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!

Boyle's Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P P and volume V V satisfy th
Verdich [7]

Answer:

the volume decreases at the rate of 500cm³ in 1 min

Explanation:

given

v = 1000cm³, p = 80kPa, Δp/t= 40kPa/min

PV=C

vΔp + pΔv = 0

differentiate with respect to time

v(Δp/t) + p(Δv/t) = 0

(1000cm³)(40kPa/min) + 80kPa(Δv/t) = 0

40000 + 80kPa(Δv/t) = 0

Δv/t = -40000/80

= -500cm³/min

the volume decreases at the rate of 500cm³ in 1 min

what is the magnitude of the vector described below? 13 m/s to the east a. east b. meters per second c. 13 m/s d. meters
Katen [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Magnitude of any quantity is the measurable value of the quantity. While the direction of the given quantity is the specific pointing direction of position or the angle at which it move.

The magnitude of the vector described below? 13 m/s to the east will be 13 m/s

While the direction will be eastward.

Therefore, the magnitude is 13 m/s

The correct answer is option C

What would changing the frequency of a wave do to the wave?
nata0808 [166]
The data convincingly show that wave frequency does not affect wave speed. An increase in wave frequency caused a decrease in wavelength while the wave speed remained constant. The last three trials involved the same procedure with a different rope tension.
