Why does it hurt more when you fall on concrete than on grass?

Physics

Alexus [3.1K]3 years ago

Answer:

Smaller forces are easier on your legs and you prefer to land on soft grass. Momentum/impulse explanation: Whether you land on concrete or soft grass, your change in momentum will be identical. A hard surface that brings you to a stop in 0.01 s requires a much larger force of 15,000 N.

How much displacement will a spring with a constant of 120N / m achieve if it is stretched by a force of 60N?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

There's a formula for this:

F = k*displacement

F being force, k being the spring constant, and displacement being the change in x

We are given the force and the spring constant, so this is essentially isolating the Δx term. Do 60N/120N per meter. The newtons cancel out and you get a final answer of Δx = 0.5 meters

Discuss whether any work is being done by each of the following agents and, if so, whether the work is positive or negative: (a)
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

a) As the chicken is still, the displacement is zero, which implies that the work is zero.

b) as the person is still there is no displacement therefore the work is zero

c) Lagraua applies a vertical force and the displacement is vertical, therefore the Work is positive

d) the force of gravity is directed downwards and the displacement is upwards, therefore the angle between it is 180º and the 180º fly is -1. Consequently the lock is negative

e) when the person meticulously feels the upward force and the displacement is downward, therefore the work is negative

Explanation:

Work is defined by the expression

        W = F. r

bold letters indicate vectors, we can write this expression as a module

        W= F r cos θ

where is at the angle between force and displacement.

Let's apply this expression to the different cases

a) As the chicken is still, the displacement is zero, which implies that the work is zero.

b) as the person is still there is no displacement therefore the work is zero

c) Lagraua applies a vertical force and the displacement is vertical, therefore the Work is positive

d) the force of gravity is directed downwards and the displacement is upwards, therefore the angle between it is 180º and the 180º fly is -1. Consequently the lock is negative

e) when the person meticulously feels the upward force and the displacement is downward, therefore the work is negative

Your friend just challenged you to a race through an obstacle course. You know in order to beat him, you must run 30 meters with
seropon [69]

Answer:

Velocity = 0.5 m/s South (A)

Explanation:

You need to determine the average rate of velocity.  

The equation you will use is velocity = displacement/time

The displacement is 30m South.

The time is 60 seconds.

Plug into the equation  Velocity = 30m South/60 s

Velocity = 0.5 m/s South
