Answer:

A The father should sit closer to the pivot.

C The longer wrench makes the job easier because less force is needed when there is more distance from the pivot.

A As far from the head of the hammer as possible because this will maximize torque.

D at the opposite side of the seesaw towards the middle

What do scientists do to easily share measurement data they can understand?

malfutka [58]

These days, scientists all over the world use a standard system of measurements. It's the SI or metric system.

What about scientists in the United States, Liberia, and Burma ?
These three countries are the only ones in the world that haven't
adopted the metric system. What do THEY do ?

Easy. When scientists in those countries are off work, they use the
inches, yards, feet, quarts, miles and gallons that everybody around
them is using. But when they go to work, they use the same metric
system that everyone else in the world is using.

A spherical asteroid of average density would have a mass of 8.7×1013kg if its radius were 2.0 km.A)If you and your spacesuit ha

WITCHER [35]

A) 0.189 N

The weight of the person on the asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted by the asteroid on the person, at a location on the surface of the asteroid:

$F=\frac{GMm}{R^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

8.7×10^13 kg is the mass of the asteroid

m = 130 kg is the mass of the man

R = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the radius of the asteroid

Substituting into the equation, we find

$F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)(130 kg)}{(2000 m)^2}0.189 N=$

B) 2.41 m/s

In order to orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (r=R), the centripetal force that keeps the astronaut in orbit must be equal to the gravitational force acting on the astronaut:

$\frac{GMm}{R^2}=\frac{mv^2}{R}$

where

v is the speed of the astronaut

Solving the formula for v, we find the minimum speed at which the astronaut should launch himself and then orbit the asteroid just above the surface:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)}{2000 m}}=2.41 m/s$

A circuit contains a 1.5 volt battery and a bulb with a resistance of 3 ohms. Calculate the current

Vitek1552 [10]

The formula that links voltage (V), resistance (R) and current intensity (I) is

$V=RI$

Solve this formula for I to get

$I=\dfrac{V}{R}$

Plug your values for V and R and you'll get the current.
