I've seen them called scatter-hoarder, and the pile of nuts called a cache, are there scientific or official terms for either part?

OK, I asked this question earlier but placed it under the biology heading and got some wrong answers. Physicists please do better. I'm not necessarily after a quantatative answer. Here goes...
Ant body parts are designed for their size. They look spindly because of the ratio of body mass to cross sectional area is low. Coz we are bigger, we need more cross sectional area to support our mass.

So, if an ant can carry say 5 times its body weight, then if we were shrunk down to ant size (but our body proportions remained the same), how many times our own body weight could we lift?

And how can you turn around immediately make eye contact like a magnet? IS there a scientific explination for this?

Assume that the kinetic energy of a 1400 kg car moving at 115 km/h could be converted entirely into heat. What amount of water could be heated from 20C to 50C by the car's energy? Note: 1J=1kg m^2/s^2.

Ok, I cannot figure out how to set the problem up...i dont need the answer, but just the set-up of the problem. Thanks.

It sounds like the microwave is blowing up! And no, I am not microwaving foil or anything like that. These are individual soup servings in cups meant for microwaving.

machine design:if bolt joints 2 plates,and 2 equal forces but in oppiste direction are appled on the plate,,,so why we calculater tensile stress on the bolt and not shear stress.???this question is reagarding the case that there is 1 mm gap beatwean the diameter of the bolt and the diamters on the plates(the holes\\bores on the plater)...and why if there was no gap beetwean the diameter of the bolt and the holes(bores)on the plates for the same case with the forces above we r calculating shear force and not tensile force??in both case the forces r (geometry) perpendicular to the axis of the bolt so why in first case we calculate tensile and on the second case its shear,,,,though that the formula looks the same...its force /area??

could it be , maybe that there is another earth like planet on the other side of the sun about 93.000.000 miles distance from the sun on the far side to us that we never see, if so would our eliptical orbit of the sun make it so that at certain times of the year we would be able to see it for a while if it was there.

I've been tasked with writing a summary on the engineering impacts to a mechanism. I realize that backlash is due to the tolerance buildup of the internal components but I'm looking for a good analytical way of discribing the effects. Anything you can come up with would be appreciated. Thank you.
