If you fall and skid to a stop on a carpeted floor, you can get a rug burn. Much of this discomfort comes from abrasion,but ther

e can also be a real burn where the skin was too hot. How does this happen?

Explanation:

When you run, your body has a kinetic energy  and when you fall while running, the friction between the carpet and your foot, transforms the kinetic energy into thermal energy or heat energy. This can even cause, real burn if the skin were too hot.

An airplane has a momentum of 8.55 x 107 kg.m/s[S] and a velocity of 900 km/h[S]. Determine the mass of the airplane.
kow [346]

Answer:

342,000kg

Explanation:

p=mv

8.55*10^7 kg*m/s=m(900 km/h)

85,500,000 kg*m/s=m(900 km/h)

(85,500,000 kg*m/s)/(900 km/h)=m

Get same units.... 900km/h = 250m/s

m/s cancel in the division, you are left with just kg!!

85,500,000/250=342,000kg! That's it!

An athlete is running a 400m race around a 400m track. On the backstretch the athlete's velocity is 8m/s but he is running into
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

33 N

Explanation:

v = Velocity of fluid = 8+2 = 10 m/s

\rho = Density of fluid = 1.2 kg/m³

C = Coefficient of drag = 1.1

A = Cross sectional area = 0.5 m²

Drag force is given by

F=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times 1.1\times 0.5\times (8+2)^2\\\Rightarrow F=33\ N

The drag force on the athlete is 33 N

Which statement describes the relationship between energy and entropy in the universe?
rusak2 [61]

In fact, entropy of an isolated system never decreases (2nd law of thermodynamics), unless some external energy is provided in order to "restore" order in the system and decrease its entropy.

(note that when external energy is added to the system, it is no longer "isolated").


*This is only true if the question is referring to a certain system within the universe. If we are considering the universe itself as the system, then this option is no longer correct, because no external energy can be provided to the universe, and since the universe is an isolated system, its entropy can never decrease. If we are considering the universe itself as the system, none of the options is true.

State ohm’s law Q.34.7
defon

Ohm's law states that: V=RI

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that in a conductor, the potential difference across the conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it. Mathematically,

V \propto I

where

V is the potential difference

I is the current

The constant of proportionality is called resistance (R), and it gives a measure of "how much the conductor opposes" to the flow of current. Therefore Ohm's law can be rewritten as

V=RI

where R is the resistance. By rewriting the equation as

I=\frac{V}{R}

we see that the larger the resistance, the lower the current in the conductor.
