A micrometer is 100 times smaller than a millimeter.
Answer:
The two chairs and those sitting on them will move in nearly opposite directions at almost the same speed (assuming that the wheels can only move into two directions - front or back and assuming that the weight of both people are almost the same)
Explanation:
Newton's Third Law states that If an object X exerts a force on object Y, then object Y must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object X.
In other words, when force is applied from source A at B and in direction of B, B also simultaneously returns the force on B and in the direction of B.
This law applies when we jump off the ground when a rocket takes off from the earth into space, etc.
While standing, the body pushes on the earth with a force equal to its own weight. If the ground underneath the body does not meet that force in an equal and opposite direction, both standing on the earth will fall into the earth, with the earth caving underneath it.
You can see why it is important to have a strong foundation for a building and why the depth and strength of the foundation will depend on how much weight is going on it.

Answer: D
Explanation:
Let us examine the given actions to see which ones generate heat and sound energy from mechanical energy.
A) Stretching a string.
The mechanical stretching creates tension in the string, which is released when the tension is removed. The generation of thermal or sound energy is minimal or negligible.
B) Squeezing a sponge ball
The sponge ball experiences compressive loading. This generates minimal or no heat and sound energy.
C) Throwing a ball upwards in the air
Air friction generates minimal or no heat at low velocities. At low velocities the pressure waves are too small to generate sound.
D) Striking a hammer on a nail.
A tremendous amount of force is applied over a small area to generate very high stresses that are in the plastic zone. A high amount of thermal energy is generated and the localized disturbance of the air generates audible sound.
This is the correct situation.
Answer:
By putting something like a sheet of glass in the water.
Explanation:
Putting a sheet of glass in the water will make the ripples move slower because the speed of a wave depends on the depth of water.
