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.

Why cable color codes are important ? what if we use three phase cables without color
Degger [83]

Answer:

Cable color codes are very important for example, If something is not wired properly, it can result in injuries, deaths, fires, and many other problems. This is why there are well-established wire color codes to ensure those working with an around this type of equipment can ensure everything is wired safely and effectively. If we used three phase cables without color code, this can lead too incorrect things that might be a hazard too get not fix and learning new color codes would be hard therefore we should stick too the same color codes for cables and it saves the hassle for needing too check every cable cord color then the original one signed too it.

Suppose that a person riding on the top of a freight car shines a searchlight beam in the direction in which the train is travel
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

same

Explanation:

Acc. to Einstien's postulate of special theory of

Relativity , Velocity of the light beam is same in all frames of references

(a) If the freight car is at rest

The frame we can assumed as Non - inertial frame  of reference s

In the inertial frame of reference , velocity  of the light beam  has its own value as : 3 x 10^8 m/s

(b) If the freight car is moving , the frame we can assumed as  Non -inertial frame of reference    

In thus case also , The velocity of the light beam  will also have  the same value as ; 3 x 108 m/s
