How much force do you push down on the Earth with? (Hint: 1kg is about 2 pounds).​

The force with which I push down on the Earth is PRECISELY equal to the force with which the Earth pushes UP on me.  

I weigh EXACTLY the same amount on the Earth as the Earth weighs on me.  Find THAT amount, and you'll have the answer to the question.

(Hint:  1 kg is a mass, and 2 pounds is a force, so they can never be equal.  1kg weighs about 2.2 pounds IF it happens to be on Earth.  But if the same 1kg is on the Moon, then it weighs about 5.8 ounces.  And if it happens to be on Mars, then it weighs about 13.3 ounces.  The same kilogram weighs different weights in different places.)

On a good day, I push down on the Earth with about 890 Newtons of force.  No matter how hard I try, I can never push more or less than that.

Answer: 100lbs

Explanation: The Earth pushes you down at 100lbs, so you push down the earth by 100lbs which is enough to keep you firmly attached to the ground and not allow you to jump more than a couple of feet.

WILL MARK BRAINLIESTFor the simple harmonic motion equation d =4sin(8pit) what is the period?
shtirl [24]
The period of any wave is the time it takes for its angle
to go from zero to 2pi .

The 'sin' function is a wave.  The angle of this one is (8pi t).

When t=0, the angle is zero.
Wonderful.
Now, how long does it take for the angle to grow to 2pi ?

I*n other words, when is (8pi t) = 2pi ?

Divide each side by '2pi': . . . . . 4 t = 1

Divide each side by ' 4 ': . . . . . t = 1/4

And there you are.  Every time 't' grows by 1/4, (8pi t) grows by 2pi.
So if you graph this simple harmonic motion described by 'd', you'll
see the graph wiggle up and down with a period of 1/4 .

A myopic (nearsighted) lawyer has a far point of 60.0 cm. What is the diopter value of suitable corrective contacts?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

P = -1.67 dP

Explanation:

given,

myopic lawyer has a far point of = 60.0 cm = 0.6 m

If a person is suffering from myopia then he cannot see the farthest object clearly.

Image of far object does not form on the retina so, the image appear to be blur.

using lens formula

      \dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u} = \dfrac{1}{f}

                -\dfrac{1}{0.6} = \dfrac{1}{f}

                     \dfrac{1}{f} =P

                              P = -\dfrac{1}{0.6}

                              P = -1.67 dP
