Answer:

Impulse = Average force x time of contact

Explanation:

Impulsive force is a force which is very large but applied on a body for a very small duration of time.

Impulse is given by the change in momentum of the body.

Impulse = Average force x small time interval

When padding is there, the time interval of contact is large and thus, the force exerted by the body is small.

So, when a person falls on the tile floor, there is no compression and thus, the time of contact is very small and thus the impulsive force is very large, due to  which the body may damage.

So, when a person falls on the carpeted floor, there is a compression and thus, the time of contact is comparatively large and thus the impulsive force is small, due to  which the body may safe.

If you dribble a basketball with a frequency of 1.77 Hz, how long does it take for you to complete 12 dribbles?
Licemer1 [7]
<h2>It takes 6.78 seconds to complete 12 dribbles.</h2>

Explanation:

Frequency of dribble = 1.77 Hz

That is

         Number of dribbles in 1 second = 1.77

         \texttt{Time taken for 1 dribble = }\frac{1}{1.77}=0.565s

Now we need to find how long does it take for you to complete 12 dribbles.

         Time taken for 12 dribbles = 12 x Time taken for 1 dribble

         Time taken for 12 dribbles = 12 x 0.565

         Time taken for 12 dribbles = 6.78 seconds      

It takes 6.78 seconds to complete 12 dribbles.

Consider a 2.54-cm-diameter power line for which the potential difference from the ground, 19.6 m below, to the power line is 11
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The line charge density is 1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 2.54 cm

Distance = 19.6 m

Potential difference = 115 kV

We need to calculate the line charge density

Using formula of potential difference

V=EA

V=\dfrac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_{0}r}\times\pi r^2

\lambda=\dfrac{V\times2\epsilon_{0}}{r}

Where, r = radius

V = potential difference

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{115\times10^{3}\times2\times8.8\times10^{-12}}{1.27\times10^{-2}}

\lambda=1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m

Hence, The line charge density is 1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m

Dos cargas Q1=2pc y Q2=4pc estan separadas por una distancia de 6cm ¿con que fuerza se atraen?
noname [10]

Here we can use coulomb's law to find the force between two charges

As per coulombs law

]tex]F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

here we have

k = 9 * 10^9

q_1 = 2pC

q_2 = 4pC

r = 6cm = 0.06 m

now by using the above equation we have

F = \frac{9*10^9 * 2*10^{-12} * 4*10^{-12}}{0.06^2}

F = 2 * 10^{-11} N

so here the force between two charges is of above magnitude and this will be repulsive force between them as both charges are of same sign.
