Explain why when a firefighter rescues a dog that has fallen through ice on a
lake, they put their ladder on the ice first and then crawl out to the dog on the
ladder.

Respuesta :

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.

Hope this helped!
