The equation for gear ratio
Ymorist [56]
In a gear train with two gears, the gear ratio is defined as follows
R= \frac{\omega _A}{\omega _B} 

where \omega _A is the angular velocity of the input gear while \omega _B is the angular velocity of the output gear. 

This can be rewritten as a function of the number of teeth of the gears. In fact, the angular velocity of a gear is inversely proportional to the radius r of the gear:
\omega = \frac{v}{r}
But the radius is proportional to the number of teeth N of the gear. Therefore we can rewrite the gear ratio also as
R= \frac{\omega _A}{\omega _B} = \frac{r_B}{r_A} = \frac{N_B}{N_A}

You throw a 50.0g blob of clay directly at the wall with an initial velocity of -5.00 m/s i. The clay sticks to the wall, and th
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:0.25 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of blob m=50 gm

initial velocity u=-5 m/s\ \hat{i}

time of collision t=20 ms

we know Impulse is equal to change in momentum

initial momentum P_i=mu

P_i=50\times 10^{-3}\times (-5)=-0.25 kg-m/s

Final momentum P_f=50\times 10^{-3}v

P_f=0 as final velocity is zero

Impulse J=P_f-P_i

J=0-(-0.25)

J=0.25 kg-m/s

A book that weighs 19 Newtons sits on a table. With what force
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

We know there's two forces acting on a book while it sits on a table:the force of gravity pulling it down, and the normal force of the table acting upward on the book. The book isn't accelerating while it sits there. That's because the weight of the book is being counteracted by the normal force of the table.

Explanation:

There are two forces acting upon the book. One force - the Earth's gravitational pull - exerts a downward force. The other force - the push of the table on the book (sometimes referred to as a normal force) - pushes upward on the book.

A large spool in an electrician's workshop has 65 m of insulation-coated wire coiled around it. When the electrician connects a
Art [367]

Answer:

40.34\ \text{m}

Explanation:

L_1 = Length of wire = 65 m

I_1 = Initial current = 1.8 A

I_2 = Final current = 2.9 A

We know

R\propto \dfrac{1}{I}

and

R\propto L

\dfrac{V}{I}\propto L\\\Rightarrow L\propto \dfrac{1}{I}

so

\dfrac{L_2}{L_1}=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}L_1\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{1.8}{2.9}\times 65\\\Rightarrow L_2=40.34\ \text{m}

The length of the wire remaining on the spool is 40.34\ \text{m}.

What is the difference between beta plus and minus
Minchanka [31]
Beta decay is very complex phenomena in natural radioactive decay. There are 3 types of Beta decay.

B+ decay (Beta plus or Beta positive or positron decay):

is the conversion of a proton into a neutron plus a positron and an electron neutrino.

B- decay (Beta negative or Beta nought):

is the conversion  of a neutron into a proton plus an electron and a electron antineutrino. 

Note: a positron is the a positive electron or the antiparticle of the electron.

Hope it helps
