Before a person walks through burning coal, the person will make sure their feet are very wet. When they start walking on the coal, this moisture will evaporate and form a protective gas layer underneath the person's feet. You can see examples of this if you happen to drip some water on a hot stove or any very hot surface. The water will very easily glide around on top of a newly formed layer of air underneath it -- like air hockey pucks on an air hockey table. Note that when someone walks through burning coal, typically this is also done very quickly to prevent a great deal of exposure to possible harm. By walking quickly, thinking positively, and letting the water cushion you from immediate danger over a short distance, such a task is possible. You may have also heard of physics teachers demonstrating how this principle works by sticking their hand first in a bucket of water and then quickly in a bucket of boiling molten lead. In the lead, their hand is protected briefly by a layer of gas from the evaporated water (the water vapor). I'm fairly sure that there is a name for this particular layer of gas, but I'm afraid the name is beyond me at the moment. In other words, water vapor has a low heat capacity and poor thermal conduction. Very often, the coals or wood embers that are used in fire walking also have a low heat capacity. Sweat produced on the bottom of people's feet also helps form a protective water vapor. All of this together makes it possible, if moving quickly enough, to walk across hot coals without getting burned. WARNING: Do not attempt to perform any of the actions described above.

Sound at 70 dB is 70 dB louder than the human reference level. That's 10⁷ times as much as the reference sound power.
Sound at 73 dB is 73 dB louder than the human reference level. That's 10⁷.³ or 2 x 10⁷ times as much as the reference sound power.
Sound at 80 dB is 80 dB louder than the human reference level. That's 10⁸ or 10 x 10⁷ times as much as the reference sound power.
Now we can adumup:
Intensity of all 3 sources = (10⁷) + (2 x 10⁷) + (10 x 10⁷)
Intensity = (13 x 10⁷) times the sound power reference intensity.
Intensity in dB = 10 log (13 x 10⁷) = 10 (7 + log(13)
Intensity = 70 + 10 log(13)
Intensity = 70 + 10 (1.114)
Intensity = 70 + 11.14
Intensity = <em>81.14 dB</em>

Looking at the questioner's profile, I seriously wonder whether I'll ever get a comment in return from this creature, and how I'll ever find out if my solution is correct. For that matter, I'm also seriously questioning how and whether my solution will ever be used for anything.
Answer:
The correct answer should be
A. 20 Joules
Explanation:
I'm taking the K12 Unit Test: Energy - Part 1 right now
F=ma
m=F/a=95/0.8= 118.75kg
your friend is pretty heavy XD
Answer:
<em>The comoving distance and the proper distance scale</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
The comoving distance scale removes the effects of the expansion of the universe, which leaves us with a distance that does not change in time due to the expansion of space (since space is constantly expanding). The comoving distance and proper distance are defined to be equal at the present time; therefore, the ratio of proper distance to comoving distance now is 1. The scale factor is sometimes not equal to 1. The distance between masses in the universe may change due to other, local factors like the motion of a galaxy within a cluster. Finally, we note that the expansion of the Universe results in the proper distance changing, but the comoving distance is unchanged by an expanding universe.
