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!

Through what vertical height is a 50 N object moved if 250 J of work is done lifting it against the gravitational field of Earth
zimovet [89]

5m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of object = 50N

Work done in lifting object = 250J

Unknown:

Vertical height = ?

Solution:

The work done on an object is the force applied to lift a body in a specific direction.

   Work done = force x distance

  Weight is a force in the presence of gravity;

  Work done = weight x height of lifting

Height of lifting = \frac{work done }{weight}

 Height of lifting = \frac{250}{50} = 5m

The vertical height through which the object was lifted is 5m

Two identical 0.400 kg masses are pressed against opposite ends of a light spring of force constant 1.75 N/cm, compressing the s
nlexa [21]

Answer:

0.853 m/s

Explanation:

Total energy stored in the spring = Total kinetic energy of the masses.

1/2ke² = 1/2m'v².................... Equation 1

Where k = spring constant of the spring, e = extension, m' = total mass, v = speed of the masses.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = e[√(k/m')].................... Equation 2

Given: e = 39 cm = 0.39 m, m' = 0.4+0.4 = 0.8 kg, k = 1.75 N/cm = 175 N/m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 0.39[√(1.75/0.8)

v = 0.39[2.1875]

v = 0.853 m/s

Hence the speed of each mass = 0.853 m/s
