4 0

Answer:

Option D

MA=5

Explanation:

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

MA=\frac {Effort arm length}{Load arm length}

Substituting 15 inches for the effort arm length and 3 inches for the load arm length then we obtain the mechanical advantage as

MA=\frac {15}{3}=5

Is it true that atmospheric oxygen gas is a pure substance?
Mariana [72]

The stronger the forces, the more rigid the matter. Pure Substances are made of the same material throughout and have the same properties throughout. Pure substances cannot be separated into other substances. Some examples are carbon, iron, water, sugar, salt, nitrogen gas, and oxygen gas.

What happens to light that strikes a piece of glass
Leya [2.2K]
If a ray of light hits the surface of a sheet of glass, some light will be reflected by the surface of the glass. However, much of the light will pass through the glass, because glass is transparent. ... This 'bending of a ray of light' when it passes from one substance into another substance is called refraction.

Mr. Galonski loves to use the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Create a scenario in which Mr. Galonski is using waves from the electrom
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The Scenario:

On a normal Sunday afternoon Mr. Golanski is sitting in his living room reading his book. He decides after a while to turn on the Television to see what’s on the news, (Mr. Golanski is using Radio waves when he turns his television on by signaling the TV from his remote control). After a few hours Mr. Golanski decides it’s time to have dinner. He heats up a quick meal in his microwave because he doesn’t have the patience for cooking. (He is using microwave radiation to heat his food because water molecules in food absorb the radiation). He sits down for his meal, and halfway through he starts to choke! In a panicked frenzy he runs to his bathroom to try and dislodge the obstacle from his throat. By doing so he switched on the fluorescent lights in his bathroom exposing himself to small amounts of ultraviolet radiation. (Fluorescent lights absorb UV radiation and transmit visible light along with small amounts of UV light). Unable to dislodge the obstacle from his throat Mr. Golanski seeks help from his neighbor who drives him straight to the ER. To treat him properly the physicians opt for a fluoroscopy to examine Mr. Golanski’s esophageal tract. (Thus he is making use of X-ray imaging to obtain a visual of his internal esophageal structure to check for the obstruction). Once treated and discharged from the hospital Mr. Golanski returns home grateful to have survived this ordeal with minimum damage.

Explanation:

The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the range of frequencies and wavelengths for different light waves. They range with increasing frequency from Radio waves, to Microwaves, to Infrared waves, to Visible waves, to Ultraviolet waves, to Infrared waves, to X-rays, and to Gamma rays. Several of which we use in our daily lives such as Radio waves when operating our television or using our cellular phones. We also use microwaves to heat our food or for communication with satellites. We are also exposed to natural Ultraviolet radiation from the sun; however, we can also get exposed to other forms such as from certain types of light bulbs. We see visible light in the form of all the colors we can detect around us. We make use of x-rays for imaging techniques widely used in medicine for diagnostics, as well as Infrared waves in our home security systems. The electromagnetic spectrum is always used as a part of our everyday life.
