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

The second law of thermodynamics allows us to conclude that which of the following statements are true? The second law of thermo
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The disorder in the universe is increasing with time.

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that the amount of entropy in the universe increases over time. Entropy expresses the number of different configurations that a system defined by macroscopic variables could assume. Therefore, is can be interpreted as a measure of the disorder, or randomness of a system.

an astronaut on earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. if she were instead in
nadya68 [22]

The gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.

<h3>What is gravitational force?</h3>

All mass-bearing objects are attracted by gravitational force. Because it consistently attempts to bring masses together rather than push them apart, the gravitational force is referred to as attractive.

As we know, the gravitational force is given by:

\rm F = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Where G is the gravitational constant.

m1 and m2 are masses.

r is the distance between the masses.

Weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced

mg = ρVg

m = ρV

g does not affect astronauts on earth in a lunar module.

Thus, the gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.

An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in a lunar module parked on the Moon where the gravitation force is 1/6 that of Earth, the ice in the same soft drink would float:A) with more than 9/10 submerged. B) with 9/10 submerged.C) with 6/10 submerged.D) totally submerged.

Analyze how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect on our lives
denpristay [2]
Positive - Friction allows us to create heat in a desperate situation, like being lost in the woods. If we didn't have friction, we would probably freeze to death.
Negative - Friction can also cause unwanted fires, such as forest fires. If friction didn't exist, we wouldn't have these.
