While Mr. SGNU is correct here, you must also shift your weight to your heels using the heelbone as a fulcrum to assist you thrust backwards. Another effective strategy is to simply bend your knees and lean back as if in a limbo. This would create a higher amount of surface area on the ground to assist with friction, thus slowing or stopping your fall. This would give you an effective amount of time to react and move away from the edge.

What is the most appropriate SI unit to express the speed of a cyclist in a 10-km race? km/s cm/h km/h mm/s
Murljashka [212]
You sure wouldn't want something like cm/s or (yikes cm/hr). You want a reasonable number for sports usually between 0 and 100

Km / hour would be a good choice.

The next town to where I live is 25 km away. On a good day, I can make it there in about 3/4 of an hour.

Speed = 25 km / 0.75 hour = 33.3 km/hour. That's actually a little fast most of the time. But you should understand what I mean.

 Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.Displacement<span> is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

</span>To calculate displacement<span>, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your </span>displacement<span> is 0. In physics, </span>displacement<span> is represented by Δs.
 
 For me to solve this I would need to know the time, but I can give you a handy displacement calculator I used that helped me.

Hope I helped.

1.      A rocket is forced forward by the ______ force of its engines, expelling gases out the rear of the rocket.​
AURORKA [14]

There are two forces acting on a rocket at the moment of lift off: Thrust pushes the rocket upwards by pushing gases downwards in the opposite direction.Weight is the force due to gravity pulling the rocket downwards towards the centre of the earth.So I'm thinking the answer is THRUST.

Bob and John are pulling in different directions. If Bob is pulling to the right with a force of 10N, and John is pulling to the
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

-- The net force on the box is 2N to the left.

-- The box will move to the left and accelerate to the left.

-- F=ma . a=F/m . a=(2N)/(4kg).

a = 0.5 m/s^2 to the left.

A body travels at an initial speed of 2.5 m/s. Given a constant acceleration of 0.2 m/s 2 what is the speed of the body at time
garri49 [273]

Answer:

<u>We are given:</u>

u = 2.5 m/s

a = 0.2 m/s/s

t = 25 seconds

v = v m/s

<u>Solving for 'v':</u>

From the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

Replacing the values

v = 2.5 + (0.2)(25)

v = 2.5 + 5

v = 7.5 m/s
