From the items on this list, the only one that allows calculation
of the mechanical advantage is 'B' ... the lengths from the fulcrum
to the effort and the resistance.

The MA can also be calculated when you know the two forces ...
the effort and the resistance ... when the lever is just balanced.

Answer:

Option B)

the length of the effort arm and the length of the resistance arm

Explanation:

A lever is a simple machine with a point fulcrum known also as a hinge. The lever helps to rotate the body and vary the input force and output force to get maximum mechanical advantage.

Mechanical advantage of a lever is the ratio of the output force to input force.

When there is no friction or other forces this mechanical advantage can also be calculated as the ratio of length of effort arm to length of resistance arm.

Hence option B is right.

As a space shuttle moves through the dilute ionized gas of Earth's ionosphere, the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The amount of charge the space shuttle collects is -1.224nC

Explanation:

The magnitude of Electric potential is given as;

V = kq/r

where;

V is the electric potential in volts

k is coulomb's constant

r is the radius of the sphere or distance moved by the charge

given;  V = -1.1 V, k = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C², r = 10m

Substituting this values in the above equation, we estimate the amount of charge space shuttle collects.

q = (V*r)/k

q = (-1.1 *10)/(8.99 x 10⁹ )

q = -1.224 X 10⁻⁹ C

q = -1.224nC

Therefore, the amount of charge the space shuttle collects is -1.224nC

The human eye can respond to as little as 10^−18 J of light energy. For a wavelength at the peak of visual sensitivity, 550 nm,
Bumek [7]
<span>The key equation is going to come from Mr Planck: E=h \nu

Where h is Plancks constant; and ν is the frequency. This equation gives you the energy per photon at a given frequency. Alas, you're given wavelength, but that's easy enough to convert to frequency given the following equation:

c= lambda / nu

where c is the speed of light; λ (lambda) is the wavelength; and ν is again frequency. As soon as you know the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 550nm, you should know how many photons you would require to accumulate 10^-18J. Be careful with your units.</span>

Dawn and Aram have stretched a slinky between them and begin experimenting with waves. As the frequency of the waves is doubled
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

halved

Explanation:

The velocity of the a wave is obtained by multiplying the frequency and wavelength.

v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Where

v = Velocity

f = Frequency

\lambda = Wavelength

The velocity here is constant. So, if the frequency is doubled the wavelength is halved.

A 1.47-newton baseball is dropped from a height of 10.0 meters and falls through the air to the ground. The kinetic energy of th
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The maximum amount of mechanical energy converted to internal energy during the fall is 26.7 joules

Explanation:

Potential Energy (PE) = weight of baseball × height = 1.47N × 10m = 14.7Nm = 14.7 joules

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 12 joules

Maximum amount of mechanical energy converted to internal energy during the fall = PE + KE = 14.7 joules + 12 joules = 26.7 joules

A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou
irakobra [83]

Answer:

λ = 3.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 320 nm

Explanation:

The relationship between the velocity of electromagnetic waves (UV rays) and the their frequency is:

v = fλ

where,

v = c = speed of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = speed of light

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = 9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz

λ = wavelength of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = ?

Therefore, substituting the values in the relation, we get:

3 x 10⁸ m/s = (9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)(λ)

λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)

<u>λ = 3.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 320 nm</u>

So, the radiation of <u>320 nm</u> wavelength is absorbed by Ozone.
