The slope of the line ... or the direction it's heading ... is the speed
of whatever is being graphed.  So if the line changes direction, it
means that the speed changed at that time.

I want to make a Twinkie splat when I throw it off a building. Because Twinkies are notoriously hard to crush, I want it to hit
Monica [59]

Answer:

s=253.6524712 \approx 253.7

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Initial speedv=8ft/s

Final speed v=128ft/s

Generally the Newtons  equation of motion is mathematically represented by

V_f^2-V_0^2=2as

with

Therefore

a=g=>9.81m/s^2\\a=32.17ft/s^2

Therefore

128^2-8^2=2*(32.17)*s

16320=2*(32.17)*s

s=\frac{16320}{2*(32.17)}

s=253.6524712 \approx 253.7

The feeling of weightlessness occurs because _____________________.
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The feeling of weight is one of compression.

Explanation:

All your body is being pulled down by gravity yet your feet ( if standing) or your back or something is holding you up.  

Your body is compressed by the PAIR of forces and it is that compression that you feel.  

So when you remove the supporting force then all the body is free to move together and there is no compression within you.  

Hence you perceive no weight.

What are some possible sources of error when using the modified mercalli scale to locate the epicenter of an earthquake?
anygoal [31]

The Modified Mercalli scale is used measures the amount of damage done during an earthquake. This helps to locate the epicenter of the earthquake.  It depicts the intensity of the earthquake based on the damage occurred due to the earthquake. The responses from many people who experienced the earthquake are collected by the scientists, assigned a value and plotted on a map

The plotted number can change with the reference place within the region of disturbance. It depends on the location of the observer with reference to the epicenter of the earthquake. The reporting depends on the witness. Some can exaggerate the extent of damage caused. All  the above mentioned are possible sources of error  when using the Modified Mercalli scale to locate the earthquake's epicenter.

Boyles law<br> squeezing a balloon is one way to burst it. Why? ...?
KiRa [710]
According to Boyle's Law,  volume is inversely proportional to pressure. It means if the volume of a gas goes up the pressure goes down and if the volume of the gas goes up the pressure goes down. When the pressure of air inside the inflated balloon is more than the atmospheric pressure outside the balloon. And also when the density inside is greater than the density outside. The molecules inside the balloon move and bang around the inner walls which produces force, which provides the pressure of an enclosed air.

Why 2 objects don't attract each other with gravitational force? Explain with newton's law of universal gravitation. PLS NO SEAR
Tema [17]

Answer:

Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.
