What was the trend in the size of the US military between 1939 and 1945?

Between 1939 and 1945, the size of the US military experienced a dramatic increase due to World War II. In 1939, the military was relatively small, with around 334,000 personnel. By the end of the war in 1945, the number had swelled to approximately 12 million, reflecting a massive mobilization effort to support the war effort and respond to global conflicts. This expansion was driven by the need for a large fighting force to engage in multiple theaters of war.


How did the increase size and power of military forces make fighting more likely?

because it is more likely opposing forces will meet by chance


When did Hitler begin to rebuild Germany's army?

He started doing it in secret in 1933 because after WWI, Germany had military restrictions placed on it by the Allies and The Treaty of Versailles. In 1935 though, Hitler felt as if he was powerful enough to declare to the world that he had greatly (and illegally) expanded German's military to include 300,000 men in the army (was supposed to be limited to 100,000) and 2,500 planes in his air force (They were supposed to be banned from having an air force at all!). Hitler then announced that he would increase the size of the army beyond that even, to 550,000 men and that military service would be made mandatory.


Did Germany agreed to limit the size of its Army after World War 1?

Yes, Germany agreed to limit the size of its army after World War I as part of the Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919. The treaty restricted the German military to 100,000 troops and prohibited conscription, along with limiting the size of its navy and banning an air force. These restrictions were intended to prevent Germany from becoming a military threat in the future.

When calculating moment of force what two changes can be made to increase the size of the moments?

To increase the size of the moment of force, you can increase the magnitude of the applied force or increase the distance from the pivot point at which the force is applied. Both of these changes will result in a larger moment of force.

What increases the size of a friction force?

The size of a friction force increases with an increase in the normal force pressing the surfaces together. It also increases with a rougher surface texture and an increase in the coefficient of friction between the surfaces.


How can you increase the size of a force?

You can increase the size of a force by applying more physical effort, using a mechanical advantage like a lever or pulley system, or increasing the mass of an object that the force is acting upon. Additionally, having more force-generating components, like in a team working together, can help increase the overall force applied.

What type of mechanism would be used to increase torque or force?

Gearing mechanisms, such as gear trains or pulley systems, can be used to increase torque or force. By changing the size of the gears or pulleys, leverage can be amplified to generate greater torque or force output.


When a machine shortens the distance over which a force is exerted the size of the force must what?

When a machine shortens the distance over which a force is exerted, the size of the force must increase in order to conserve energy. This is governed by the principle of work-energy relationship, where the work done remains constant, and therefore, force and distance are inversely proportional in a simple machine.
