Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 4

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance of effort, de = 8m

Distance of ramp, dr = 2m

To find the mechanical advantage;

Mechanical advantage = de/dr

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Mechanical advantage = 8/2

Mechanical advantage = 4

If it takes 150 N of force to move a box. 10 meters, what is the work done on

Scrat [10]

Answer:

C ) 1500 Joules

Explanation:

In the attached image, we can see how the box was moved 10 meters by the force of 150 N.

The definition of work is W = F * d

therefore

W= 150*10 = 1500 J

An proton-antiproton pair is produced by a 2.20 × 10 3 MeV photon. What is the kinetic energy of the antiproton if the kinetic e

timama [110]

Answer:

K = 80.75 MeV

Explanation:

To calculate the kinetic energy of the antiproton we need to use conservation of energy:

$E_{ph} = E_{p} + E_{ap} = E_{0p} + K_{p} + E_{0ap} + K_{ap} = m_{0p}c^{2} + K_{p} + m_{0ap}c^{2} + K_{ap}$

<em>where $E_{ph}$ : is the photon energy, $E_{0p} and E_{0ap}$ : are the rest energies of the proton and the antiproton, respectively, equals to m₀c², $K_{p} and K_{ap}$ : are the kinetic energies of the proton and the antiproton, respectively, c: speed of light, and m₀: rest mass.</em>

Therefore the kinetic energy of the antiproton is:

$K_{ap} = E_{ph} - m_{0p}c^{2} - K_{p} - m_{0ap}c^{2}$

<u>The proton mass is equal to the antiproton mass, so</u>:

$K_{ap} = E_{ph} - 2m_{0p}c^{2} - K_{p}$

$K_{ap} = 2.20 \cdot 10^{3}MeV - 2(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(3\cdot 10^{8} \frac {m}{s})^{2} - 242.85MeV$

$K_{ap} = 2.20 \cdot 10^{3}MeV - 2(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(3\cdot 10^{8} \frac {m}{s})^{2}(\frac{1eV}{1.602 \cdot 10^{-19}J})(\frac{1 MeV}{10^{6}eV}) - 242.85MeV$

$K_{ap} = 80.75 MeV$

Hence, the kinetic energy of the antiproton is 80.75 MeV.

I hope it helps you!

Juan amd kym have four samples of matter. They are observing and describing the properties of these samples. Which property will

TiliK225 [7]

Answer: The property that will best provide evidence that the samples are solid includes:

--> if the substance has a definite shape,

-->if the substance has a definite volume

--> if it's tightly packed.

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory of matter, every substance consist of very large number of very small particles called molecules. These molecules, which are made up of atoms that are the smallest particles of a substance that can exist in a free state.

Matter can exist in the following states:

--> Solid state

--> liquid state or

--> Gaseous state.

The general property of a substance that is in gaseous state includes:

--> Definite shape: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it's shape is fixed that is, it doesn't depend on the shape of other materials.

--> Definite volume: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it occupies its own shape. This is due to the force of cohesion among its molecules.

--> Tightly packed: A substance can be grouped as solid if the molecular movements of the particles are negligible.

From the samples under observation by Juan and kym, if the sample that possesses the above described qualities, it is a solid rather than liquid or gas.
