Hammer and screwdriver perform different tasks because they are both simple machines.

A machine is simply a device that can be used to perform a task. This  machine can be any physical system or device designed to perform a specific task.

The efficiency of the machine describes the easy with which each machine or tool is able to use input power to overcome a task.

Machines are designed to overcome a particular task with little effort in order to increase its efficiency.

Hammer and screwdriver, are both examples of simple machines.

Thus, Hammer and screwdriver perform different tasks because they are both simple machines.

_________ is a change in the position of a body with respect to time relative to a reference point.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Rest

Explanation:

Rest is a change in the position of a body with respect to time relative to a reference point. The stationary state of an object or body relative to a reference position or another object is called Rest.

Taking Newton's First Law of motion into consideration, an object will remain in its state of rest or uniform motion until acted upon by an external force. This implies an object at rest is an object with zero (without) velocity and acceleration.

A woman steps in front of a child to keep him from running off. which term best describes this example? negative work positive w
lana [24]

Answer:

negative force

Explanation:

Here woman is applying the force to stop the child or to prevent him from running.

Here we know that the force applied by the woman is opposite to the motion of child but here the child is not displaced by this applied force but the child is only prevented his running.

So here the work done by the woman is zero as there is no displacement by this force.

But here we can say that the the force of woman is against the motion of child so here this force is opposite force and hence it is termed as negative force here.

so correct answer will be

negative force

natima [27]

Answer:

357.6g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Density  = 12.459g/cm³

Volume of metal  = 28.7cm³

Unknown:

Mass of metal = ?

Solution:

The density of a substance is its mass per unit volume.

To find the mass;

     Mass of metal  = density x volume

Now insert the parameters and solve;

    Mass of metal  = 12.459 x 28.7  = 357.6g
