jasenka [17]3 years ago

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.

How can you measure the distance an object has moved?
Naily [24]

You must observe the object twice.

-- Look at it the first time, and make a mark where it is.

-- After some time has passed, look at the object again, and
make another mark at the place where it is.

-- At your convenience, take out your ruler, and measure the
distance between the two marks.

What you'll have is the object's "displacement" during that period
of time ... the distance between the start-point and end-point. 
Technically, you won't know the actual distance it has traveled
during that time, because you don't know the route it took.

A flywheel with a diameter of 1.63 m is rotating at an angular speed of 79.9 rev/min. (a) What is the angular speed of the flywh
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

(a) 8.362 rad/sec

(b) 6.815 m/sec

(c) 9.446 rad/sec^2

(d) 396.22 revolution

Explanation:

We have given that diameter d = 1.63 m

So radius r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.63}{2}=0.815m

Angular speed N = 79.9 rev/min

(a) We know that angular speed in radian per sec

\omega =\frac{2\pi N}{60}=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 79.9}{60}=8.362rad/sec

(b) We know that linear speed is given by

v=r\omega =0.815\times 8.362=6.815m/sec

(c) We have given final angular velocity \omega _f=675rev/min

And \omega _i=79.9rev/min

Time t = 63 sec

Angular acceleration is given by \alpha =\frac{\omega _f-\omega _i}{t}=\frac{675-79.9}{63}=9.446rad/sec^2

(d) Change in angle is given by

\Theta =\frac{1}{2}(\omega _i+\omega _f)t=\frac{1}{2}(675+79.9)\times 1.05=396.22rev

If a system has 225 kcal of work done to it, and releases 5.00 × 102 kj of heat into its surroundings, what is the change in int
vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system

W is the work done by the system on the surrounding


In this problem, the work done by the system is

W=-225 kcal=-941.4 kJ

with a negative sign because the work is done by the surrounding on the system, while the heat absorbed is

Q=-5 \cdot 10^2 kJ=-500 kJ

with a negative sign as well because it is released by the system.


Therefore, by using the initial equation, we find

\Delta U=Q-W=-500 kJ+941.4 kJ=441.4 kJ

The mixture you separated was a mixture of iron filings, sand, and salt. Based on your understanding of matter, is this mixture
V125BC [204]

Answer: Heterogeneous mixture - the parts are not uniformly mixed.

A mixture contains components having distinct chemical properties. There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous. In a homogeneous mixture there is uniform distribution of components. we cannot distinguish one portion of the mixture from another. for example salt mixed in water. In heterogeneous mixture, the components are not uniformly mixed. hence, we are able to distinguish different parts of a mixture, like the mixture of iron, sand and salt given in this question.
