Amotor spins a gear with eight teeth. that gear is attached to a gear with 56 teeth. what is the gear ratio

a: 10: 1
b: 1: 7
c: 1: 8
d: 56: 1

B) 1:7

Explanation:

the question is asking for the ratio of the first gear to the second gear:

first gear:second gear=8:56

we can simplify this ratio:

8:56=1:7

so the correct option should be B

hope this helps

if the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force on the object.

explanation:

this is best explained by having an understanding of newton's second law, which states that f=ma. you see, when the forces are unbalanced, net force (sum of all forces) is not zero. therefore making it necessary for the object to have an acceleration in the direction of the net force.
