Answer:

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. The device preserves the input power and simply trades off input forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force. The model for this is the law of the lever. Machine components designed to manage forces and movement in this way are called mechanisms. An ideal mechanism transmits power without adding to or subtracting from it. This means the ideal mechanism does not include a power source, is frictionless, and is constructed from rigid bodies that do not deflect or wear. The performance of a real system relative to this ideal is expressed in terms of efficiency factors that take into account departures from the ideal.

Estimate the wavelength of electrons that have been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 60 kV.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 2.068* $10^{-14}$ m

Explanation: According to work energy-theorem , the workdone in accelerating the electron equals the energy it would give off in terms of light.

workdone= qV

energy = hc/λ

q=magnitude of an electronic charge= 1.602* $10^{-16}$

h= planck constant = 6.626* $10^{-34}$

c= speed of light =2.998* $10^{8}$

v= potential difference= 6* $10^{4}$

λ= wavelength=unknown

by making λ subject of formulae we have that

λ= $\frac{hc}{qv}$

λ = 6.626* $10^{-34}$ * 2.998* $10^{8}$ / 1.602* $10^{-16}$ * 6* $10^{4}$

λ = $\frac{19.878*10^{-26} }{9.612*10^{-12} }$

by doing the necessary calculations, we have that

λ = 2.068* $10^{-14}$ m

Describe how sound waves are produced

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Sound waves are produced when something vibrates.

Explanation:

The vibrating body causes the medium (water, air, etc.) Vibrations in air are called traveling longitudinal waves, which we can hear. Sound waves consist of areas of high and low pressure called compressions and rarefactions, respectively.

You drive a car 640 m to the east, then 340 m to the north what is the magnitude of your displacement

mixer [17]

Magnitude of displacement = $\sqrt{640^2 + 340^2}$

Adding the squares gives displacement = $\sqrt{525,200}$

Displacement = $\sqrt{525,200}$ ≈ 724.7m

If 8000 C of charge pass through a section of wire in 2 minutes, what would the current be?

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

we know that current = charge/time

Explanation:

therefore,

A = 8000/120

A => 66.666.... amperes
