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!

A 1560-kilogram truck moving with a speed of 28.0 m/s runs into the rear end of a 1070-kilogram stationary car. If the collision

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Δ KE = 249158.6 kJ

Explanation:

given data

Truck mass M = 1560 Kg

Truck initial speed, u = 28 m/s

mass of car m = 1070 Kg

initial speed of car u1 = 0 m/s

solution

first we get here final speed by using conservation of momentum that is express as

Mu = (M+m) V .......................1

put here value we get

1560 × 28 = (1560 + 1070 ) V

solve it we get

final speed V = 16.60 m/s

and

Change in kinetic energy will be here

Δ KE = $\frac{1}{2} Mu^2 - \frac{1}{2}(M+m)V^2$ .................2

put here value and we get

Δ KE = $\frac{1}{2}\times 1560\times 28^2 - \frac{1}{2}\times (1560 + 1070)\times 16.60^2$

solve it we get

Δ KE = 249158.6 kJ

The net horizontal force on a car is 981 N. The car has a mass of 1550 kg and the force is applied when the car has a speed of 2

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Distance, d = 778.05 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the car, F = 981 N

Mass of the car, m = 1550 kg

Initial speed of the car, v = 25 mi/h = 11.17 m/s

We need to find the distance covered by car if the force continues to be applied to the car. Firstly, lets find the acceleration of the car:

$F=ma\\\\a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{981}{1550}\\\\a=0.632\ m/s^2$

Let d is the distance covered by car. Using second equation of motion as :

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=11.17\times 35+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.632\times (35)^2\\\\d=778.05\ m$

So, the car will cover a distance of 778.05 meters.

describes how the color and texture of a surface affect absorption and reflection of solar radiation?

Wewaii [24]

Most of the radiation, however, is absorbed by the earth's surface. ... Every surface on earth absorbs and reflects energy at varying degrees, based on its color and texture. Dark-colored objects absorb more visible radiation; light-colored objects reflect more visible radiation.

A skier is accelerating down a 30.0-degree hill at 3.80 m/s^2.

Bond [772]

Answer:

ax = -3.29[m/s²]

ay = -1.9[m/s²]

Explanation:

We must remember that acceleration is a vector and therefore has magnitude and direction.

In this case, it is accelerating downwards, therefore for a greater understanding we will make a diagram of said vector, this diagram is attached.

$a_{x}=-3.8*cos(30) = -3.29 [m/s^{2}]\\ a_{y}=-3.8*sin(30) = -1.9 [m/s^{2}]$

Groups of students are making measurements of small cars rolling across a table. the class has measuring tapes with markings in

TiliK225 [7]

To find the accurate measurement of small cars, the teacher asks students to make all the measurements in centimeters.

Centimeters Measurements:

A centimeter is a metric unit of measurement used for measuring the length of an object, It is written as cm
Centimeter is one hundredth of a meter, 1 meter is 0.01 cm.

Inches measurements:

An inch can be defined as a unit of length in the customary system of measurement. Length in inches is either represented by in or ''.
1 meter is equal to 39.37 inches

here, the cars are small objects.

The number of centimeters is always bigger,

because a centimeter unit is smaller than an inch unit, and it takes more of them when we are measuring.

Hence,

To find the accurate measurement of small cars, the teacher asks students to make all the measurements in centimeters.
