Answer:

This can spread their weight.

Explanation:

The ladder has a much larger surface area than the firefighter. Hence, his weight is spread out much more than usual, decreasing the pressure on the ice, preventing the ice from breaking/cracking.

Hope this helped!

Lilit [14]

Answer:60 gm

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity of ball $u=0$

Force exerted by racquet $F=540 N$

time period of force $t=5\ ms$

final velocity of ball $v=45\ m/s$

Racquet imparts an impulse to the ball which is given by

$J=F\Delta t=\Delta P$

$J=540\times \Delta t=m(45-0)$

$m=\frac{540\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{45}$

$m=60\ gm$

Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire out of 1.10 g of copper. If the wire is to have a resistance R = 0.390 Ω, and if al

Citrus2011 [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to volume, as a function of length and area, as of mass and density. Later we will take the same concept of resistance and resistivity, equal to the length per unit area. Once obtained from the known constants it will be possible to obtain the area by matching the two equations:

Mass of copper wire $(m) = 1.10g = 1.10*10^{-3} kg$

Density $(\rho)= 8.92*10^3kg/m^3$

Resistively of copper $(\gamma) = 1.7*10^{-8}\Omega \cdot m$

Resistance (R) = 0.390\Omega

Volume is defined as,

$V= lA \text{ and }\frac{m}{\rho}$

$lA= \frac{1.10*10^{-3}}{8.92*10^3}$

$lA = 1.233*10^{-7} m^3$ (1)

We know that,

$\frac{l}{A} = \frac{R}{\gamma}$

$\frac{l}{A}= \frac{0.390\Omega}{1.7*10^{-8}\Omega m}$

$\frac{l}{A} = 2.2941*10^7 m^{-1}$ (2)

Multiplying equation we have

$l^2 = (1.233*10^{-7})( 2.2941*10^7)$

$l^2 = 2.8286m^2$

$l =\sqrt{2.8286m^2}$

$l = 1.68m$

Therefore the length of the wire is 1.68m

How does a plasma differ from a gas

faltersainse [42]

<span>They are different and unique from the other states of matter. Plasma is different from a gas, because it is made up of groups of positively and negatively charged particles. In neon gas, the electrons are all bound to the nucleus. In neon plasma, the electrons are free to move around the system.

Hope this helps.
