When you break a plank the length of plank from the break point to the nearest end acts as a 'leaver' the longer the leaver the greater the mechanical efficiency. Therefore a long plank will be easier to break (provided you try and break it near the middle).
Friction will waste more work on longer planes because the force of friction acts against the direction of motion for a longer period of time. This results in more work being done to overcome friction and move the object along the longer plane.
In photography, the focal length of a lens affects the working distance, which is the distance between the camera and the subject being photographed. A longer focal length typically results in a longer working distance, while a shorter focal length results in a shorter working distance. This relationship is important to consider when composing shots and determining how close or far away you need to be from your subject.
No, resistance depends on the material, cross-sectional area, and temperature of the wire. A shorter wire will have less resistance compared to a longer wire since it offers less opposition to the flow of electrical current.
is a much hotter object compared to Earth, so it emits higher-energy, shorter-wavelength radiation in the form of visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared. Earth, being cooler, emits longer-wavelength radiation in the form of infrared.
A wave with a shorter wavelength carries more energy than a wave with a longer wavelength. This is because shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies, which means they have more oscillations per unit time, resulting in more energy being transferred by the wave.
Other things (cross-section, material) being equal, a longer piece of conductor has more resistance (i.e., less conductance) than a shorter piece.
Because if the shorter leg was shorter than the longer leg was long, then the longer leg wouldn't be longer than the shorter leg is short. The short leg would be the longer one rather than the long one being the short one.
Everything else being equal, a shorter bridge is stronger: it will weigh less, and therefore will not have to support so much of its own weight.
Approximately 72.2 years. Some lives are shorter and longer.
work harder and longer than you're paid for, unless you're a celebrity chef
No, adding a syllable to a word typically makes it longer, as more sounds are being added. It is unlikely for a word to become shorter by adding a syllable.
A clone can not live as long as you it can live shorter or longer but mostley shorter. A clone can live as long as it wants. Why do we need a clone? Do you think that a clone could feel like a natural being like us, can it feel frustrated, sad, joy or even hunger?
Some may, but being a former Vietnam POW does not automatically mean that one has a shorter, or longer, than normal life expectancy.
Rotation of planets depends on their history of being hit by other planetoids ... thus it is entirely random.
The disadvantage of being shorter as a boxer , is that you wiil automatically have a shorter reach then the other boxer.
There is a higher risk for cancer, heart attacks, diabetes and many other things. Not only is there a higher risk of getting these things but it is also harder to survive these things by being over weight.
All things that are discontinued are no longer being produced.
