Hi!


Mechanical advantage is defined as the<em> ratio of force produced by an object to the force that is applied to it.</em>

In our case, this would be the ratio of the force applied by the claw hammer on the nail to the force Joel applies to the claw hammer, which is

160:40 or 4:1

So the mechanical advantage of the hammer is four.


Hope this helps!

(Another tomato/skyscraper problem.) You are looking out your window in a skyscraper, and again your window is at a height of 45
Ivan

Answer:

1027.2 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{450-\frac{1}{2}\times 32.2\times 2^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow u=192.8\ ft/s

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{192.8^2-0^2}{2\times 32.2}\\\Rightarrow s=577.20\ m

The height the tomato would fall is 450+577.2 = 1027.2 m

In at least 150 words, discuss how Chang's use of personification, metaphor, or connotation express one his themes in "Garden of
Kay [80]
<span>Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind.</span>

3-m-high large tank is initially filled with water. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and a sharp-edged 10-cm-di
irinina [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the water from the tank is 5.42 m/s

Explanation:

By applying Bernoulli equation between  point 1 and 2

\dfrac{P_1}{\rho g}+\dfrac{V_1^2}{2g}+Z_1=\dfrac{P_2}{\rho g}+\dfrac{V_2^2}{2g}+Z_2+h_L

At the point 1

P₁=0  ( Gauge pressure)

V₁= 0 m/s

Z₁=3 m

At point 2

P₂=0  ( Gauge pressure)

Z₂= 0 m/s

h_L=1.5\ m

Now by putting the values

\dfrac{P_1}{\rho g}+\dfrac{V_1^2}{2g}+Z_1=\dfrac{P_2}{\rho g}+\dfrac{V_2^2}{2g}+Z_2+h_L

Z_1-h_L=\dfrac{V_2^2}{2g}

3-1.5=\dfrac{V_2^2}{2\times 9.81}

V_2=\sqrt{2\times 1.5\times 9.81}\ m/s

V₂= 5.42 m/s

The initial velocity of the water from the tank is 5.42 m/s

There are devices to put in a light socket that control the current through a lightbulb, thereby increasing its lifetime. Which
Dmitrij [34]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Limiting the maximum current through the bulb. This will help in preserving or improving the bulb's lifetime and also this won't have an effect on the brightness of the bulb as brightness is affected by the average value. Although brightness is a factor of current, reducing the maximum current won't have any bearing on the average current the bulb is getting.
