Answer:

Inclined Plane

Explanation:

An inclined plane, also known as a ramp, is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle, with one end higher than the other, used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. The inclined plane is one of the six classical simple machines.

The basic principle of Inclined pane is as follows

W = F x D ( Force times Distance)

where W shows the word done.

The work involved in lifting the heavy object can be describes as:

Work = Force \times Distance = mgh

Work required to lift the object to the same height is independent of the path by which it is taken there.The machines such as ramps do not decrease the work. These help in making our work easier. Due to ramp, we have to push to a longer distance but less effort i.e. less force is required to do the same amount of work.

The force to be exerted in absence of inclined plane is mg ( weight of the object). On the other hand, the force exerted on an inclined plane is reduced by sinθ (F=mg sinθ) value of sinθ lies between 0 and 1.

Hence, it becomes easier to lift a heavy object using ramp.

What type of intermolecular force happens with a polar covalent molecule when dipoles are created due to un-equal sharing of ele
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Dipole-dipole interaction force

Explanation:

When one of the constituent atom of the covalent bonding is at least 1.5 times more electronegative than the other atom sharing the electron in the covalent bond then the shared pair of electrons are shifted towards the more electronegative atom developing a partial negative charge on it and similarly develops an equal partial positive charge on the other atom involved in the covalent bond.

  • This happens in water molecules and the resulting dipole is the cause of hydrogen bonding between two molecules of water. Hydrogen bond also exists in (HF) hydrogen fluoride molecules.

Newton’s laws of motion are an inherent part of our everyday life. Starting from the beginning of the day till the end, Newton’s
12345 [234]

1st

Newton's laws of motion are three basic laws of classical mechanics that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. These laws can be paraphrased as follows: Law 1. A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force.

2nd

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

3rd

His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. If object A exerts a force on object B, object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A. In other words, forces result from interactions.

hope this helps u :)

Consider two tubes filled with water at the same height, one with fresh water and the other tube with salt water. The pressure i
Olegator [25]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The correct option for the question is B that is salt water. In salt water, the density of water is higher so the pressure at the end of tube containing salt water will be greater. As according to the hydrostatic law the pressure at a given point will be directly proportional to the distance travelled as well.
