Answer:

B

Explanation:

Formula

Mechanical advantage = length of the ramp / height

Givens

Length of the ramp = 8

Mechanical advantage = 2

height = ?

Solution

2 = 8feet / height                                  Multiply both sides by height

2* height = 8 feet * height / height      Combine

2* height  = 8 feet                                 Divide by 2

2*height/2 = 8 feet/2                              

height = 4 feet.

How much thermal energy is created when a 3000 kg suv brakes to a stop from 20 m/s on a level road?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

b. 600,000 J

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of energy,

The thermal energy created = Kinetic energy of the suv.

Q' = 1/2(mv²)............... Equation 1

Where Q' = Thermal energy, m = mass of the suv, v = velocity of the suv.

From the question,

Given: m = 3000 kg, v = 20 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q' = 1/2(3000×20²)

Q' = 600000 J

Hence the right option is b. 600,000 J

A hammer exerts 49.8 N of force on the head (r=0.00510 m) of a nail. How much pressure does it exert on the nail?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

609547.12 Pa ≈ 6.10×10^5 Pa

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This include the following:

Force (F) = 49.8 N

Radius (r) = 0.00510 m

Pressure (P) =..?

Step 2:

Determination of the area of the head of the nail.

The head of a nail is circular in nature. Therefore, the area is given by:

Area (A) = πr²

With the above formula we can obtain the area as follow:

Radius (r) = 0.00510 m

Area (A) =?

A = πr²

A = π x (0.00510)²

A = 8.17×10^-5 m²

Therefore the area of the head of the nail is 8.17×10^-5 m²

Step 3:

Determination of the pressure exerted by the hammer.

This is illustrated below:

Force (F) = 49.8 N

Area (A) = 8.17×10^-5 m²

Pressure (P) =..?

Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)

P = F/A

P = 49.8/8.17×10^-5

P = 609547.12 N/m²

Now, we shall convert 609547.12 N/m² to Pa.

1 N/m² = 1 Pa

Therefore, 609547.12 N/m² = 609547.12 Pa.

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the hammer on the nail is 609547.12 Pa or 6.10×10^5 Pa

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

When we analyze the sentence we see that this is a hypotype with the growth of plants must behave and it has a prediction included.

Therefore the correct answer is a

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to identify the given sentence with a specific part of the scientific method.

Among the parts of the method we have.

* Independent variable . The controlled variable in research

*Dependent variable. The magnitude measured in the experiment

* Control variable. The magnitude that is not controlled

*Experiment. It is the design of the procedure to evaluate the hypothesis

* Hypothesis. It is the assumption with which scientific work begins

* Prediction. It is a consequence of work if the mortgage is correct.

When we analyze the sentence we see that this is a hypotype with the growth of plants must behave and it has a prediction included.

Therefore the correct answer is a

How does a television have a negative effect on the environment
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Too much screen time can be a bad thing: Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. Kids who view violent acts on TV are more likely to show aggressive behavior, and to fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. When we considered the whole television chain of production, distribution and consumption, we found that the largest environmental impact associated with a television programme was not the energy consumed in making it, but the energy used by the millions of televisions, set-top boxes and other consumer devices involved
