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

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.

ichrome wire of cross-sectional radius 0.791 mm is to be used in winding a heating coil. If the coil must carry a current of 9.2
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

length is 23.228091 m

Explanation:

Given data

radius = 0.791 mm = 0.791 × 10^{-3} m

current =  9.25 A

voltage =  1.20 × 10² V

to find out

resistance and  length of wire

solution

we know the resistance formula that is

resistance = voltage / current

resistance = 1.20 × 10²  /9.25

resistance = 12.97

so resistance is 12.97 ohm

and length of nichrome wire formula is

length = resistance × area /  specific resistance of wire  

so specific resistance of wire  we know = 1.1 × 10^{-6}

and area = \pi × r² = \pi × (0.0791× 10^{-3})²

area = 1.97 × 10^{-6}

length =   12.97  × 1.97 × 10^{-6}  /  1.1 × 10^{-6}

so length is 23.228091 m

A 1,000 kg car is moving at 20 m/s, and slams into a building before coming to a halt.
ale4655 [162]

Hi there!

We can calculate linear momentum using the following:
\large\boxed{p = m v}

p = linear momentum (kgm/s)
m = mass (kg)
v = velocity (m/s)

Calculate:

p = 1000 * 20 = 20000 kg\frac{m}{s}

Now, we can relate force, time, and momentum with the following:
\large\boxed{I = Ft}\\\\

I = Impulse (kgm/s)
F = Force (N)
t = time (s)

Rearrange to solve for force:
F = \frac{I}{t}

The impulse is equal to the change in momentum. Since the car comes to a halt, all of its momentum is lost, so:

I = \Delta p = p_f - p_i = 0 - 20000 = -20000

Solve:
F = \frac{-20000}{0.5} = \boxed{-40000N}

**Negative force since the positive direction is towards the wall, and the negative direction is away from the wall.
