Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the distance of the input load (Li)from the pivot to the output load applied to the pivot(Lo)

MA = Li/Le

Given;

Li = 45cm

Lo = 1.8cm

MA = 45/1.8

MA = 25

Hence the mechanical advantage is 25

Also MA is expressed in terms of the force ratio which is the ratio of the Load to the effort applied.

MA = Load/Effort

Given

Load = 1250N

MA = 25

Effort = ?

Substitute

25 = 1250/Effort

Effort = 1250/25

Effort = 50N

Hence the minimum force exerted on the load is 50N

A rifle bullet leaves the barrel at 1500 meters per second. If it does not slow down or hit anything, how far can it travel in h
galben [10]

Since we are dividing a second in 2, we can simply divide the amount of meters by 2.

1500/2=750

It travels 750 meters in half a second.

Hope this helps!

What is the smallest possible number of products in a decomposition reaction?
Vaselesa [24]
The smallest number of products in a decomposition reaction is two because there is 1 reactant that breaks down and when it does break down there must be two products. It is generally more, though.
