Answer:

The shorter the blades(edges) are the more pressure can be applied. Because iron is a more dense and tougher material the edges must be short in order to provide enough pressure/force to break the bonds within the atoms.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

(a) $\vec{J}=176.4\frac{kg*m}{s} \hat{j}$

(b) $F=2125.30N$

Explanation:

(a) According to the law of conservation of energy, the potential energy of the person at 0.40 m is equal to its kinetic energy before the colision with the floor:

$\Delta U=\Delta K\\mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\v=\sqrt{2gh}\\v=\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(0.40m)}\\v=2.8\frac{m}{s}$

This is the initial velocity in the negative y-direction. Impulse is given by:

$\vec{J}=\Delta \vec{p}\\\vec{J}=m\vec{v_f}-m\vec{v_i}\\\vec{J}=63kg(0 \hat{j})-63kg(-2.8\frac{m}{s} \hat{j})\\\vec{J}=176.4\frac{kg*m}{s} \hat{j}$

(b) The average force is:

$F=\frac{J}{\Delta t}\\F=\frac{176.4\frac{kg*m}{s}}{0.083s}\\F=2125.30N$

Answer:

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.

Explanation:

Every force sent into an object will sent a force in return.
