The correct answer to the question is unitless i.e the IMA of a mechanical system has no unit.

EXPLANATION:

The IMA of a mechanical system stands for ideal mechanical advantage.  It can be defined as the number of times the input or effort force provided to the mechanical system is multiplied under ideal conditions. The ideal conditions means that the system is free from friction, air resistance etc.

Let us consider d_{i} is the distance over which the input force is applied.

Let d_{0} is the distance over which the output force is applied.

The ideal mechanical advantage of the system is calculated as -

                    IMA = \frac{d_{i}} {d_{0}}.

Both d_{i}\ and\ d_{0} are measured in distance unit.

Hence, IMA is a unitless physical quantity.

What is the change in length of a 1400. m steel, (12x10^-6)/(C0) , pipe for a temperature change of 250.0 degrees Celsius? Remem
8090 [49]

Answer:

\Delta L = 4.2 m

Explanation:

As per the formula of thermal expansion we know that

L = L_o(1 + \alpha\Delta T)

so here we will have

L_o = 1400 m

\alpha = 12 \times 10^{-6} per ^oC

\Delta T = 250 degree C

so here change in the length of the rod is given as

\Delta L = L - L_o

\Delta L = L_o \alpha \Delta T

\Delta L = 1400 (12 \times 10^{-6})(250)

\Delta L = 4.2 m

nata0808 [166]

(a) 1.25\cdot 10^{-14} J

The change in potential energy of the electron is given by:

\Delta U=q E d

where

q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the magnitude of the electron's charge

E=150 N/C is the magnitude of the electric field

d = 520 m is the distance through which the electron has moved

Substituting into the equation, we find

\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)(150 N/C)(520 m)=1.25\cdot 10^{-14} J

(b) 78 kV

The potential difference the electron has moved through is given by

\Delta V=Ed

where

E=150 N/C is the magnitude of the electric field

d = 520 m is the distance through which the electron has moved

Substituting into the equation, we find

\Delta V=Ed=(150 N/C)(520 m)=78,000 V=78 kV

A copper rod of cross-sectional area 11.6 cm2 has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in an ice-water mixture, which
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

0.686 g of ice melts each second.

Solution:

As per the question:

Cross-sectional Area of the Copper Rod, A = 11.6\ cm^{2} = 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}

Length of the rod, L = 19.6 cm = 0.196 m

Thermal conductivity of Copper, K = 390\ W/m.^{\circ}C

Conduction of heat from the rod per second is given by:

q = \frac{KA\Delta T}{L}

where

\Delta T = 100^{\circ} - 0^{\circ} = 100^{\circ}C = temperature difference between the two ends of the rod.

Thus

q = \frac{390\times 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\times 100}{0.196} = 228.48\ J/s

Now,

To calculate the mass, M of the ice melted per sec:

M = \frac{q}{L_{w}}

where

L_{w} = Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 kJ/kg

M = \frac{228.48}{333\times 10^{3}} = 6.86\times 10^{- 4}\ kg = 0.686\ g
