Tech- A is correct

Explanation:

Leverage is defined as using a tool to gain mechanical influence. The measure of the benefit gained depends on what kind of lever is used and how it is utilized.
Leverage is designed in such a way that it can reproduce the force from your leg many times before any force is transferred to brake fluid.
The brake pedal size and the measure of leverage received depends on the overall design of the brake system.
The second-order lever is used in the brake pedal. The brake pedal applies leverage to populate the force employed to the master cylinder. The effort needed to drive a load depends on the corresponding distance of the load and the work from the fulcrum. The proportion of load and work is known as mechanical advantage.

Evaluate each of the following to three significant figures and express each answer in SI units using an appropriate prefix: (a)

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a)

$\frac{354 mg \, 45 km}{0.0356 kN} = 354 mg \times \frac{1 kg}{10^6 mg} \times 45 km \times \frac{10^3m}{1 km} \times \frac{1}{0.0356 kN} \times \frac{1 kN}{10^3 N} = 0.447 \frac{kg \, m}{N}$

(b)

$0.00453 Mg \times 201 ms = 0.00453 Mg \times \frac{10^3 kg}{1 Mg} \times 201 ms \times \frac{1 s}{10^3 ms} = 0.911 kg \, s$

(c)

$\frac{435 MN}{23.2 mm} = 435 MN \times \frac{10^6 N}{1 MN} \times \frac{1}{23.2 mm} \times \frac{10^3 mm}{1 m} = 18.75 \times 10^9 \frac{N}{m} = 18.75 \frac{GN}{m}$

Why metals are good thermal conductors, but polymers are not?

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: Metals are good thermal conductors because they have close packaged metal ions in their lattice structure but in polymers they have discontinuous structure which make them poor as a conductor.

Explanation: Metals are considered as good thermal conductors because of their lattice structure which has tightly packed ions in it. In the outer shell of atoms the electrons are free to move and thus conduct the electricity but for the polymers, they have a different structure as compared to metals thus it makes it difficult for a polymer to conduct electricity due to high number of discontinuous particle chains. Therefore metals are good conductors , but polymers are not.
