If you throw a raw egg against a wall, you'll break it, but if you throw it with the same speed into a sagging sheet it won't br

eak. why? 1. the sheet is much slicker than the wall. 2. the breaking egg causes a larger impact time, decreasing the force. 3. the impact time when the egg strikes a sagging sheet is long, so the impact force is small. 4. the velocity of the egg decreases faster in the sheet than on the wall.

<span>The egg doesn't break when it hits the sheet because the impact time is longer. Momentum means the egg is slowed rather than coming to an abrubt halt. The softer the object that the egg hits, the longer the time it takes to break. A sheet is so soft that the force is never high enough for the egg to break.</span>

Which causes the thermocline?
Igoryamba
<span>Thermocline is a layer between warm water from the ocean’s surface and cool water from below the ocean. In here, the temperature decreases rapidly from the warmer layer to the colder layer.  A thermocline forms due to the heat of the sun heating the ocean’s surface. Because of the difference in density between warm and cooler ocean water, cooler ocean water sinks and warmer ocean water floats. This is caused due to the heat and mass transfer between particles of the ocean. The answer is letter C. The sun’s radiation does not extend below a certain depth; therefore, deeper ocean water is colder than surface water.</span>

A 90kg man is standing still on frictionless ice. His friend tosses him a 10kg ball, which has a horizontal velocity of 20m/s. A
Ludmilka [50]
Using the conservation of momentum,
ma*va1 + mb*vb1 = ma*va2 + mb*vb2
Let:
ma = mass of the ball
va = velocity of the ball
mb = mass of the man
vb = velocity of the man
The subscript 1 is known as initials while 2 is for finals.
Before the man throws the ball, he starts at rest, meaning the initial velocity of the ball and the initial velocity of the man are zero. So
0 = ma*va2 + mb*vb2
Given ma = 10 kg; va = 20 m/s; mb = 90 kg; vb is unknown, therefore
-(mb*vb2) = ma*va2
vb2 = -(ma*va2)/mb2 = -(10*20)/90 = -2.22 m/s
Notice that his velocity is negative because when he finally throws the ball (say to the right), he moves at the opposite direction (that is to the left) on which he stands on the frictionless surface.

Beam design what is the maximum code-allowable floor beam deflection under the given live load?
Irina18 [472]

According to I.S. standards, the maximum deflection should typically not be greater than 1/325 of the span.

<h3>What is Beam deflection?</h3>

A beam is a long segment of a body that can support a weight while defying bending. Beam deflection is the term for the movement of a beam when a force is applied to it in a certain direction.

The beam has the ability to be bent or shifted from its initial position. The deflection is represented by this distance along each member point.

The amount of displacement that a certain structural member may experience with the aid of a sizable amount of load is known as deflection. It may also be known as the angle or the separation. The slope of the deflected form of the body under a load directly influences the distance of deflection of a member under that force.
