Answer:Shifted towards Left by distance of 2.243 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of john m_1=95.6 kg

Mass of barbara m_2=55.3 kg

John is standing at x=10.9 m

Barbara is standing at x=2.50 m

x_{com}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}

x_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 10.9+55.3\times 2.5}{95.6+55.3}

x_{com}=\frac{1180.29}{150.9}

x_{com}=7.821 m

Now if they change their Position then

x'_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 2.5+55.3\times 10.9}{95.6+55.3}

x'_{com}=\frac{841.77}{150.9}

x'_{com}=5.578

Thus we can see that center of mass shifted towards left by a distance of 2.243 m because heavier is shifted towards left

beks73 [17]

Option B The thickness of the central portion of a thin conveying lens can be determined very accurately by using a micrometer screw gauge.

<h3>What can be measured using a micrometer screw gauge?</h3>

One micrometer of thickness can be measured with a micron micrometre screw gauge. A Use of Micrometer Screw Gauge as like example Upon turning the screw of the micrometer screw gauge four times, a 2 mm space is covered.

<h3>What purposes does a micrometer serve?</h3>

A tool known as a micrometer is used to measure solid objects’ lengths, thicknesses, and other dimensions precisely and linearly.

<h3>What is the micrometer screw gauge’s SI unit?</h3>

The SI symbol m is also known as a micron, which is an SI-derived unit of length equaling 1106 meters, where 106 is the SI standard prefix for the prefix “micro-.” A micrometer is one-millionth of a meter.

John accidentally drops his keys off the balcony at his apartment. John's friend Tony just happens to walk by at that moment and
EleoNora [17]

Explanation:

In order to find out if the keys will reach John or not, we can use the formula of projectile motion to find the maximum height reached by the keys:

H = V²Sin²θ/2g

where,

V = Launch Speed = 18 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 40°

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

H = (18 m/s)²[Sin 40°]²/(2)(9.8 m/s²)

H = 6.83 m

Hence, the maximum height that can be reached by the projectile or the keys is greater than the height of John's Balcony(5.33 m).

Therefore, the keys will make it back to John.

What is something the screw can do that the other simple machines can't
Naya [18.7K]

Geometrically, a screw can be viewed as a narrow inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. Like the other simple machines a screw can amplify force; a small rotational force (torque) on the shaft can exert a large axial force on a load.
