Answer:

A. Reduces the effort force

Explanation:

In a general form, an effort force is a force applied on a point of a machine to do work (move something, for example) and overcome a resistance force. In this context, the effort force is the one which the rider applies with his feet on the pedal, to rotate subsequently: the crank, the chain wheel, the chain, and the wheels. The resistance force is the force caused by the friction with the air. Check the file I attach with the parts of a bicycle.

The force applied on the pedal creates a torque, which is transmitted (through the crank) to the chain wheel for it to rotate. Without that torque, the chain wheel couldn't rotate.

The reason why the bicycle uses a pedal and a crank is because they ease the application of that torque. Thanks to the length of the crank, is possible to obtain great amounts of torque (capable of moving a bicycle with a person on it) with the application of small effort force in the pedals.

Now, let's examine the four possible correct answers.

A. ✓ reduces the effort force: Yes, as stated in the last paragraph of the explanation, the pedal and the crank make possible to apply only a small amount of force on that pedal.

B. X increases the effort force: No, this would contradict to the said in the previous paragraph.

C. X reduces the resistance force: for the same velocity of the rider, the resistance force is the same and doesn't depend directly on the pedals.

D. increases the resistance force: again, the resistance force doesn't change for the same velocity

A power cycle operates between a lake’s surface water at a temperature of 300 K and water at a depth whose temperature is 285 K.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: a) 0.04kW = 40W

b) 0.05

Explanation:

A)

Thermal efficiency of the power cycle = Input / output

Input = 10 kW + 14,400 kJ/min = 10 kW + 14,400 kJ/(60s) = 10 kW + 14,400/60 kW.

Output = 10 kW

Thermal Efficiency = Output / Input = 10kW / 250kW = 0.04KW = 40W

B)

Maximum Thermal Efficiency of the power cycle = 1 - T1/T2

Where T1 = 285kelvin

And T2 = 300kelvin

Maximum Thermal Efficiency = 1 - T1/T2 = 1 - 285/300 = 0.05

A very long straight current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field of 20 mt at a distance d from the wire. to measure a field
padilas [110]

The distance covered is 4d.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>
  • Distance is a measure of how far apart two objects or locations are using numbers.
  • The distance can refer to a physical length or an estimate based on other factors in both daily language and physics (e.g. "two counties over").
  • The terms "distance from A to B" and "distance from B to A" are frequently used interchangeably.
  • A distance function or metric is a technique to describe what it means for components of space to be "near to" or "far away" from each other in mathematics.
  • It is a generalization of the idea of physical distance. Distance is a non-numerical unit of measurement in psychology and the social sciences; psychological distance is the separation of an object from itself along dimensions including time, space, and isolation.

We know that

the magnetic field is inversely proportional to distance.

\dfrac{B_1}{B_2} = \dfrac{D_2}{D_1}

\dfrac{20}{5} = \dfrac{D_2}{d}

D_2 = 4d

In Wagner’s opera Das Rheingold, the goddess Freia is ransomed for a pile of gold just tall enough and wide enough to hide her f
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Price=$7×10⁷

Explanation:

Step 1: Estimate the volume of the pile,

Step 2: Multiply it by the density to get its mass

Step 2: Then multiply the mass by the price per gram to get the total price

So

The average pile dimensions are=45.7×45×172.7

V=3.6*10^{5}cm^{3}\\  m_{g}=V_{p}=3.6*10^{5}*19.3=7*10^{6}g\\

Price=m×$10

Price=(7×10⁶)×$10

Price=$7×10⁷
