If an automobile moving at high speed suddenly comes to a stop, you would have a large change in momentum. This relates to Newton's second law in the form F = delta p / delta t, where p is momentum (mv).
You could lessen the effect of the sudden stop on the passengers by changing the average force exerted on them. If you look at Newton's second law again, you can see that given some delta p, you can decrease F by increasing delta t. What this means is that if you increase the length of time over which the change in momentum occurs, you can decrease the average force exerted to obtain that change in momentum. This is the reason why landing on a soft cushion is preferable to landing on a concrete surface. The cushion gives way to any object falling on it while still providing some resistance (you don't stop as abruptly), so while your change in momentum is the same in both cases, you have a larger delta t in the case of the cushion.
Answer:
(D) None
Explanation:
The force of gravity is the force pulling every element of matter together. The more the matter the higher the force of gravity.
Examples of this force at work are;
- The force that causes an apple to fall from the tree
- The force that causes a rock to roll downside a hill
- The force causing people to walk on the earth surface instead of floating
The force that facilitates a pen on your hand to write on a paper is friction force between the pen and the paper. Gravitational force acts downwards thus force applied on an object beside you is not the force of gravity.
Answer:
“Just believe in yourself. Even if you don’t pretend that you do and, and some point, you will.”
Explanation:
Metals are malleable and ductile.
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Metals are lustrous (shiny) and can be polished.
Metals are solids at room temperature (except mercury, which is liquid).
Metals are tough and strong.
