So, why can a properly executed karate kick break a concrete block without fracturing bones [16]? first, bone is a very strong m

aterial. its ultimate compressive strength is approximately 40 times larger than concrete. second, contact is made with the edge of the foot. this concentrates the force into a small area of the target and reduces the likelihood of bending a bone to the point of fracture. third, the collision with the target is essentially inelastic and extends over several milliseconds, so the peak force, though large, does not exceed the strength of the bone.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

What is the acceleration of an object moving at a constant speed?

The Meaning of Constant Acceleration

The data table above show an object changing its velocity by 10 m/s in each consecutive second. This is referred to as a constant acceleration since the velocity is changing by a constant amount each second.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Hooke's law! F(spring)=-kx

There's no tricky square law here. The spring constant doesn't change, only x (distance stretched) changes. Therefore, if distance is halved, Force will be halved.

How can a karate expert break a concrete block
FinnZ [79.3K]

Many ways, but some of the most famous are kicks (side, back, front, snap) or a smash.

Hope it helped! :)

Net force help please.
nekit [7.7K]
The net force is the total force. Add 4 and 2 together and you get 6. Since 5 N are pushing against it, you subtract that from 6. The net force is 1 N.
