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

5) [Honors]A seagull, ascending straight upward at 5.2 m/s, drops a shell when it is 12.5m above the ground. (A)
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

(B) 13.9 m

(C) 1.06 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 5.2 m/s

y₀ = 12.5 m

(A) The acceleration in free fall is -9.8 m/s².

(B) At maximum height, v = 0 m/s.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (5.2 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (y − 12.5 m)

y = 13.9 m

(C) When the shell returns to a height of 12.5 m, the final velocity v is -5.2 m/s.

v = at + v₀

-5.2 m/s = (-9.8 m/s²) t + 5.2 m/s

t = 1.06 s

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin
ELEN [110]
C is correct.  The work-force relation is given by W=F·d, where F is force vector, and d is the displacement vector.  The dot is the dot product, which is a measure of how parallel the two vectors are.  It can be restated as the product of two vector magnitudes times the cosine of the angle between them.  Therefore work is a scalar, not a vector, since the dot product returns a scalar.  
W=Fdcos(\theta)

Question 7 of 25
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

2PBr₃ + 3Cl₂ → 2PCl₃ + 3Br₂

2Na + MgCl₂ → 2NaCl + Mg

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation is a chemical equation that have an equal number of elements of each type on both sides of the equation

Among the given chemical reactions, we have;

2PBr₃ + 3Cl₂ → 2PCl₃ + 3Br₂

In the above reaction;

The number of phosphorus, P, on either side of the equation = 2

The number of bromine atoms, Br, on either side of the equation = 6

The number of chlorine atoms, Cl, on either side of the equation = 6

Therefore, the number of elements in the reactant side and products side of the reaction are equal and the reaction is balanced

The second balanced chemical reaction is 2Na + MgCl₂ → 2NaCl + Mg

In the above reaction, there are two sodium atoms, Na,  one magnesium atom and two chlorine atoms on both sides of the reaction, therefore, the reaction is balanced

The process that enhances some properties of an object at the expense of other properties is called:
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The answer is: letter a, pop-out effect.

Explanation:

The "pop-out effect" is a phenomenon which allows the person's precognitive processes to detect a<em> visual stimulus that is potentially the most meaningful one</em> in a person's spatial field of attention. The pop-up effect occurs when a person distinguishes one object from the rest.

For example, when a child chooses among pictures in different colors, it is common for the child to point at colored pictures rather than grayscale pictures. This is an example of a pop-out effect. <u>The properties of the colored pictures is more preferred by the child thus, causing him not to choose or mind the grayscale images.</u>

Thus, this explains the answer.

Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 17,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences, in
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

0.01606 Newtons

Explanation:

r = Distance between the asteroid and Sally = 17000000 m

m₁ = Mass of the asteroid = 8.7× 10²⁰ kg

m₂ = Mass of Sally = 80 kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

From Newton's Universal law of gravity

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{8.7\times 10^{20}\times 80}{17000000^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.01606\ N

The force Sally experiences is 0.01606 Newtons
