Answer:

the mechanical advantage is 10

Explanation:

The computation of the mechanical advantage is as follows:

Mechanical advantage is

= Load ÷ Effort

where,

The Loan is equivalent to the weight i.e. 500 lb

And, the effort is equivalent to the force applied  i.e. 50lb

So, the mechanical advantage is

= 500 ÷ 50

= 10

Hence, the mechanical advantage is 10

When you look at a transverse wave, the distance from the baseline to the crest of the wave is called the wave's
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Amplitude

Explanation:

Amplitude is the vertical distance between the baseline to the crest or the horizontal diatance between crest and trough of a wave. Trough is the lowest point of the wave hence called the baseline while crest is the highest point of a wave. The horizontal distance between two successive waves is however called the wavelength and the product of wavelength and frequency gives the velocity of the waves. Note that amplitude has no effect on the velocity of the waves.

A laser produces 20.0 mW of red light. In 1 hour, the laser emits 2.29 X 10^20 photons. What is the wavelength of the laser?
Butoxors [25]
Using Planck's equation,

E = nhc / λ

Also, Power = Energy / time
E = 20 x 10⁻³ x 60 x 60
E = 108 J

108 = (2.29 x 10²⁰ x 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸) / λ
λ = 4.22 x 10⁻⁷ m

Consider three resistors with unequal resistances connected in series to a battery. Which of the following statements are true?
Ivenika [448]
<h2>Answer: The second Statement </h2>

<h2>The algebraic sum of the currents flowing through each of the three resistors is equal to the current through the battery.  </h2><h2 />

In a series circuit, the value of the equivalent resistance R_E is equal to the sum of the values of each of them:  

R_ {E}=R_{1}+R_ {2}+R_ {3}  

Where:  

<h2>The equivalent resistance of the combination of resistors is greater than the resistance of any one of three resistors. </h2>

In this case the current I flowing through the resistors is the same in each one. This is because the current flowing through the circuit only has one way to go, so the current intensity is the same throughout the circuit.

Therefore:  

<h2>The current flowing through each of the resistors is the same and is equal to the current through the battery.  </h2><h2>The algebraic sum of the voltages across the three resistors is equal to the voltage across the battery.  </h2>

The battery provides a voltage V_T that is the sum of the different voltages at the ends of the resistors:  

V_{T}=V_{1}+V_{2}+V_{3}  

Where the Voltage, according to Ohm's law is:  

V=R.I  

Hence, the second statement of this question is <u>True </u>

Hello There


Answers: 

1) BEVs and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are more promising for the future because they reduce gas emissions as well as CO2 which makes our planet less-pulluted

2) This is an opinion. Mine is that they should be required to at least have it be an option to buy.

I hope this helps
