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

Calculate the speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V.
AVprozaik [17]

The speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V is 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s.

Initial velocity of the proton u = 0

Given potential difference \Delta V = 350V

let's assume that the speed of the proton is v,

Since the proton is accelerating through a potential difference, proton's potential energy will change with time. The potential energy of a particle of charge q when accelerated with a potential difference \Delta V is,

    U = q \Delta V

Due to Work-Energy Theorem and Conservation of Energy - <em>If there is no non-conservative force acting on a particle then loss in Potential energy  P.E must be equal to gain in Kinetic Energy K.E</em> i.e

\Delta K = \Delta V

If the initial and final velocity of the proton is u and v respectively then,

change in Kinetic Energy  \implies  \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0

change in Potential Energy \implies \Delta U = q\Delta V

from conservation of energy,

             v= \sqrt{\frac{2q\Delta V}{m}}

so,         v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 350 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}

                = 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s

The term "ideal gas" refers to a gas for which certain assumptions have been made. Which of the following is not such an assumpt
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

(A) Consists of a small number of tiny particles that are far apart- relative in their size.

Explanation:

An <em>ideal gas</em> is defined as a simplification of a real gas, with punctual particles, in which all collisions are elastic, with random displacements and with no attractive force between them.

The assumption of the particles being punctual make clear that they do not have size at all. So if they were far apart-relative in their size, they can not collide each other, that is why assumption (B) can not be possible (<u><em>for that particular case</em></u>).

It is clear that (A) is not an assumption for an ideal gas, because do not fit in any of its properties.

Elastic collision: It is a case in which the energy is conserved (Kinetic Energy).

Kinetic Energy: It is the energy that will have an object as a consequence of its movement.

3. Consider a locomotive and the rest of a freight train to be a single object. Suppose the locomotive is pulling the train up a
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Action - Pulling up the train.

Reaction - Friction on the locomotive

Explanation:

Locomotive is pulling the train upwards ,

Which is the action force applied by the locomotive,

As a reaction locomotive will be pulled by the train which is the reaction of pulling

Now, considering it as a action on locomotive , friction force will act on it as a reaction upwards which will result to move it upwards.

For train action is pulling up by locomotive and reaction will be friction acting on it downwards.

According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of
Darina [25.2K]

Before going to answer this question first we have to understand reflection and laws of reflection.

Reflection is the optical phenomenon in which light will bounce back to the same medium from which it had originated .

Whenever a light ray will incident on a mirror or any reflecting surface, it will be reflected. The ray which falls on the reflecting surface is called incident ray and the ray which is reflected is called reflected ray.

Let us consider a normal to the point of incidence.The angle made by incident ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as[ i ]

The angle made by the reflected ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as [r]

There are two types of reflection.One is called regular and other one is called as irregular.The laws of reflection is valid for both the types of reflection.

There are two laws of reflection.

FIRST LAW -It states that the incident ray,reflected ray and the normal to the point of incidence,all lie in one plane.

SECOND LAW- It states that that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection irrespective of the type of reflection.i.e i =r

Hence the correct answer will be angle of reflection.
