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

Physics
1 answer:
alexandr402 [8]2 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.

What is entropy and how is it related to string theory?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

String theory proposes that the fundamental constituents of the universe are one-dimensional “strings” rather than point-like particles. String theory also requires six or seven extra dimensions of space, and it contains ways of relating large extra dimensions to small ones. In statistical mechanics, entropy is an extensive property of a thermodynamic system. It quantifies the number Ω of microscopic configurations that are consistent with the macroscopic quantities that characterize the system theyre related  It later developed into superstring theory, which posits a connection called supersymmetry between bosons and the class of particles called fermions. Five consistent versions of superstring theory were developed before it was conjectured in the mid-1990s that they were all different limiting cases of a single theory in 11 dimensions known as M-theory. In late 1997, theorists discovered an important relationship called the AdS/CFT correspondence, which relates string theory to another type of physical theory called a quantum field theory.

Kyra and Pari are timing how long it takes for 1 g of sugar to dissolve in hot water. Kyra records a time of 24.3 seconds. Pari
Hoochie [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>we can say that:-</h3>
  1. A reading with more no of significant figures is considered to be more precise.
  2. Kyra recorded a reading of 24.3 sec. Since all non 0 digits are considered to be significant this reading has 3 significant figures.
  3. Pari recorded a reading of 24 sec. Since all non 0 digits are considered to be significant this reading has 3 significant figures.
<h3>hence we can say that kyra's reading has more significant figures nd so it is more precise.</h3>
