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

PLEASE HELP FAST The object distance for a convex lens is 15.0 cm, and the image distance is 5.0 cm. The height of the object is
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The image height is 3.0 cm

Explanation:

Given;

object distance, d_o = 15.0 cm

image distance, d_i = 5.0 cm

height of the object, h_o = 9.0 cm

height of the image, h_i = ?

Apply lens equation;

\frac{h_i}{h_o} = -\frac{d_i}{d_o}\\\\ h_i = h_o(-\frac{d_i}{d_o})\\\\h_i = -9(\frac{5}{15} )\\\\h_i = -3 \ cm

Therefore, the image height is 3.0 cm. The negative values for image height indicate that the image is an inverted image.

Jack drops a stone from rest off of the top of a bridge that is 24.4 m above the ground. After the stone falls 6.6 m, Jill throw
alukav5142 [94]
-17.555m/s

first I found the time it took for jacks stone to reach the bottom, using the formula vf = vi + at, vf and vi are final and initial velocities.

then i found the velocity at 6.6m using vf^2 = vi^2 + 2ad
and I found the time it took to get to 6.6m, so that I knew how long Jill waited to throw her stone, I used the formula d = t(vi+vf)/2, then i done total time - the time she waited, to get the time it took for there stones to hit the ground at the same time.

then to find the initial velocity of her throw I used the formula d = vit + (at^2)/2
