In a game of egg-toss, you and a partner are throwing an egg back and forth trying not to break it. Given your knowledge of mome

ntum, what hint could you give to your partner to keep the force of impact on the egg as low as possible? Clearly explain your answer.

F=dP/dt.  So you want the momentum to change as slowly as possible in time to minimize the force.  So as you catch the egg, let your hand move backward with it for awhile, slowly bringing it to a stop.  If you hold your hand steady when you catch it the force due to the impact could break it.

A typical human contains 5.00 l of blood, and it takes 1.00 min for all of it to pass through the heart when the person is resti
Mrrafil [7]
<span>(a) 0.0676 l (b) 67.6 cc So we've been told that 5.00 L of blood flows through the heart every minute and that the heart beats 74.0 times per minute. So that means that for every beat of the heart, 5.00 L / 74.0 = 0.067567568 L of blood flows through the heart. Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.0676 l. Converting from liters to cubic centimeters simply require a multiplication by 1000, so we have 67.6 cc of blood pumped per beat.</span>

TEA [102]
I think the correct answer would be A. If you are waiting to turn left into a small parking lot and a car is approaching from the opposite direction has a turn signal on, then you should wait until the other car starts its turn before making your turn. According to the general law on making a left turn, left turns should yield to the oncoming traffic. The vehicle that arrives in the intersection first would have the right of way to turn left. However, when there are two vehicles arrives at the intersection almost at the same time, then the one on the right would have the right of way.

prohojiy [21]
Henry will lift 200 N load 20 m up a ladder in 40 s.  While the Ricardo will take 400 N load in 80 seconds. So, For Henry to take 400 N load it will take him 80 seconds in two attempts. And,also, he will have to cover 40 m of distance.

A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g
Liula [17]
The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is 
                        D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²) 
           Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected 
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does. 
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t²  

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t² 

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)

Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:

  -- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'

                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .-- 

They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the surface of the Moon.

A 2-kg wood block is pulled by a string across a rough horizontal floor. The string exerts a tension force of 30 N on the block
Luden [163]

Answer:

Work done, W = 84.57 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the wooden block, m = 2 kg

Tension force acting on the string, F = 30 N

Angle made by the block with the horizontal, \theta=20^{\circ}

Distance covered by the block, d = 3 m

Let W is the work done by the tension force. It can be calculated as :

W=F\ cos\theta\times d

W=30\times cos(20)\times 3

W = 84.57 Joules

So, the work done by the tension force is 84.57 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
