When does a wheel and axle have a mechanical advantage greater than one ?

Great question!

<span> mechanical advantage is the factor of which a machine multiplies the force put into it. For example, if a simple machine has a mechanical advantage of 3 it means that it made the work you did 3 times easier or you only had to put in 1/3 the force you would have if you didn’t have the simple machine.
</span>
To calculate the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle you must divide the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle.<span>Therefore larger wheels means that the speed of the wheels is faster than the speed of the axle and for each rotation the axle makes the wheels are making multiple rotations. A mechanical advantage of 5 means that the wheels are moving 5 times faster than the axle.
</span>
<span>F = MA= radius of wheel/radius of axle</span>, this is 1 when the radius of both the wheel and axle are the same,and greater than one when the radius of the axle is less than the radius of the wheel.

White meat contains less syoglobin than red meat. Red meat contains more ( slow-twitch / fast-twitch) muscles than white meat do
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Slow-twitch

Explanation:

Red meat is rich in slow-twitch muscle fibers. The slow-twitch muscle fibers are rich in myoglobin and blood capillaries. They also have many large mitochondria to generate ATP by aerobic respiration.

These fibers are slow-twitch fibers as the ATPase in myosin head carries out the hydrolysis of ATP at a slower rate causing a slower contraction cycle.

Slow-twitch fibers appear red due to a large amount of myoglobin and a rich network of blood vessels. They are capable of prolonged contractions and are fatigue resistant.

What is the difference between an excitatory postsynaptic potential and an inhibitory postsynaptic
Vikki [24]

Answer:

A postsynaptic potential is defined as excitatory if it makes it easier for the neuron to fire an action potential. ... A postsynaptic potential is considered inhibitory when the resulting change in membrane voltage makes it more difficult for the cell to fire an action potential, lowering the firing rate of the neuron.
