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]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.

If santa slides 5.00 m before reaching the edge, what is his speed as he leaves the roof?
AveGali [126]

Even with no friction, it depends on the slope of the roof. That is, it depends on how much elevation (altitude) he loses during the slide.

Whatever that number is ... call it 'h' ... Santa's speed when he reaches the edge is

Square root of (19.6h) meters per second.

It doesn't matter how much he weighs, or how far he has slud. Only how much altitude he lost on the slope while sliding.

As shown in the figure below, Justin walks from the house to his truck on a windy day. He walks 20 m toward
juin [17]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The velocity is   v =0.333 \  m/s in positive x -direction

The speed is s = 0.733 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance from the house to truck is  D =  20 m

  The distance traveled back to retrieve  wind-blown hat is  d =  15

  The distance from the wind-blown hat position too the truck is  k =  20  m

  The total time taken is  t  =  75 s

Generally when calculating the displacement the Justin's backward movement to collect his wind - blown hat is taken as negative

Generally Justin's displacement is mathematically represented as

      L  =  20 - 15 + 20

=>    L  =  25 \ m

Generally the average velocity is mathematically represented as

          v  =  \frac{L}{t}

=>      v = \frac{25}{75}

=>      v =0.333 \  m/s

Generally the distance covered by Justin is mathematically represented as  

         R =  D+ d + k

=>      R =  20 + 15 +20

=>     R =  55 \  m

Generally Justin's average speed over a 75 s period is mathematically represented as

            s = \frac{R}{ t}

=>         s = \frac{55}{ 75}

=>        s = 0.733 \ m/s

A uniform rod rotates in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through one end. The rod is 3.46 m long, weighs 12.8 N, and ro
Mkey [24]

Answer:

a. Rotational inertia: 5.21kgm²

b. Magnitude of it's angular momentum: 123.32kgm²/s

Explanation:

Length of the rod = 3.46m

Weight of the rod = 12.8 N

Angular velocity of the rod= 226 rev/min

a. Rotational Inertia (I) about its axis

The formula for rotational inertia =

I = (1/12×m×L²) + m × ( L ÷ 2)²

Where L = length of the rod

m = mass of the rod

Mass of the rod is calculated by dividing the weight of the rod with the acceleration due to gravity.

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Mass of the rod = 12.8N/ 9.81m/s²

Mass of the rod = 1.305kg

Rotational Inertia =

(1/12× 1.305 × 3.46²)+ 1.305 ( 3.46÷2)²

Rotational Inertia =  1.3019115 + 3.9057345

Rotational Inertia = 5.207646kgm²

Approximately = 5.21kgm²

b. The magnitude of the rod's angular momentum about the rotational axis is calculated as

Rotational Inertia about its axis × angular speed of the rod.

Angular speed of the rod is calculated as= (Angular velocity of the rod × 2π)/60

= (226×2π) /60

= 23.67 rad/s

Rotational Inertia = 5.21kgm²

The magnitude of the rod's angular momentum about the rotational axis

= 5.21kgm²× 23.67 rad/s

= 123.3207kgm²/s

Approximately = 123.32kgm²/s
