The blade of a metal cutter are shorter than that of blades of paper cutter scissors ? give reason

Physics

Sedaia [141]2 years ago

This is because, metal cutters need more pressure in order to cut the metal. The more shorter the blade, the more pressure and force is has in order to help cut the metal. Scissors have longer blades because they don’t require as much force and pressure since they cut easier materials than metal.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:5 Neither: both negative and positive charge are present simultaneously in all solid materials on Earth

Explanation:

When we rub a glass rod with silk cloth then some of the electrons from glass rods are stripped away to the silk cloth. These electrons are loosely bound to the silk rod that is why they easily transferred to silk cloth.  

There is no net charge because the charge is induced when we rub the cloth and charge are separated therefore we able to notice these charges.

Sophia is planning on going down an 8-m water slide. Her weight is 50 N. She knows that she has gravitational potential energy (
Pepsi [2]

Answer:The higher up an object is the greater its gravitational potential energy. The larger the distance something falls through the greater the amount of GPE the object loses as it falls. As most of this GPE gets changed into kinetic energy, the higher up the object starts from the faster it will be falling when it hits the ground.  So a change in gravitational potential energy depends on the height an object moves through.

Explanation: Lifting an apple up 1 metre is easier work than lifting an apple tree the same height. This is because a tree has more mass, so it needs to be given more gravitational potential energy to reach the same height.

A healthy astronaut's heart rate is 60 beats/min. Flight doctors on Earth can monitor an astronaut's vital signs remotely while
Anton [14]
GIVEN:
   60 beats per minute
   21 beats per minute
   find x= how fast would an astronaut be flying away
 1            x
-----   *  ------ = (60x = 21)  -------> 60x = 21    ------------>  x= 0.35 
60         21                                  -------   -----
                                                     60      60

The answer is 0.35 seconds which refers to how fast would an astronaut be flying away from the earth if he has a heart rate of 21 beats/min.

Seema knows the mass of basketball. What other information is needed to find the balls potential energy
Lelu [443]

Answer: The height (position) of the ball and the acceleration due gravity

Explanation:

In this case we are taking about gravitational potential energy, which is the energy a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.  In this sense, this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.  

In the case of the Earth, in which the gravitational field is considered constant, the gravitational potential energy U will be:  

U=mgh  

Where:

m is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity (assuming the ball is on the Earth surface)

h is the height (position) of the ball respect to a given point

Note the value of the gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height.

Two charges, qA and qB, are separated by a distance, d, and exert a force, F, on each other. Analyze Coulomb's law and answer th
maria [59]

Answer: a. F doubled

b. F reduced by one-quarter i.e

1/4*(F)

c. 1/9*(F)

d. F increased by a factor of 4 i.e 4*F

e. F reduces 3/4*(F)

Explanation: Coulombs law states the force F of attraction/repulsion experience by two charges qA and qB is directly proportional to thier product and inversely proportional to the square of distance d between them. That is

F = k*(qA*qB)/d²

a. If qA is doubled therefore the force is doubled since they are directly proportional.

b. If qA and qB are half, that means thier new product would be qA/2)*qB/2 =qA*qB/4

Which means the product of charge is divided by 4 so the force would be divided by 4 too since they are directly proportional.

c. If d is tripped that is multiplied by 3. From the formula new d would be (3*d)²=9d² but force is inversely proportional to d² so instead of multiplying by 9 the force will be divided by 9

d. If d is cut into half that is divided by 2. The new d would be (d/2)²=d²/4. So d² is divided by 4 so the force would be multiplied by 4

e. If qA is tripled that is multiplied by 3. F would be multiplied by 3 also, if at the same time d is doubled (2*d)²= 4*d² . Force would be divided by 4 at same time. So we have,

3/4*F
