Answer:

1 seesaw = first class lever

2. pencil and sharpener = wheel and axle

3. bottle opener = second class lever

4. forearm = third class lever

5. nail = wedge

Explanation:

The given objects are classic examples of simple machines.

Lever: There are 3 types of levers and they depend on where the load, applied force, and fulcrum are.

First class levers have the fulcrum in between the load and the applied force. In other words, the load and applied force are at opposite ends. The seesaw is a good example of this. Other examples would be, pliers, scissors, and the like.

Second class levers have the fulcrum and the applied force at the opposite ends. So in this case, the load is found in between. Examples of this would be a bottle opener or a crowbar.

For third class levers, the load and the fulcrum are at opposite ends and the applied force is in between. The forearm is a good example, so is a stapler, or even a broom.

A wedge is another simple machine. It is thick at one end and it gets thinner towards the other end, or it usually has a sharp end. Other examples of this would be an axe, or a knife.

A sharpener is actually a compound machine. The old-fashioned type of pencil sharpener, the one you crank makes use of a wheel and axle and a wedge. A wheel and axle is usually a machine that makes use of two circular parts; a wheel and a rod that is attached to its center.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The question that the group of students came up with would be an extremely difficult question to answer scientifically because how people see or experience color is subjective and people might see it differently.

A ball, which has a mass of 1.25 kg, is thrown straight up from the top of a building 225 meters tall with a velocity of 52.0 m/

Anastasy [175]

First we will find the speed of the ball just before it will hit the floor

so in order to find the speed of the cart we will first use energy conservation

$KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f$

$\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + 0$

$\frac{1}{2}(1.25)(52)^2 + 1.25(9.8)(225) = \frac{1}{2}(1.25)v_f^2$

So by solving above equation we will have

$v_f = 84.3 m/s$

now in order to find the momentum we can use

$P = mv$

$P = 1.25 \times 84.3$

$P = 105.4 kg m/s$

Why is the formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules categorized as cohesion

marishachu [46]

Answer: Because of the polarity of water molecules

Molecular cohesion is the attraction that molecules have for others of their same type. Depending on the intensity of this attraction, a substance is in a solid, liquid or gaseous state.

In this sense, water ( $H_{2}O$ ) can stick to itself through hydrogen bonds, because a water molecule consists of 2 hydrogen atoms attached to 1 oxygen atom.

The oxygen atom tends to monopolize more electrons and keeps them away from hydrogen. Then, it can be said that a water molecule will have a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen).

Thanks to this polarity, water molecules can stick together with the formation of hydrogen bonds to attract a partial positive charge of hydrogen and a more electronegative atom, such as oxygen.
