Both systems have benefits and disadvantages.

Benefits of the Metric System

<span>Easier for anything involving conversions.Celsius is based on the the freezing and boiling points of water.Is the most popular system of measurement worldwide. This gives interchangeability internationally.Other systems of measurement, like U.S. standard units, are tied directly to metric units so they can be converted back and forth.<span>You can sell to the government since governments (including the U.S. government) require government contractors to use the metric system for most things.</span></span>

They're able to understand the results of each others' work, and
repeat someone else's work if they want to, much faster, easier,
and more accurately than if they had to first convert it to different
units.

Lana71 [14]

complete question:

An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°. What is the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground? Round to the nearest foot

Answer:

a ≈  5281 ft

Explanation:

The observer at the top of a 462 ft cliff  measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°.

The angle of depression form the top of the cliff = 5°

The 5° is outside the triangle formed . To find the angle in the triangle we have to subtract 5° from 90°.  90° - 5° = 85° Note sum of an angle on a right angle is 90°.  

using SOHCAHTOA  principle we can solve for the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground(a)

tan  85° = opposite / adjacent

tan 85°  = a / 462

cross multiply

462 × tan 85° = a

a = 11.4300523 × 462

a =  5280.66  ft

a ≈  5281 ft

F=dP/dt.  So you want the momentum to change as slowly as possible in time to minimize the force.  So as you catch the egg, let your hand move backward with it for awhile, slowly bringing it to a stop.  If you hold your hand steady when you catch it the force due to the impact could break it.

SashulF [63]

Answer: Technician B

Explanation: In manual cars,the clutch safety is designed to stop the vehicle from moving when you start the gnition. It prevents power from flowing into the circuit . This is found in the pedal mechanism of cars so depressing the clutch pedal will likely cause a defective in the clutch safety. You will begin to perceive the clutch burning and white fumes coming out from the pedal.
