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

Line segment Q R , Line segment R S and Line segment S Q are midsegments of Î"WXY. Triangle R Q S is inside triangle X Y W. Poin
Whitepunk [10]

The perimeter of ΔWXY is : ( D ) 14.5 cm

<u>Calculating the </u><u>perimeter </u><u>of ΔWXY</u>

QR = WY / 2

RS = XW / 2

QS = XY / 2

Given that : QR = 2.93 cm ,  RS = 2.04 cm,  QS = 2.28 cm

Therefore

Perimeter of ΔWXY = ∑ WY + XW + XY  

                                 = 2SR + 2QS + 2QR

                                 = 2(2.04) + 2(2.28) + 2(2.93)

                                 = 14.5 cm

Hence we can conclude that the perimeter of ΔWXY = 14.5 cm

A single slit is illuminated by light of wavelengths λa and λb, chosen so that the first diffraction minimum of the λa component
agasfer [191]

Answer:

λ_A = 700 nm ,   m_B = m_a 2

Explanation:

The expression that describes the diffraction phenomenon is

         a sin θ = m λ

where a is the width of the slit, lam the wavelength and m an integer that writes the order of diffraction

a) They tell us that now lal_ A m = 1

         a sin θ = λ_A

coincidentally_be m = 2

          a sin  θ = m λ_b

as the two match we can match

         λ _A = 2 λ _B

         λ_A = 2 350 nm

         λ_A = 700 nm

b)

For lam_B

       a sin  λ_A  = m_B  λ_B

For lam_A

        a sin θ_A = m_ λ_ A

to match they must have the same angle, so we can equal

           m_B  λ_B = m_A  λ_A

           m_B = m_A  λ_A / λ_B

           m_b = m_a 700/350

           m_B = m_a 2

The mass of a cm3(cube) stone is 180.
ss7ja [257]

 Density = (mass) / (volume), no matter how large or small the sample is.

We can't calculate the density, because you left out the number for the volume.
Also, you didn't tell us the unit for the mass of 180.

a).  If the mass is 180 grams, then the density is 

                               (180 gm) / (volume) .

b).  No matter how many pieces you crush it into, and
no matter how large or small a piece is, its density is
the same.  (I just wish we knew what the density really is.)

c).  A piece may have 80 grams of mass.  It doesn't "weigh" 80 grams.

Since the density of the whole rock is  (180 gm) / (volume),
the density of any piece of it is  (180 gm) / (volume).

Multiply each side by (volume):   (Density) x (volume) = 180 gm

Divide each side by (density):        Volume = (180 gm) / (density)

We can't calculate the volume of an 80-gm piece, because
we don't know the density.  (That's because you left the volume
out of the question.)

A motorboat embarks on a trip, heading downstream in a river in which the current flows at a rate of 1.5m/s. After 30.0 minutes,
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

t=2413s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity v=1.5m/s

Time t=30min=>30*60=>1800

Distance d=24.3km

Generally the Newton's equation for Speed going down the stream is mathematically given by

 v + u = \frac{d}{t}

 1.5+v=frac{24300}{1800}

 v=12m/s

Therefore

 v + u = \frac{d}{t}

 t=\frac{24300}{12-1.5}

 t=2413s

What feelings do learned helplessness and depression have in common?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Learned helplessness can have a profound impact on mental health and well-being. People who experience learned helplessness are also likely to experience symptoms of depression, elevated stress levels, and less motivation to take care of their physical health. Not everyone responds to experiences the same way.
