Helga [31]
Hello! I can help you with this! 

4. For this problem, we have to write and solve a proportion. We would set this proportion up as 12/15 = 8/x. This is because we're looking for the length of the shadow and we know the height of the items, so we line them up horizontally and x goes with 8, because we're looking for the shadow length. Let's cross multiply the values. 15 * 8 = 120. 12 * x = 12. You get 120 = 12x. Now, we must divide each side by 12 to isolate the "x". 120/12 is 10. x = 10. There. The cardboard box casts a shadow that is 10 ft long.

5. For this question, you do the same thing. This time, you're finding the height of the tower, so you would do 1.2/0.6 = x/7. Cross multiply the values in order to get 8.4 = 0.6x. Now, divide each side by 0.6x to isolate the "x". 8.4/0.6 is 14. x = 14. There. The tower is 14 m tall.

If you need more help on proportions and using proportions in real life situations, feel free to search on the internet to find more information about how you solve them.

What is the new current?
nikdorinn [45]
Voltage = current x resistance
since R is doubled, current must reduce by half.
So,
new current = 120/2 = 60mA

You have a mass of 60-kg, and you are facing your friend who has a mass of 100 kg. You skate towards
White raven [17]

Answer: My initial velocity is 5 m/s.

Explanation:

In this case, momentum can be conserved.

initial momentum = final momentum

Since both the bodies come to rest after collision,

Final momentum = 0

Let my velocity be v, and mass, m1 = 60 kg

Friend's mass, m2 = 100 kg

Friend's velocity, v2 = 3 m/s

Intial momentum = m1v + m2v2

= 60v + 300

Conserving momentum,

60v + 300 = 0

v= -5 m/s

( Negative sign indicates that me and my friend are moving in opposite directions that is towards each other)
