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!

ASK YOUR TEACHER A baseball with a mass of 146 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 40.6 m/s (91 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the ball = 146 g = 146 / 1000 = 0.146 kg

initial speed of the ball = 40.6 m/s

final speed of the ball = - 45.1 m/s

time of impact = 1.05 ms = 1.05 / 1000 = 0.00105 s

impulse, Ft = change in momentum = mv - mu = m (v-u)

F = m (v - u) / t = 0.146 kg ( -45.1 -40.6) / 0.00105 s = -11916.4 N

An object is placed in front of a convex mirror with a radius of curvature of magnitude 10 cm. The mirror produces an image that
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

u = - 20 cm

m =\frac{1}{5}

Given:

Radius of curvature, R = 10 cm

image distance, v = 4 cm

Solution:

Focal length of the convex mirror, f:

f = \frac{R}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5 cm

Using Lens' maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

Substitute the given values in the above formula:

\frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{4}

u = - 20 cm

where

u = object distance

Now, magnification is the ratio of image distance to the object distance:

magnification, m =\frac{|v|}{|u|}

magnification, m =\frac{|4|}{|-20|}

m =\frac{4}{20}

m =\frac{1}{5}

What is non-point source pollution and why is this kind of pollution hard to monitor and control?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

When the source of pollution is widely distributive in nature, it is called as the Non-point source pollution, for example, <em>acid rain</em>.

Explanation:

the source of pollution when is <em>not concentrated over a particular area</em> or any particular defined pinpoint is termed to be as the Non - point source pollution.

this type of pollution is very hard to be monitored or controlled due to its nature of widely distributive nature of the origin. It has <em>several pathways</em> for the effect to undertake and thus the control over the effect is <em>not easily accessible. </em>

For example, during rain, the tree fall off can enter water stream from any source, either be it open lake or ponds or even street fall offs.
