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.

What happened to the balloon when it was placed on the bottle with the baking soda and vinegar and why.
user100 [1]

Answer:

The ballon would be inflated. The reason is that the sodium bicarbonate in baking soda reacts with acetic acid in vinegar to produce gas.

Explanation:

The main component of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, {\rm Na_{2}CO_{3}}.

Vinegar is mostly a solution of acetic acid {\rm CH_{3}COOH} in water.

Acids such as acetic acid react with carbonate salts. One of the products of such reactions is carbon dioxide {\rm CO_{2}}, a gas.

In this question, when the acetic acid in vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate in the baking soda, the following reaction would occur:

\begin{aligned}& {\rm Na_{2}CO_{3}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm CH_{3}COOH}\, (aq) \\ &\to 2\, {\rm CH_{3}COONa}\, (aq) + {\rm CO_{2}}\, (g)\end{aligned}.

The {\rm CO_{2}} produced would then inflate the ballon placed on the opening of the bottle.

A solid cylinder has a diameter of 17.4 mm and a length of 50.3mm. It's mass is 49g . What is its density of the cylinder in met
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

4 tonne/m³

Explanation:

ρ = m / V

ρ = 49 g / (π (17.4 mm / 2)² (50.3 mm))

ρ = 0.0041 g/mm³

Converting to tonnes/m³:

ρ = 0.0041 g/mm³ (1 kg / 1000 g) (1 tonne / 1000 kg) (1000 mm / m)³

ρ = 4.1 tonne/m³

Rounding to one significant figure, the density is 4 tonne/m³.

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at a constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcyc
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

(a) 3.807 s

(b) 145.581 m

Explanation:

Let Δt = t2 - t1 be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. We know that before the acceleration, both vehicles are travelling at a constant speed. So they would maintain a distance of 58 m prior to the acceleration.

The distance traveled by car after Δt (seconds) at v_c = 23m/s speed is

s_c = \Delta t v_c = 23\Delta t

The distance traveled by the motorcycle after Δt (seconds) at m_m = 23 m/s speed and acceleration of a = 8 m/s2 is

s_m = \Delta t v_m + a\Delta t^2/2

s_m = 23\Delta t + 8\Delta t^2/2 = 23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2

We know that the motorcycle catches up to the car after Δt, so it must have covered the distance that the car travels, plus their initial distance:

s_m = s_c + 58

23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2 = 23\Delta t + 58

4 \Delta t^2 = 58

\Delta t^2 = 14.5

\Delta t = \sqrt{14.5} = 3.807s

(b)

s_m = 23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2

s_m = 23*3.807 + 58 = 145.581 m
