Why is it more comfortable to fall onto a big pillow than onto a wooden floor ?

Physics
1 answer:
alexandr402 [8]3 years ago
6 0

I believe the answer to this question is C. The pillow distributes the decelerating force over a greater amount of time .

sudden stops are damaging, not the fall itself.

When falling on a mat it will take longer since a smaller force=longer falling time

when falling on a wooden floor it will take shorter since a larger force=smaller falling time

Hence, if the sudden fall is what causes impact and discomfort, and a smaller force equals longer falling time, and a larger force equals shorter falling time and smaller falling time equals less impact, then, C. must be the answer.

Explain the uses of Electrophorus <br>​
Maslowich

Answer:

Explanation:

Comment

Interesting creature.

These creatures are the only survivors from an era long past, where nothing else has survived. They are eels capable of discharging a large electrical current. A pack of them (they can hunt in groups) can kill just about anything.

Tribes use and tame them to guard the tribe's tame Electrophorus. They are bread and maintained in schools. While the charge is huge, once discharged, these creatures take a very long time to recharge, so they are not entirely invincible.

How would a system which exchanges energy but does not exchange matter between the system and the surroundings be classified?
Elodia [21]
If a system allows the exchange of energy but does not permit exchange of matter between the system and surroundings, this system is classified as a CLOSED system. The energy that flows in and out of the system boundaries is in the form of heat.
