A can opener makes work easier by increasing force.

Explanation

Technically a can opener is a simple lever that increases the force with which we remove the cap of the can. Levers are rod shaped objects with fulcrum at one end and the length of the lever has a positive impact on the force.

considering  the equation

work=force*distance

indicates that increasing the length of the lever/can opener increases the work done by it.

Answer:

Avoid downed power lines and stay away from buildings and bridges from which heavy objects might fall during an aftershock. Stay away until local officials tell you it is safe. A tsunami is a series of waves that may continue for hours. Do not assume that after one wave the danger is over.

Which switch configuration creates a short circuit?
lara31 [8.8K]
I think the answer would be Switch 1 open; switches 2, 3, and 4 closed. It is letter D. This will happen when there is a low resistance and a high circuit so from the choices above, when two bulbs are open and one bulb is close, so there is a low resistance and high voltage.

A 2000 kg car is driving at 5 m/s on wet asphalt, but then makes a turn on some ice and loses control. The driver applies brakes
lesya [120]

Answer:

10,000kgm/s

Explanation:

Since we not told what to look for, we can as well find the momentum of the car.

momentum = mas * velocity

Given

Mass of the car = 2000kg

velocity = 5m/s

Substitute into the formula

Momentum = 2000 * 5

Momentum = 10000kgm/s

Hence the momentum of the car is 10,000kgm/s
