The statement the mechanical advantage of the lever is 16 is False.

<h3>Mechanical Advantage</h3>

Mechanical advantage MA = d/D where

  • d = distance moved by effort and
  • D = distance moved by load

Given that the effort arm is 8 meters long, d = distance moved by effort = 8 m.

Also, given that the resistance arm is 2 meters long, D = distance moved by load = 2 m.

<h3>Calculating the mechanical advantage</h3>

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

MA = d/D

MA = 8 m/2 m

MA = 4

Since MA = 4, so, the stament is False.

So, the statement the mechanical advantage of the lever is 16 is False.

Two angles are supplementary. The first angle measures 40°. What is the measurement of the second angle?
e-lub [12.9K]

Supplementary angles add up to 180°. 
If one is 40°, then the other is  (180° - 40°)  =  140° .

None of those choices describes a plane. 
Choice 'C' is the only example of a plane.

After a collision between two different massed objects; the larger objects accelerate at a faster rate than the smaller object?
Nitella [24]

Answer: Things continue doing what they are doing unless a force is applied to it. Objects have a natural tendency to resist change. This is INERTIA. Heavier objects (objects with more mass) are more difficult to move and stop. Heavier objects (greater mass) resist change more than lighter objects, so true

Explanation:

Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving. The more massive the object (more inertia) the harder it is to start or stop. The Cadillac has more of a tendency to stay stationary (or continue moving), and resist a change in motion than a bicycle.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In physics, a conservation law states that a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves over time. The exact conservation laws include conservation of energy, and conservation of linear momentum, and also conservation of angular momentum, aswell as the conservation of electric charge
