A student wants to use a ramp to move boxes into a truck bed that is 3 m high. He has a choice of 2 different ramps. The length

of one ramp is 2m, and the length of the other ramp is 8m. Which one will make his work easier? A. 8m, because he has to apply more force over a greater distance. B. 8m, because he has to apply less force over a greater distance. C. 2m, because he has to apply less force over a greater distance. D. 2m, because he has to apply more force over a greater distance

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. 8 m, because he has to apply less force over a greater distance

Explanation:

In the given question, in order for the student to lift the boxes onto the tuck with less amount of force, he applies the principle of Mechanical Advantage

The mechanical advantage is given by the measure by which a force is amplified through the use of a tool

Given that the work done = The force × The distance, we have

F₁ × d₁ = F₂ × d₂, which gives;

d₁/d₂ = F₂/F₁

Where;

F₁ = The input force

F₂ = The output force

d₁ = The input distance

d₂ = The output distance

The Mechanical advantage, MA = d₁/d₂ = F₂/F₁

Therefore, when the input distance is increased the input force will be reduced for a given output force

A 1369.4 kg car is traveling at 28.9 m/s when the driver takes his foot off the gas pedal. It takes 5.1 s for the car to slow do
Darya [45]

Answer:

F = 2389.603 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass m = 1,369.4 kg

Initial velocity u = 28.9 m/s

Final velocity v = 20 m/s

Time t = 5.1 s

Find:

Net force

Computation:

a = (v - u)/t

a = (20 - 28.9)/5.1

a = -1.745 m/s²

F = ma

F = (1369.4)(1.745)

F = 2389.603 N

What is the Genetic Modification Process?<br><br> Brainlyist for the best answer
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Production of GMOs is a multistage process which can be summarized as follows:

1. identification of the gene interest;

2. isolation of the gene of interest;

3. amplifying the gene to produce many copies;

4. associating the gene with an appropriate promoter and poly A sequence and insertion into plasmids;

5. multiplying the plasmid in bacteria and recovering the cloned construct for injection;

6. transference of the construct into the recipient tissue, usually fertilized eggs;

7. integration of gene into recipient genome;

8. expression of gene in recipient genome; and

9. inheritance of gene through further generations.

Two electrodes, separated by a distance d, in a vacuum are maintained at a constant potential difference. An electron, accelerat
Alja [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, the distance between the electrode is d.

The electron kinetic energy is Ek when the electrode are at distance "d" apart.

So, we want to find the K.E when that are at d/3 distance apart.

K.E = ½mv²

Note: the mass doesn't change, it is only the velocity that change.

Also,

K.E = Work done by the electron

K.E = F × d

K.E = W = ma × d

Let assume that if is constant acceleration

Then, m and a is constant,

Then,

K.E is directly proportional to d

So, as d increase K.E increase and as d decreases K.E decreases.

So,

K.E_1 / d_1 = K.E_2 / d_2

K.E_1 = E_k

d_1 = d

d_2 = d/3

K.E_2 = K.E_1 / d_1 × d_2

K.E_2 = E_k × ⅓d / d

Then,

K.E_2 = ⅓E_k

So, the new kinetic energy is one third of the E_k
