To crack a pecan, you apply a force of 55 N to the nutcracker. The nutcracker applies a force of 740 N to the pecan. What is the

mechanical advantage of the nutcracker?

Answer:

Explanation:

mechanical advantage = output force / input force

= 740 N / 55 N

= 13.45

A 1400 kg car is traveling east on the highway at 31 m/s and collides into the rear of a slower moving pickup truck of 2400 kg,

zloy xaker [14]

Answer: 31 m/s due east

Explanation: this question can be solved using the law of conservation of linear momentum.

This law states that in a closed or isolated system, during collision, the vector sum of momentum before collision equals the vector sum of momentum after collision.

Momentum = mass × velocity

From our question, our parameters before collision are given below as

Mass of car = mc = 1400kg

Speed of car =vc = 31 m/s (due east)

Mass of truck = mt = 2400kg

Velocity of truck = vt = 25 m/s ( due east )

After collision

Velocity of car = ?

Velocity of truck = 34 m/s ( due east )

Vector sum of momentum before collision is given as

1400 (31) + 2400 (25) = 43400 + 60000 = 103400 kgm/s

After collision the truck is seen to move faster (v = 34 m/s) which implies that the car also moves due east .

1400 (v) + 2400(25) .... A positive value is between both momenta because they are in the same direction.

After collision, we have that

1400v + 60000

Vector sum of momentum before collision = vector sum of momentum after collision

103400 = 1400v + 60000

103400 - 60000 = 1400v

43400 = 1400v

v = 43400/ 1400

v = 31 m/s due east

How can humans increase the rate of endangered of extinct species

labwork [276]

I would think A. Reduce Environmental Impacts.

If you build and populate more zoos, some of the endangered species might not be able to survive in captivity

If you introduce new predators they are going to kill all the endangered species and if you pass new laws about land use some people may kill the species

Monochromatic light of wavelength, lambda, is traveling in air. The light then strikes a thin film having an index of refraction

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct option is H

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The index of refraction of coating is $n_1$

The index of refraction of material is $n_2$

Generally the condition for constructive for a thin film interference is mathematically represented

$2 * t = [ m + \frac{1}{2}] \frac{\lambda}{n_1 }$

Here t represents the thickness

For minimum thickness m = 0

So

$2 * t =0 + \frac{1}{2}\frac{\lambda}{n_1 }$

=> $t =\frac{\lambda}{4n_1 }$

Can a falling object reach terminal velocity in outer space? Explain.

Damm [24]

Ith air resistance acting on an object that has been dropped, the object will eventually reach a terminal velocity, which is around 53 m/s (195 km/h or 122 mph) for a human skydiver. ... (On the Moon, the gravitational acceleration is much less than on Earth, approximately 1.6 m/s2.)
