The answer given by E2020 is
"The padding around the goal post increases the time of the collision between the player and the post, which decreases the force exerted to bring the player to a stop"
Answer:
Ep = 117600 J
Explanation:
Data:
- Mass (m) = 600 kg
- Height (h) = 20 m
- Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
- Potential Energy (Ep) = ?
Use formula:
Replace:
- Ep = 600 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 20 m
Multiply operations, and units:
What is the potential energy?
The potential energy is <u>117600 Joules.</u>
Answer b protons and electrons
That's good ! I never heard of that before. (Maybe because
I've never been stung by an ant.)
When an ant bites or stings, it injects a tiny amount of 'formic acid'
into your skin. Soon, the formic acid itches, burns, and stings, and
after a while, a little piece of skin dies and falls off. Some people
are seriously allergic to it, and it can make them really sick.
'Acids' and 'bases' are opposites, and one can neutralize (cancel out)
the other. Tony is putting a weak 'base' on the sting, to neutralize the
formic acid that the ant left him as a little gift.
