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.

A motorcycle begins at rest and accelerates uniformly S7.9 we want to find a time to take the motorcycle to reach a speed of 100
Len [333]

The motorbike reaches 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds

Explanation:

The motion of the motorbike is a uniformly accelerated motion (= constant acceleration), therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the motorbike in this problem,

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

v = 100 km/h = 27.8 m/s is the final velocity

a=7.9 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Solving for t, we find the time it takes for the bike to reach that velocity:

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{27.8-0}{7.9}=3.5 s

A scientist asked a question that was based on an observation. Which is the next step the scientist should take?
ANTONII [103]
In a scientific procedure, the scientist asked a question or several questions based on an observation. After asking such questions, the scientist must form a hypothesis based on the observations made and design an experiment. Hypothesis is an educated guess necessary in a scientific procedure.

Uma massa de 500 Kg desloca-se com velocidade 58 km por hora. Calcule o módulo de sua quantidade por movimento
Simora [160]

The momentum of the object is 8050 kg m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is defined as

p=mv

where

p is the momentum

m is the mass

v is the velocity of the object

For the object in this problem, we have

m = 500 kg is its mass

v = 58 km/h is its velocity

Converting the velocity into m/s,

v=58 \frac{km}{h}\cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=16.1 m/s

Therefore now we can find the momentum of the object:

p=(500)(16.1)=8050 kg m/s
