Answer:

Since there are hundreds of nails, instead of puncturing your skin the nails actually support you.

Explanation:

If you step on the point of a nail, your foot exerts a tremendous amount of pressure on the nail's tiny point. As a result, the point can go straight through your foot. But a bed of nails has lots of points that are close together -- there's a lot of surface area for the body to cover. Hundreds of nails support the weight of your body instead of just one. Typically, your body doesn't exert enough pressure on any one nail for it to break the skin. You can even place a second bed on top of you and break a cinderblock on it. The resulting force is distributed over all of the nails, so you shouldn't be injured.

All matter is made up of subatomic particles that contain atoms.TrueFalse
antiseptic1488 [7]

All matter is made up of subatomic particles that contain atoms. This is false statement.

Everything in the universe  is made of matter, and so, everything in the universe is made of atoms. An atom itself is made up of three tiny kinds of particles called subatomic particles: <u>protons, neutrons, and electrons</u>.

All matter is made up of substances called elements, which have specific chemical and physical properties and cannot be broken down into other substances through ordinary chemical reactions.

Matter is anything which have mass and occupy some volume.

On earth, solid, liquid, and gas are the most common states of matter. Not only is water the most common substance on earth, but it is also the only substance that commonly appears as a solid, a liquid, and a gas within the normal range of earth's temperatures.

A 79.7 kg base runner begins his slide into second base while moving at a speed of 4.77 m/s. The coefficient of friction between
SashulF [63]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to the kinetic energy theorem. Said theorem states that the work done by the net force (sum of all forces) applied to a particle is equal to the change experienced by the kinetic energy of that particle. This is:

\Delta W = \Delta KE

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Here,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

m = 79.7kg

v = 4.77m/s

Replacing,

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (79.7kg)(4.77m/s)^2

\Delta W = 907J

Therefore the mechanical energy lost due to friction acting on the runner is 907J
