In boxing, the use of 16-ounce gloves rather than 12-ounce gloves reduces the chance of injury because the force is distributed

over a greater area.A. TrueB. False

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Here we have assumed that increasing the mass of a glove will increase the surface area.

Injury is caused by the application of pressure at a point on the body. The application of pressure takes place via the area of the gloves. Pressure is given by

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

where

F = Force

A = Area to which the force is applied

So, a bigger glove will increase the surface area and reduce the pressure resulting in a lower chance of injury.

Hence, the statement is true.

If points a and b are connected by a wire with negligible resistance, find the magnitude of the current in the 12.0 v battery.
Marizza181 [45]
V = I * R
Where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Using Ohm's law, you require resistance to find the current through the wire. Technically, if the wire has a resistance of 0, you will get infinite current. But this isn't possible. Maybe the negligible resistance refers to the battery's internal resistance - not the wire's resistance.

The barometer of a mountain hiker reads 930 mbars at the beginning of a hiking trip and 780 mbars at the end. Neglecting the eff
lara31 [8.8K]
We could use the change of pressure to calculate for the height climbed by the mountain hiker. The change of pressure is given by

p = rho * g * h, where p is the change of pressure, rho is the air density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.

Using the conversion 1 mbar = 100 Pa,

(930 - 780)(100) = (1.20)(9.80)h
15000 = 1.20*9.80*h

h = 1.28 km

How are the energy conversions of machines similar to the energy conversions in your body
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

When we eat food, our body gets chemical energy from it. Now, this chemical energy from the food is changed into some different energy forms that is useful to it. They include:

-Chemical to mechanical energy to aid in movement of muscles

- chemical to thermal energy to aid in regulating the body temperature.

- chemical to electrical energy to aid the brain in thinking.

Thus is similar to how a machine converts energy because machines also generate energy after being powered and convert to other forms of energy. For example, an alarm clock converts electrical energy to sound energy, hair dryer converts electrical energy to thermal/heat energy.
