Patrick the pole vaulter is running with a 20m long pole toward a 10m long garage with doors at each end. Patrick is running so fast that to an observer O in the rest frame of the garage, the pole appears only 10m long (i. e. the pole would just fit inside the garage). a. In the frame of observer O, how fast is Patrick running?
b. The observer O closes very quickly the doors on both ends of the garage just as Patrick and the pole are inside, and then immediately opens them again so that Patrick can run out on the other end. However, according to Patrick, the garage is moving towards him and is only 5m long. How can Patrick and his 20m pole possibly make it through without hitting a door?

Will give brainliest! which statement best describes the difference between strong nuclear forces and weak nuclear forces? weak nuclear forces are involved when certain types of atoms break down. strong nuclear forces are responsible for holding atoms' nucleus together. weak nuclear forces hold bonds between atoms together. strong nuclear forces hold together the nucleus of an atom. strong nuclear bonds prevent atoms from falling apart. weak nuclear bonds prevent compounds from falling apart. strong nuclear forces are involved in breaking electrons from their shells. weak nuclear forces hold protons in the nucleus.

Arefrigerator uses r-134a as the working fluid and operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle except for the compression process. the refrigerant enters the evaporator at 120 kpa with a quality of 34 percent and leaves the compressor at 70°c. if the compressor consumes 450 w of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the condenser pressure, and (c) the cop of the refrigerator.
