Answer:

The answer is screw x

Explanation:

A screw is an inclined plane that spirals around a cylinder. To help visualize this, imagine a playground slide that sprirals around a central pole. The threads on a screw are the outside edge of a plane that wraps around the screw's central axis.

The closer together a screw's threads are, the longer the inclined plane. The longer the inclined plane, the less effort force required to turn the screw. The screw in image X requires the least amount of effort force to turn because its threads are the closest together.

Answer:

Screw X

Explanation:

  • In the screw x, the threads of the inclined plane are closer together. Therefore this screw has a greater mechanical advantage and hence it is easier to turn than the other screws.
  • Therefore,it takes less force to penetrate the wood with the screw X.

Traveling waves are generated on a string fixed at both ends. The string has a length L, a linear mass density m, and a tension
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: d. I or II

Explanation: A traveling wave has speed that depends on characteristics of a medium. Characteristics like linear density (μ), which is defined as mass per length.

Tension or Force (F_{T}) is also related to the speed of a moving wave.

The relationship between tension and linear density and speed is ginve by the formula:

|v|=\sqrt{\frac{F_{T}}{\mu} }

So, for the traveling waves generated on a string fixed at both ends described above, ways to increase wave speed would be:

1) Increase Tension and maintaining mass and length constant;

2) Longer string will decrease linear density, which will increase wave speed, due to their inversely proportional relationship;

Then, ways to increase the wave speed is

I. Using the same string but increasing tension

II. Using a longer string with the same μ and T.

When the air density is 0 kg/m°(vacuum), how long will it take an object to reach terminal velocity?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

d. The object never reaches terminal velocity.

Explanation:

Terminal velocity is the velocity a falling object reaches when the air resistance equals the weight.  But in a vacuum, there is no air resistance.  So the object never reaches terminal velocity.
