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.

Which of the following statements about the nuclear strong force is true?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: 2, the nuclear strong force drops to practically nothing at large distances.

Explanation: The protons and neutrons in the nucleus share subatomic particles called pions. This exchange is what keeps the protons and neutrons stuck together in the nucleus. Despite the strong force being the strongest force, it has a very small range. This is because pions have very short lifespans. So, the strong force would have literally no effect at large distances.

Hope that helped! :)

a rocket engine can accelerate a rocket launched from rest vertically up with an acceleration of 22.9 m/s2. however, after 50.0
xxTIMURxx [149]

The acceleration of a rocket engine is given here, and after 50 seconds of flight, the engine fails, and we must determine the altitude of the rocket at the time the engine fails.  Because the rocket starts from rest, the time taken is 50 seconds, the initial velocity is zero, and the acceleration is 22.9 meters per second square. So we use the kinamatics equation s equal to v. I t plus half 8 square. There is no acceleration at the start. 22.9 and t is 50 seconds, so displacement 2.86 times 10 to the power 4 is met. This is the rocket's displacement in 50 seconds, so this is the rocket's altitude when the engine fails.

<h3>What exactly is accelerate?</h3>
  • In mechanics, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time. Vector quantities are accelerations. The orientation of an object's acceleration is determined by the orientation of its net force.
  • In his second law of motion, Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) defined acceleration as the ratio of a force acting on an object to its mass: a = f/m.
  • Accelerate is a verb that means to speed up. When you press the gas pedal, the car accelerates. If you know someone who works at the consulate, you can speed up the process.
  • Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time, both in terms of speed and direction. A point or object moving in a straight line is accelerated if it accelerates or decelerates.
  • Even if the speed is constant, motion on a circle is accelerated because the direction is constantly changing. Both effects contribute to acceleration in all other types of motion.

Hence, There is no acceleration at the start. 22. This is the rocket's displacement in 50 seconds, so this is the rocket's altitude when the engine fails.

A pendulum has a mass of 1.5 kg and starts at a height of 0.4 m. If it is released from rest, how fast is it going when it reach
ella [17]

Answer:

A. 2.8 m/s

Explanation:

Suppose that at the height of 0 m, the path of the pendulum is lowest.

If we use law of conservation of energy, the pendulum will have zero kinetic energy or K.E when it is at highest point, because K.E happens during movement of object and at the highest point all the energy will be P.E

                                                    P.E= mgh

Similarly, when the pendulum reaches at the lowest point, the height becomes zero and the P.E also becomes zero. Now all the energy will be K.E

                                               K.E= 1/2 m v^2

In question, we are asked about the speed as the pendulum  it reaches the lowest point of its path. Like we mentioned P.E will be zero at lowest point  because of zero height. And also we will use law of conservation of energy because no energy has been lost from system.

                                                  K.E=     P.E

                                       1/2 m v^2  =   mgh

Taking sq.root at both sides

                                                  v= Under root 2 gh

                                                   v=Under root 2x 9.8 m/s x0.4 m

                                                   v=Under root 7.84

                                                    v=2.8 m/sec

Hope it helps!
