Why does a heavier person slide down a hill faster than a lighter person when on a snow tube?
because the heavier person has more initeria and therefore the forces that would slow the slider down i.e friction, wind resistance, whatever, have less effect on a heavier person that a lighter person
Would a lighter person or heavier go faster on a skatebpard?
heaver people would go faster simply because a heaver person could push their weight forward more creating greater acelaration.
If a person throws a ball on a skateboard the skateboard will go backward at the same rate as the ball slower than the ball or faster than the ball?
The answer is tied up with conservation of momentum; momentum is the product of velocity and mass, so assuming the ball is lighter than the skateboard and rider, the skateboard will go backwards slower than the ball.
how to test if parachutes fall faster or slower when the person is heavier?
.
Will a heavier person sink faster in quicksand?
No, a heavier person will not sink faster in quicksand. The sinking rate in quicksand is determined by the density and viscosity of the quicksand itself, not the weight of the person.
How does a lighter lift a heaver person on a seesaw?
A lighter person sitting closer to the pivot point of a seesaw exerts a smaller torque compared to a heavier person sitting farther from the pivot point. This difference in torque allows the heavier person to be lifted. The principle involved is torque, or the rotational force, in relation to the pivot point.
How do you make a pocket bike faster with no performance parts?
if you want it to go faster with no performance parts you will need a lighter person
The heavier a person is the more calories they will burn per minute is that true?
Yes, it is true. Gravity plays a part in this. You see, it takes a heavier person more effort to burn calories than a lighter person because, because of their larger weight, they are being pulled down more, meaning they fight against gravity, more than the lighter person would. For example if a light and heavy person began and ran up stairs at the same time, it would be harder for the heavier person because more gravity is acting upon them. Hehehe, if the heavy and light person fell down, it would hurt more for the heavier person.
If you weigh less do you burn more calories when running?
theoretically a heavier person will burn more calories running the same distance than a lighter person. There is more muscle and more mass to be moved on a heavier person therefore more energy is needed.
How is the pulse rate affected by the flow of blood?
The faster and heavier that the flow of blood is, the higher pulse rate a person will have because the heart is pumping faster.
Why does a heavier person go down the slide faster?
because a heavier person has more inertia, and therefore the forces that work to slow the person down, i.e. friction, wind resistance, whatever, will have less effect on an object with more inertia than less inertia
Do two people on a sledge go faster than one?
yes, the more weight added on to it will make it faster but one person or the lighter weight will get a head start.
