It is a force do to that way that it pulls objects down and a force is something that pushes or pulls an object so gravity is a force

Explain why the mechanical advantage of a single fixed probably is always one
seropon [69]
Ideal mechanical advantage doesn't take energy lost to friction into account. Explain why the mechanical advantage of a single fixed pulley is always 1. A single fixed pulley changes only the direction of the effort force. ... Energy transforms from the object supplying the force to the object being moved.

If the solar system shrank so that the sun were located just one centimeter from Earth, about how far away could you find the ne
DedPeter [7]
E                  S                                                               *

The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).

The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years

Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.

To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.

As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.

To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles

A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>

The evidence is overwhelming that the Grand Canyon was dug over a span of millions of years by the erosive power of the Colorado
Vesna [10]

Answer:

evolutionary theory

Explanation:

The evidence is overwhelming that the Grand Canyon was dug over a span of millions of years by the erosive power of the Colorado River and that river’s tributary streams.

This evidence does not support catastrophic theory but it does support evolutionary theory, because it was gradual process and took place overtime. It did not happen in a catastrophic manner.

A 91.5 kg football player running east at 2.73 m/s tackles a 63.5 kg player running east at 3.09 m/s. what is their velocity aft
vivado [14]

Their velocity afterwards is 2.88 m/s east

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, for an isolated system (= no external force), the total momentum must be conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

where: in this case:

m_1 = 91.5 kg is the mass of the first player

u_1 = 2.73 m/s is the initial velocity of the first player (choosing east as positive direction)

m_2 = 63.5 kg is the mass of the second player

u_2 = 3.09 m/s is the initial velocity of the second player

v is their combined velocity afterwards

Solving for v, we find:

v = \frac{m_1 u_1+m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(91.5)(2.73)+(63.5)(3.09)}{91.5+63.5}=2.88 m/s

And the sign is positive, so the direction is east.
