You are on a frozen pond, and the ice starts to crack. if you lie down on the ice and begin to crawl, this will

6 0

If you lie down on the ice and begin to crawl, this will spread out your weight more evenly and make it less likely for the ice to suffer a critical failure, in which you might fall below the surface of the ice and into the water. You have better weight distribution by being on more than two points - only your two feet. By crawling you disperse your weight to possibly up to eight points or more. This includes hands, elbows, knees, feet, chest. The dispersing of the weight takes significant pressure off of just one or two points, because as you are walking you are also most likely lifting a foot. By crawling, you remain in constant contact with your weight spread more evenly.

the hydrometer with the density of liquid to be 800 kg metre per square is the volume of the submerged part of the hydrometer is

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Mass = 0.04 Kg

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Density = 800 kg/m³

Volume = 5 * 10^{-5} m³

To find the mass of the object;

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the formula;

$Density = \frac {mass}{volume}$

Making mass the subject of formula, we have;

$Mass = density * volume$

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

$Mass = 800 * 5 * 10^{-5}$

Mass = 0.04 Kg

If a 0.15 kg ball falls and has a KE of 20 J just before striking the ground, from what height did it fall. A. 1.36m B. 3m C. 13

RUDIKE [14]

According to the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy just before the ball strikes the ground is equal to the potential energy just before it fell.

Therefore, we can say KE = PE
We know that PE = m·g·h

Which means KE = m·g·h

We can solve for h:

h = KE / m·g
= 20 / (0.15 · 9.8)
= 13.6m

The correct answer is: the ball has fallen from a height of 13.6m.
