josh opens a soda can by pulling on the tab. The picture shows josh opening the soda can. the cap is pulling upward at 15 cm and going down at 5 cm. This tab is a simple machine. What is the machine advantage of the tab?
MA=output/input
A).7
B)3.0
C)9.0
D)21.0
To find the machine advantage of the tab, we need to calculate the ratio of the output distance (15 cm) to the input distance (5 cm):
MA = output distance / input distance
MA = 15 cm / 5 cm
Therefore, the machine advantage of the tab is 3.0.
The correct answer is B) 3.0.
