Answer:
This can spread their weight.
Explanation:
The ladder has a much larger surface area than the firefighter. Hence, his weight is spread out much more than usual, decreasing the pressure on the ice, preventing the ice from breaking/cracking.

A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 22.4 m/s in the y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.206 m/s2 in the x direction. After 40.5 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the y direction.
Answer:
a. 23.9 m/s b. 69.58°
Explanation:
a. Since the space vehicle is moving at a constant velocity of 22.4 m/s in the y direction relative to the space station, its initial vertical velocity v = 22.4 m/s.
Also, since the space vehicle moves in the y direction, its initial horizontal velocity u = 0 m/s.
Since its acceleration a = 0.206 m/s² for time, t = 40.5 s, we find the final horizontal velocity u' from u' = u + at.
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
u' = u + at
u' = 0 m/s + 0.206 m/s² × 40.5 s
= 8.343 m/s
≅ 8.34 m/s
The resultant velocity relative to the space station V = √(v² + u'²)
= √[(22.4m/s)² + (8.34 m/s)²]
= √[501.76 m²/s² + (69.56 m²/s²]
= √[571.32 m²/s²]
= 23.9 m/s
b. The direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station is thus θ = tan⁻¹(v/u')
= tan⁻¹(22.4 m/s/8.34 m/s)
= tan⁻¹(2.6959)
= 69.58°
A 60.-kilogram physics student would weigh 1560
newtons on the surface of planet X. What is the
magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the
surface of planet X?
Answer:
26m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the student = 60kg
Weight = 1560N
Unknown:
Acceleration due to gravity = ?
Solution:
Weight is a force on a body due to gravity;
Weight = mass x gravity
Insert the given parameters and solve;
1560 = 60 x gravity
Gravity = [tex]\frac{1560}{60}[/tex] = 26m/s²

Jorge conducted an experiment,and included the graph shown below as part of his lab report.
Jorges experiment involved which if the following?
-A Chemical change.
-A change in the chemical properties of a substance.
-A physical change.
-the formation of a new substance.
The correct answer is A physical change
Explanation:
Jorge's experiment shows water at different temperatures; in this experiment, it is expected at low temperatures such as -20°C water is in solid-state (ice), at medium temperatures such as 40°C water is in a liquid state (liquid water), and at high temperatures such as 120°C water is in gaseous state (water vapor). This implies during this experiment the changing factor is the physical state (solid, gas, or liquid), and this is a physical change because only the physical properties of water change but not its composition or identity. According to this, the correct answer is physical change.

O D. 1.93 x 10-6N
The gravitational force between the asteroids is 2.7 × 10^-10 N.
What is gravitation?
Newton's universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between any two bodies is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them and directly proportional to the product of their masses.
Given that:
Two asteroids with masses 3.45 x 10^3 kg and 6.06 x 10^4 kg are separated by a distance of 7,200 m.
Hence, the gravitational force between the asteroids:
F = GmM/r²
= ( 6.67 x 10^-11 × 3.45 x 10^3 × 6.06 x 10^4)/( 7,200)² N
= 2.7 × 10^-10 N.

The total momentum of the given system is equal to zero. Therefore, option (C) is correct.
What is the law of conservation of momentum?The linear momentum can be described as the product of the mass times the velocity of that object. Conservation of momentum is a property of an object as the total amount of momentum stays the same.
According to the law of conservation of momentum, the sum of the momentum before and after the collision of the objects must be equal.
m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂
where u₁ and u₂ are initial speed while v₁ & v₂ is final speed and m₁ and m₂ is the mass of the collided objects.
The first ball, m = 8.52 g and v = 2.13 m/s
The momentum of the first ball = 18.15 g.m/s
The second ball is moving in the opposite direction w.r.t. first ball,
The second ball, m = 8.52 g and v = - 2.13 m/s
The momentum of the first ball = - 18.15 g.m/s
The total momentum of the system = 18.15 + (-18.15) = 0
Therefore, the total momentum of the given system is zero.

A slab of glass 8.0 cm thick is placed upon a printed page. If the refractive index of the glass is 1.5, how far from the surface would the letters appear to be when viewed from directly above?
Answer:
5.3 cm
Explanation:
This question is an illustration of real and apparent distance.
From the question, we have the following given parameters
Real Distance, R = 8.0cm
Refractive Index, μ = 1.5
Required
Determine the apparent distance (A)
The relationship between R, A and μ is:
μ = R/A
i.e.
Refractive Index = Real Distance ÷ Apparent Distance
Substitute values in the above formula
1.5 = 8/A
Multiply both sides by A
1.5 * A = A * 8/A
1.5A = 8
Divide both side by 1.5
1.5A/1.5 = 8/1.5
A = 8/1.5
A = 5.3cm
Hence, the letters would appear at a distance of 5.3cm

Balanced Forces acting on an object will not change the object's motion. Unbalanced Forces acting on an object will change the change the object's motion.
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
The answer is true.
Balance forces acting on a body will not change the motion of the body because the body experiences no net resultant force in one direction. When any body experiences equal forces with opposite directions, the net force or the resultant force experience by the body is zero.
In case of an unbalanced forces, there is a net force acting in one direction and so it causes the body to change in its state of motion in the direction of the net force.

A 50 km/hr wind is blowing due northwest what are the components of the wind in the northern
and western direction?
Answer:
The components of the wind in the northern direction is approximately 35.36 km/hr
Similarly, the components of the wind in the western direction is approximately 35.36 km/hr
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The magnitude of the speed of the wind, v = 50 km/hr
The direction of the wind = The northwest direction
Therefore;
Given that the angle between the northern and western direction = 90°
The angle in the northwestern direction, θ = 90°/2 = 45°
Therefore;
The components of the wind in the northern direction = [tex]v_y[/tex] = v × sin(θ)
Substituting the values, we have;
The components of the wind in the northern direction = [tex]v_y[/tex] = 50 × sin(45°) = 50/√2 ≈ 35.36 km/hr.
Similarly, the components of the wind in the western direction = vₓ = 50 × cos(45°) = 50/√2 ≈ 35.36 km/hr

Answer:
The electrostatic force is larger by a factor of 8.988E9 / 6.674E-11 = 1.35E20
Explanation:
William gave you all the ingredients, but not the answer. Being both 1/r^2 forces (resulting from massless mediators in QFT), and with unit charges in the problem (1 coulomb, 1 Kg), separated by unit distance (1m), the only nontrivial numerical values in the problem are the constants of proportionality: Coulomb's constant (k) and Newton's gravitational constant (G). So to "compare and constrast": the ratio of the forces is simply the ratio of these constants. The electromagnatic force is 1.35 X 10^20 times stronger than the gravitational force. Assuming positive charge on both objects (the problem is ambiguous on this), they are repelled, whereas the much weaker gravitational force is attractive. (Gravity only has one kind of "charge" - it's unsigned - and the force is always attractive).
The problem doesn't say the objects are pointlike: if they have some extent and are either conductive or made of some dielectric, then things get messy because the charge distribution on the object won't be uniform then, but save that for grad school. :-)
