A scientific theory is an in depth explanation of a observed phenomena And scientific law is simply an observation of the phenomenon that the theory attempts to explain. like when newton saw an apple fall form a tree he observed a phenomena which is called the law of gravity the law states that every time you drop an apple it will fall to the ground and the theory would explan why the apple falls to the ground.

A force of 30 N is applied to a screwdriver to pry the lid off of a can of paint. The screwdriver applies 75 N of force to the l

Ipatiy [6.2K]

The formula of mechanical advantage in this situation is:
MA = Input Force ÷ Output Force

The input force is the 30N applied to a screwdriver while the output force is the 75N force to the lid.

So,

MA = 30N/75N
MA = 0.40

Hence the mechanical advantage of the screwdriver is 0.40.

How am I ment to label this diagram

lora16 [44]

I believe you have to label out the positive metal ion and the delocalized electrons. They're the 2 things that makes up a metal structure.

In the diagram, the circles with the + symbol are the positive metal ions, since + represents positive. And the remaining - circles are the delocalized electrons, as electrons are negative.

And for how a metal conducts electricity, since they're delocalized mobile electrons present in any metal structures, they're able to move away from the metal to the positive side of the battery and more electrons can replace their place flowing from the negative side.
