Why do skiers often wear sunglasses while they are skiing

They do it for personal protection, while they are skiing rocks can fly though and without personal protection the can get injured or even killed. That why they wear glasses for personal protection to avoid being injured in the eye.

For example if you are cooking and you want to take something of the oven, you would likely wear some hand gloves to avoid burns, that's the same with skiers.

There is a lot of glare off of the ice, due to the sun and it also is always good to have eye protection in case you fall face first :P

When you look ahead while driving, it is best to:
vodka [1.7K]
I think its [B]
Personally i would say [B] only because If you are looking beyond the car in front of you..... then what if the car in front of you throws on breaks... you would hit them in the butt because you weren't paying attention to the car.
And majority of the time if your looking in the lanes beside you then you are most likely trying to get in that lane.

If a boat and its riders have a mass of 900 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.4 m/s how much work does sam do to stop it?
Rama09 [41]
The initial kinetic energy of the boat and its rider is
K_i =  \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(900 kg)(1.4 m/s)^2=882 J

After Sam stops it, the final kinetic energy of the boat+rider is
K_f = 0 J
because its final velocity is zero.

For the law of conservation of energy, the work done by Sam is the variation of kinetic energy of the system:
W=K_f-K_i =0-882 J=-882 J
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force Sam is applying goes against the direction of motion of the boat.

A student has a mass (including clothes and shoes) of 65.0 kg. She drinks a 12 oz. can of soda, with a nutritional energy conten
Stella [2.4K]

She can climb 0.92 m without losing weight.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy consisting of the product of mass, gravity and height.

1 cal = 4184 J

140 cal = 585760 J

Energy = 585760 J,  m = 65.0 kg = 65000 g,   Efficiency = 20 %

                                 GPE = mgh

where m represents the mass

          g represents the gravity,

           h represents the height.

                             585760 = 65000 \times 9.8 \times h

                                        h = 0.92 m.
