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

Physics

jasenka [17]2 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.

Alex787 [66]
Hey there!

The answer would be B. The sound moves from air to water.

Sound travels through different mediums. It goes fastest in solids, a little slower in liquids, and slowest in air. Sound is a very fast wave, but remember that mediums can differ that. In a vacuum space, there is no sound at all. (ex. outer space)

Hope this helps !

Why is salt water a better conductor of electricity than river water?
Tamiku [17]

Answer: The conductivity of water depends on the concentration of dissolved ions in solution. ... This is because the Sodium Chloride salt dissociates into ions. Hence sea water is about a million times more conductive than fresh water.

A 10.0-kg box starts at rest and slides 3.5 m down a ramp inclined at an angle of 10° with the horizontal. If there is no fricti
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

v_f = 3.45 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that box was initially at rest

so here work done by all forces on the box = change in its kinetic energy

so we will have

mg sin\theta L = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

now we have

m = 10 kg

\theta = 10^0

L = 3.5 m

so we will have

10(9.81)sin10 \times 3.5 = \frac{1}{2}(10)(v_f^2 - 0)

2(9.81) sin10 \times 3.5 = v_f^2

so final speed is given as

v_f = 3.45 m/s
