Why do you hurt more when you fall on a cemented floor than mud floor?

When you fall on a mud floor, the mud compacts down like a pillow. It is soft and slows down your fall. But the cement floor is very hard and rigid. It does not compress down like a pillow. So you feel the impact alot more.


Can temperature affect solidity?

Yes, temperature can affect the solidity of a substance. When temperature increases, most solids will expand and become less solid, potentially melting into a liquid state. Conversely, when temperature decreases, solids tend to contract and become more rigid.


Why wouldn't a glass break when it fall to an carpeted floor verses and hardwood floor in terms of impact force and contact time?

A glass might be less likely to break on a carpeted floor compared to a hardwood floor because the carpet can absorb some of the impact force and provide a cushioning effect, increasing the contact time and reducing the pressure exerted on the glass. In contrast, a hardwood floor is harder and offers less give upon impact, increasing the likelihood of the glass breaking due to the higher pressure and shorter contact time.


Why does the person in the top floor will get less amount of water than the person in the ground floor when their taps are opened at the same time?

The person on the top floor will receive less water because they are against the force of gravity, which creates less pressure in the pipes. As water is pulled downwards, the pressure decreases with height. This results in a lower flow rate for the person on the top floor compared to the person on the ground floor.


In a solid liquid mixture of this substance will the solid float or sink?

Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.

When we fall on sand you get less hurt but when you fall on concrete you get more hurt Why?

sand is soft and concret is hardsand is not a solid and cocret is a solid so it hurts*******************Both are solids but size could be different. Try landing on pulverized concrete and they should feel the same... Since the sand have tiny particles, they move and absorb the impact when you fall.

It has less because you add a solid and liquid together and you get less.


Which floor is the best flooring for our home or office?

Solid parquet flooring blocks are hard wearing and look nice when polished. Carpeting is less noisy, but needs daily vacuuming and monthly cleaning, especially in areas of heavy use. Ceramic floor tiles are easy to clean with a mop, and can look very nice.In the home, if there are children, a mixture of parquet (for whizzing toy cars up and down) and carpet (for the child to fall asleep on) is a good compromise.
