A man is picked up by a tornado and dropped a quarter mile away from his home. Even though authorities estimate that his body wa

s dropped at 30 mph he suffered no major injuries. What factors contributed to the fact that his body was able to withstand this drop?

Answer:

the factor that contributed to the fact that he was able to survive this fall is due to the fact that his body is made up of bone which are strong and his skeleton also protected all his vitals internal organs. His body went limp after he was knocked in the head when he fell, all of these made room allowing his muscles to relax and this gave his bones the opportunity to absorb the impact of the fall

Two asteroids identical to those above collide at right angles and stick together; i.e, their initial velocities were perpendicu
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

velocity = 62.89 m/s  in 58 degree measured from the x-axis

Explanation:

Relevant information:

Before the collision, asteroid A of mass 1,000 kg moved at 100 m/s, and asteroid B of mass 2,000 kg moved at 80 m/s.

Two asteroids moving with velocities collide at right angles and stick together. Asteroid A initially moving to right direction and asteroid B initially move in the upward direction.

Before collision Momentum of A = 1000 x 100 = $ 10^5$ kg - m/s in the right direction.

Before collision Momentum of B = 2000 x 80 = 1.6 x $ 10^5$  kg - m/s in upward direction.

Mass of System of after collision = 1000 + 2000 = 3000 kg

Now applying the Momentum Conservation, we get

Initial momentum in right direction = final momentum in right direction = $ 10^5$

And, Initial momentum in upward direction = Final momentum in upward direction = 1.6 x $ 10^5$

So, $ V_x = \frac{10^5}{3000} $  = $ \frac{100}{3} $  m/s

and $ V_y=\frac{160}{3}$  m/s

Therefore, velocity is = $ \sqrt{V_x^2 + V_y^2} $

                                   = $ \sqrt{(\frac{100}{3})^2 + (\frac{160}{3})^2} $

                                   = 62.89 m/s

And direction is

tan θ = $ \frac{V_y}{V_x}$     = 1.6

therefore, $ \theta = \tan^{-1}1.6 $

                   = $ 58 ^{\circ}$  from x-axis

In lecture, it was discussed measurements of mass, temperature, time, volume and length. which of these is not an si base unit (
photoshop1234 [79]

From the options provided in the question, the measurement which is not an SI base unit is volume.

<h3>What is SI base unit?</h3>

This is referred to as the standard and fundamental unit of measurement of various quantities or variables which is defined arbitrarily and not by combinations of other units.

Volume is a quantity which is derived from the combination of lengths in a  three-dimensional manner which is why the formula is length× breadth×height and the unit is cm³. This is gotten from the combination of the unit of length which is cm.

This is therefore the reason why volume was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

Answer:

The fall in temperature of the liquid is 8.6 +/- 0.1 ⁰C

Explanation:

Given;

initial temperature of the liquid, t₁ = 76.3  +/-  0.4⁰C

final temperature of the liquid, t₂ = 67.7  +/-  0.3⁰C

The change in temperature of the liquid is calculated as;

Δt = t₂  -  t₁

Δt = (67.7 - 76.3)  +/-  (0.3 - 0.4)

Δt = (-8.6)  +/-  (-0.1)

Δt = 8.6 +/- 0.1 ⁰C

Therefore, the fall in temperature of the liquid is 8.6 +/- 0.1 ⁰C
