Answer:

A rectangular object may have different areas for different sides.

If that object is placed on a hand, the area of its side does not affects the Force. However the pressure it puts on the hand is affected by the area.

Explanation:

The Force that object applies on the hand is given as the product of its mass and gravitational acceleration 'g'. Hence area does not affect the Force and it is constant.

F = mg

Pressure is defined as the Force per unit area.

P = F/A

As the surface area decreases and Force remains constant, the pressure on the hand increases and vice versa.

What body systems help these cells get the energy they need?
MakcuM [25]

The body systems that help cells get the energy they need are the digestive system and circulatory system. The first system is the digestive system because when you eat food, your body breaks it down using the stomach and other different parts of the digestive system.  The next one is the circulatory system because your blood carries the nutrients you acquired from food you digested to the cells throughout your body.

Technician A says that the evacuation process will remove dirt and debris from the refrigerant system. Technician B says that th
GuDViN [60]

Answer: Technician B is right.

Explanation:

Evacuation process is used in refrigeration systems to remove moisture, air and non-profit condensable gases in order to achieve maximum function of the system.

vacuum pump is used to draw the sealed AC system into a vacuum. Evacuation of a refrigerant system also helps to maintain pressure, this is so as pulling a vacuum on the system is simply removing matter (mostly air and nitrogen) from inside the system so that the pressure inside drops below atmospheric pressure.
