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 250 kg cart is at the top of a hill that is 32 m high, what is its potential energy?
atroni [7]

Answer:

<h2>80,000 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 250 × 10 × 32

We have the final answer as

<h3>80,000 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

If a boulder has a weight of 675,000 N what is it’s mass
Anarel [89]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity where the object is)

You didn't tell us WHERE the boulder is, so I have to assume that it's on Mars, where the acceleration of gravity is 3.71 m/s².

675,000 N = (mass) (3.71 m/s²)

Mass = (675,000 N) / (3.71 m/s²)

<em>Mass = 181,941 kilograms</em>

The same weight on Earth would suggest a mass of only 68,807 kg, so you can see how important it is to know where you are when you make your measurements.

A 40.0 -kg box initially at rest is pushed 5.00 m along a rough, horizontal floor with a constant applied horizontal force of 13
Irina18 [472]

The work done by the gravitational force = 0

Given the mass of the box = 40 kg

The box is initially at rest.

Distance moved by the applied force = 5m

Force applied = 130 N

Co-efficient of friction between the box and floor = 0.3

The box is moved only in the horizontal direction by the applied force.

Gravitational force is applied in a direction perpendicular to the applied force. hence it doesn't do any work on the box.

Therefore, the work done by the gravitational force is zero.
