PHYSICS MIDDLE SCHOOL

Lifting a bale of cotton is no easy task. Farmer Jones wanted to store the cotton in the loft of his barn but he could not budge the bale. He consulted the high school's science teacher for help. She suggested a simple machine. Farmer Jones' options included an inclined plane, a fixed pulley, a block and tackle, and a lever. If he had to lift the bale of cotton to a height of fifteen feet, which would be the MOST practical solution?

A) lever
B) screw
C) inclined plane
D) block and tackle (pulley)

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: An inclined plane would not be practical because he would still have to push it and the amount of effort and energy would increase. A lever would not be practical because he would have to use his weight to make the bale rise 15 feet. He would also need to make sure that he has a 15 foot ladder in the first place. A screw would not be practical because he would have to drill a hole through the medium and use rotation.

A pulley would be the most practical way of moving the cotton bale. A pulley supports movement and will help the farmer move the bale.

Describe how the resistance of the filament lamp changes as the current through it increases.

Answers

This heats up when an electric current passes through it, and produces light as a result. The resistance of a lamp increases as the temperature of its filament increases. The current flowing through a filament lamp is not directly proportional to the voltage across it.

What is one way that food is mechanically changed during the process of digestion

Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth as the food is chewed. Chemical digestion involves breaking down the food into simpler nutrients that can be used by the cells. Chemical digestion begins in the mouth when food mixes with saliva. Saliva contains an enzyme (amylase) that begins the breakdown of carbohydrates.

Which of the following describes the energy transformation that takes place when a boy eats an apple and then lifts weights?1. Chemical energy is converted to mechanical and heat energy.
2.Chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy.
3. Chemical energy is converted to heat energy.
4. Chemical energy is converted to mechanical and kinetic energy.

Answers

the correct answer is 1. Chemical energy is converted to mechanical and heat energy.

When the boy eats apple, the chemical energy of the apple first converted in the heat energy in the process of digestion, which maintains our body temperature, than the body of the boy converts the heat energy into mechanical energy.

Therefore the correct option is 1.

Answer:

Chemical energy is converted to mechanical and heat energy.

Explain how the meanings of the terms biotic factor and abiotic factor differ ?

Answers

Hi There!

Biotic factors are all the living things in an ecosystem, and abiotic factors are all of the non-living things in an ecosystem. So, they differ because they both mean opposite things.

What do you think your weight would be if you were floating in space a long way from any planets?Explain your answer.

Answers

there will be less weight on space than on earth because there is no gravity on space
Your weight will be less than on Earth because in space there is no or very less gravitational pull. There are no planets forming any magnetic fields for other objects to be attracted to.
