Explanation:

The mechanical advantage(M.A) of a real machine is always less than its velocity ratio(V.R) because mechanical advantage decreases due to the friction and weight of moving parts of the machine whereas the velocity ratio remains constant. ... Because of friction, air resistance, this Ideal situation would never be achieved.

Answer:

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

In theory, the gravitational pull between the planets depends on their total mass and the distance between them. The sun has a mass of $1.989x10^{30}$ kg, Jupiter has a mass of $1.898x10^{27}$ kg and Earth has a mass of $5.972x10^{24}$ kg.

Earth is closer to Jupiter than it is to the sun. The other planets that are behind jupiter are gone so that means the sun's pulling force's effect on jupiter is increased drastically since there is no force the balance that and that means that jupiter is going to get closer to earth.

The new center of mass of the new solar system is roughly located between earth and the sun, closer to earth.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:

2 m = E / c^2 where m is mass of electron

E = h v where v is the frequency ( nu) of the incident photon

E = h c / y where y is the incident wavelength (lambda)

2 m = h / (c y)

y = h / (2 m c) wavelength required
