Answer: 5

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the formula:

MA=\frac{L}{h}

where L is the length of the slope and h is the height.

In this problem, we have a length of L=10 inches and a height of h=2 inches, so the mechanical advantage is

MA=\frac{10}{2}=5

3. What exerts a greater force on the table of 2 kg book lying flat or a 2 kg book on its
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

A book on its side exerts a greater force.

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Area

Assuming that 1kg = 10N

2kg = 20N

Area of book lying flat = 0.3m × 0.2m

                                     = 0.6m²

Pressure of book lying flat = 20N / 0.6m²

                                            = 30Pa (1 s.f.)

Area of book on its side = 0.2m × 0.05m

                                        = 0.01m²

Pressure of book on its side = 20N / 0.01m²

                                               = 2000Pa (1 s.f.)

Since 2000Pa (1 s.f.) > 30Pa (1 s.f.), a book on its side applies greater pressure than lying flat.

A balloon filled with helium gas at 1.00 atm occupies 15.6 L. Will the volume of the balloon increase or decrease in the upper a
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The volume of the balloon increases in the upper atmosphere.

Explanation:

p1= 1 atm

p2= 0.15 atm

V1= 15.6 L

V2= ?

p1*V1= p2 * V2

V2= (p1/p2)*V1

V2= 104 L

A bicycle is heading West. It goes 5000m in 500s what's its velocity
dybincka [34]
There are several information's of immense importance already given in the question. Based on the given information's the answer to the question can easily be determined.
Distance covered by the bicycle = 5000 meter
Time taken by the bicycle to reach the distance = 500 second.
Velocity of the bicycle = Distance / Time taken
                                   = 5000/500 meter/second
                                   = 50 meter/second
So the velocity of the bicycle is 50 meter per second. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. In future you can always use this procedure for solving similar problems.

Dave and Alex push on opposite ends of a car that has a mass of 875 kg. Dave pushes the car to the right with a force of 250 N,
White raven [17]

The net force acting on the car is 65 N to the left

The net force acting on an object is simply defined as the resultant force acting on the object.

From the question given, we obtained the following data:

  • Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 250 N
  • Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 315 N
  • Net force (Fₙ) =?

The net force acting on the car can be obtained as follow:

Fₙ = Fₗ – Fᵣ

Fₙ = 315 – 250

<h3>Fₙ = 65 N to the left </h3>

Therefore, the net force acting on the car is 65 N to the left
