Two people carry a weight on a pole. If the weight is moved closer to person A, who bears more of the load?
Answer: Person A
The person nearer the load supports a greater share of the weight.
A screw with threads closer together (finer threads) will do what compared to a coarse screw?
Answer: Require less force but more turns
Finer threads give greater mechanical advantage, needing less force but more turning.
Which mirror image correctly shows the word 'CODE' reflected in a vertical mirror?
Answer: The letters reversed left-to-right reading 'EDOC' backward
A vertical mirror flips an image left to right.
A heavier flywheel compared to a lighter one will do what once spinning?
