A wedge is a machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and thick end. A wedge is used to cut or split apart objects. wedge, in mechanics, device that tapers to a thin edge, usually made of metal or wood, and used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as to secure a hammer head onto its handle. Along with the lever, wheel and axle, pulley, and screw, the wedge is considered one of the five simple machines.

Answer:

A wedge is a machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and thick end. A wedge is used to cut or split apart objects. Force is applied to the thick end of the wedge, and the wedge applies force to the object along both of its sloping sides. This force causes the object to split apart

A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.95 m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of a
Aleks [24]

volume of balloon

= 4/3 T R3

= 4/3 x 3.14 x 6.953

= 1405.47 m3

uplift force

= volume of balloon x density of air x 9.8

= = 1405.47 x 1.29 x 9.8

= 1813.05 x 9.8 N

weight of helium gas

= volume of balloon x density of helium x

9.8

= 1405.47 x .179 x 9.8

= 251.58 x 9.8 N

Weight of other mass = 930 x 9.8 N Total weight acting downwards

= 251.58 x 9.8 +930 x 9.8

= 1181.58 x 9.8 N

If W be extra weight the uplift can balance

1181.58 × 9.8 + W × 9.8 = 1813.05 * 9.8

1181.58+W=1813.05

W= 631.47 kg

ale4655 [162]
C) is correct

series circuit - in the same path : current flow on one path so they are equal on each component and equal to the source's. voltage on each components may be different.

parallel circuit - between same nodes : voltage of the components are equal and equal to the source's. current on each components may be different.
