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.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:   The correct answer is :  A, B, C, D.  All statements are correct.

Explanation:  This case is called non-competitive inhibition. As a result of the inhibition of the enzyme, there will eventually be less substrate that becomes the final product and this route will be closed. Enzyme 1 has two binding sites.

What is a charge? how objects can be charged? short answer pls​
nevsk [136]

Answer:

An electrical charge is created when electrons are transferred to or removed from an object. Because electrons have a negative charge, when they are added to an object, it becomes negatively charged. When electrons are removed from an object, it becomes positively charged.

Can someone help me a bit on this? Will mark brainliest. ( no physical science option soooo)
Advocard [28]

Answer:

When a light wave goes through a slit, it is diffracted, which means the slit opening acts as a new source of waves. How much a light wave diffracts<em> (how much it fans out)</em> depends on the wavelength of the incident light. The wavelength must be larger than the width of the slit for the maximum diffraction. Thus, for a given slit, red light, because it has a longer wavelength, diffracts more than the blue light.

The corresponding relation for diffraction is

d sin(\theta) \approx \lambda,

where \lambda is the wavelength of light, d is the slit width, and \theta is the diffraction angle.

From this relation we clearly see that the diffraction angle \theta is directly proportional to the wavelength  \lambda of light—longer the wavelength larger the diffraction angle.
