The picture below shows a man in Varanasi, India, resting on a bed of nails. Which principle about impact force

Physics
1 answer:
jasenka [17]3 years ago
7 0

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.

A cork shoots out of a champagne bottle at an angle of 40.0 above the horizontal. If the cork travels a horizontal distance of 1
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The initial speed of the cork was 1.57 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the horizontal position of the cork in function of time is the following:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos θ

Where:

x = horizontal position at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial speed of the cork.

t = time.

θ = launching angle.

If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the launching point, then x0 = 0.

We know that at t = 1.25 s, x = 1.50 m. We also know the launching angle so we can solve the equation of horizontal position for the initial speed, v0:

x = v0 · t · cos θ

x / t · cos θ = v0

v0 = 1.50 m / (1.25 s · cos (40.0°)

v0 = 1.57 m/s

The initial speed of the cork was 1.57 m/s.

What is Newton's first law
Anastaziya [24]
Newton’s first law is motion. For example, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
