Answer:

Let's say the pitcher is angry or just has a really heavy hand while throwing this ball, and now you have to catch it, otherwise it's going to ram into your face. When you put your hands up just in time to catch this ball, this is called impulse, or commonly expressed as a reflex. Depending on what kind of ball is being thrown, such as a golf ball, baseball, basketball, beach-ball, rubber-ball, baseball, etc. ... the weight of the ball itself is going to impact how much it i going to hurt when you catch it without any hand protection. However, if you're catching, let's say a baseball, with a padded glove, it is not going to hurt as bad as catching the baseball bare handed, because the padded glove has enough padding in it to create a barrier between the skin of your hand and the palm of the glove.

If a woman weighs 125 lb, her mass expressed in kilograms is x kg, where x is
adelina 88 [10]
The first thing you should know to solve this problem is the conversion of pounds to kilograms:
 1lb = 0.45 Kg
 We can solve this problem by a simple rule of three
 1lb ---> 0.45Kg
 125lb ---> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = ((125) / (1)) * (0.45) = 56.25 Kg.
 Answer
 her mass expressed in kilograms is 56.25 Kg.

When you ride your bike around a corner at 10 m/s, you are accelerating?
WINSTONCH [101]

When you ride your bike around a corner at 10 m/s, you are accelerating. Acceleration is caused by any forces. Sliding friction keeps you in the seat when a car goes around a corner. If you throw a ball into the air, Earth exerts a force on the ball.

The weight of an object on a planet depends not only on its mass, but also on its distance from the planets center. Uranus has m
Ierofanga [76]
The further an object is from the centre of a planet, the lower it's gravitational force. Uranus had 14 times as much mass as earth, but it's also a lot bigger than earth. So assuming an object is on the surface of Uranus, it would be really far away from the centre of Uranus, therefore the gravitational force is less.

Hope this helps!
