Why do cats have tails?

Physics
1 answer:
tester [92]3 years ago
3 0
Cats have tails to help their balance. Similar to the stick a trapeze/high wire walker uses.

The tail helps to serve as a counterbalance when cats walk on narrow spaces such as fences or shelves. The tail also aids in balance when a cat is running after or jumping on prey.

Just so you know....Cats can live without tails.

Amy gets up from her seat on a train to move closer to the front. Just as she begins to walk forward, the train stops at a stati
Ivahew [28]
Have you ever been in a bus, a train, or a car ?
What happens to you when it stops suddenly ?

A body in motion continues in motion unless
an external force acts on it and makes it stop.

Amy's body keeps moving forward when the train stops.
She pitches forward, and if she doesn't reach out and grab
a seat or a seated person, she may lose her footing and fall
on her face.

Choice - 'A' is a very good explanation.
The other choices aren't.

'C' is a good hunch, but it only applies to her feet.
The rest of her keeps going.

'D' is nonsense.  There are no mysterious forces of
'repulsion' or 'attraction' on the train.

Is the sun yellow or is it orange.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

But the Sun isn't actually yellow; it's just an illusion caused by the Earth's atmosphere. The powerful processes happening inside the Sun are so robust that it emits every color of light imaginable. Together, these colors form a pure white light, which is precisely what you'd see from space.

An airplane pilot wishes to fly directly westward. According to the weather bureau, a wind of 75.0 km/hour is blowing southward.
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The speed of the plane relative to the ground is 300.79 km/h.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of wind = 75.0 km/hr

Speed of plane relative to the air = 310 km/hr

Suppose, determine the speed of the plane relative to the ground

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of angle

\sin\theta=\dfrac{v'}{v}

Where, v'=speed of wind

v= speed of plane

Put the value into the formula

\sin\theta=\dfrac{75}{310}

\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{75}{310})

\theta=14.0^{\circ}

We need to calculate the resultant speed

Using formula of resultant speed

\cos\theta=\dfrac{v''}{v}

Put the value into the formula

\cos14=\dfrac{v''}{310}

v''=\cos14\times310

v''=300.79\ km/h

Hence, The speed of the plane relative to the ground is 300.79 km/h.

A polo player hits a ball with a mass of 0.42 kg with a force of 7.35 Newtons.
Serga [27]
Due to the law of conservation of momentum, the force exerted on the mallet is equal and opposite to the force exerted on the ball, so the answer is C.

Which two surfaces have the lowest coefficient of friction
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

As an example, ice on steel has a low coefficient of friction – the two materials slide past each other easily – while rubber on pavement has a high coefficient of friction – the materials do not slide past each other easily. The coefficients of friction ranges from near 0 to greater than 1.
