In order to have a verified or reliable answer to this question, they should take the watch apart and test the mechanism to see what causes failure.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

For dropping a similar watch to record results, we need to buy another one. So, it becomes expensive. And, calling the manufacturer will give accurate results, but no knowledge. It is like getting multiple choices by luck.

Consulting senior faculty won’t result in any progress, because they may not have conducted these. So, one should rip off the watch, and study the mechanism, and its limitations.  The testing of mechanism gives the actual results.

Answer: B) Drop a similar watch multiple times and record the results.

Explanation:

In order to have a verified or reliable answer to this question, investigators must drop a similar watch multiple times and record the results. By doing this and repeatedly getting the same result(s), they are able to determine that their answer is in fact true.

When the saw slices wood, the wood exerts a 104-N force on the blade, 0.128 m from the blade’s axis of rotation. If that force i
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

When saw slices wood by exerting a force on the wood , wood also exerts a reaction force on the saw in opposite direction which is equal to the force of action that is 104 N.

So torque exerted by wood on the blade

= force x perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation

= 104 x .128

=13.312 Nm.

Since this torque opposes the movement of blade , it turns the blade slower.

Bambi the young dear was distracted Buy butterfly and jumped into the road in front of the two vehicles as shown in the diagram
bagirrra123 [75]

Speed of car A is given as

v_a = 70 mph

now we need to convert it into SI units

1 miles = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

now we have

v_a = 70 *\frac{1609}{3600} = 31.3 m/s

now its distance from Bambi is given as

d_a = 350 m

time taken by it to hit the Bambi

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{350}{31.3}

t = 11.2 s

Now other car is moving at speed 50 mph

so its speed in SI unit will be

v_b = 50* \frac{1609}{3600}

v_b = 22.35 m/s

now its distance from Bambi is given as

d_b = 590 feet

as we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m

d_b = 590*0.3048 = 179.83 m

now the time to hit the other car is

t_2 = \frac{179.83}{22.35}

t_b = 8.05 s

So Car B will hit the Bambi first

How can you justify that force is transferred to lift and throw soil using shovel?<br>​
Natali [406]

Forces are needed to lift, turn, move, open, close, push, pull, and so on. When you throw a ball, you are using force to make the ball move through the air. More than one force can act on an object at the same time.
