Answer:

W = 600 N

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of any machine is the ratio of the load or weight to the effort applied. Hence, the general formula for mechanical advantage is as follows:

M.A = W/P

where,

M.A =Mechanical Advantage of Hammer = 10

W = Maximum force that could be generated = ?

P = Force created by me = 60 N

Therefore,

10 = W/60 N

W = 10*60 N

<u>W = 600 N</u>

Deep in the interiors of the giant planets, water is still a liquid even though the temperatures are tens of thousands of degree
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

High pressure inside the giant planet

Explanation:

As we move in the interior of the giant planet, the pressure and temperature in the interior of the planet increases. Since, the giant planets have hardly any solid surface and thus they are mostly constituted of atmosphere.

Also, the gravitational forces keep even the lightest of the matter bound in it contributing to the large mass of the planet.

If we look at the order of the magnitude of the temperature of these giant planets than nothing should be able to stay in liquid form but as the depth of the planet increases with the increase in temperature, pressure also increases which keeps the particle of the matter in compressed form.

Thus even at such high order of magnitude water is still found in liquid state in the interior of the planet.

Two dump trucks each have a mass of 1,500 kg. The distance of the dump truck
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

6.00 x 10⁻⁸N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of each dump trucks  = 1500kg

Distance between them  = 50m

Unknown:

New gravitational force between them = ?

Solution:

From Newton's law of universal gravitation,

        F = \frac{G m1 m2}{r^{2} }  

F is the gravitational force

G is the universal gravitation constant

m is the mass

r is the distance

           F  = \frac{6.67 x 10^{-11} x 1500  x 1500}{50^{2} }    = 6.00 x 10⁻⁸N

you know that there are 1609 meter in a mile. the number of feet in a mile is 5280. what is the speed snail from problem 7 per m
Zanzabum

Answer:

We know that 1 meter = 100 centimeters, and 1 foot = 12 inches.

So  (1,609 meters) x (100 centimeters/meter)  =  (5,280 feet) x (12 inches/foot)

The second fraction on each side of the equation is equal to ' 1 ', because

the numerator is equal to the denominator, so sticking it in there doesn't

change the value of that side of the equation.  But now we can cancel some

units,and wind up with the units we need.

  (1,609 meters) x (100 centimeters/meter)  =  (5,280 feet) x (12 inches/foot)

        (1,609 x100) centimeters  =  (5,280 x 12) inches

            160,900 centimeters  =  63,360 inches

Divide each side by  63,360 :        2.54 centimeters =  1 inch
