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

1 answer:

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.

Number of vibrations (waves) in an amount of time

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

I think frequency not sure though

How frequently a wave or vibration occurs during a span of time, determines the waves frequency. Frequency is the number of waves per unit time. The unit for frequency if a Hertz ( 1/second). The speed a wave travels is the wavelength multiplied by this frequency. The amplitude of a wave is the maximum distance the wave is displaced.

An 85-kg man plans to tow a 109 000-kg airplane along a runway by pulling horizontally on a cable attached to it. Suppose that h

Lelu [443]

Answer:

The greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane is 0.0059 m/s².

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of man = 85 kg

Mass of airplane = 109000 kg

Distance = 9.08

Coefficient of static friction = 0.77

We need to calculate the greatest friction force

Using formula of friction

$F=\mu mg$

Where, m = mass of man

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

$F = 0.77\times85\times9.8$

$F= 641.41\ N$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of newton's second law

$F = ma$

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{ 641.41}{109000}$

$a=0.0059\ m/s^2$

Hence, The greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane is 0.0059 m/s².

A type of energy embodied in oscillating electric and magnetic fields is called

yaroslaw [1]

Answer: Electromagnetic radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation is a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, which propagate through space carrying energy from one place to another.

To understand it better:

This radiation is spread thanks to the electromagnetic fields produced by moving electric charges and their sources can be natural or man-made.

It should be noted that the energy of electromagnetic radiation can vary and depending on its frequency it can be useful for various situations.

A lightning bolt transfers 6.0 coulombs of charge from a cloud to the ground in 2.0 x 10-3 second. what is the average current d

AlladinOne [14]

The current is defined as the amount of charge transferred through a certain point in a certain time interval:
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}$
where
I is the current
Q is the charge
$\Delta t$ is the time interval

For the lightning bolt in our problem, Q=6.0 C and $\Delta t= 2.0 \cdot 10^{-3}s$ , so the average current during the event is
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{6.0 C}{2.0 \cdot 10^{-3} s}=3000 A$
