Describe the friction of smooth surfaces

1 answer:

7 0

When two surfaces slide against each other, a force called friction makes them stick very slightly together. Smooth surfaces, like ice and glass, are easy to slide over. They create very little friction. Rough surfaces like rock and sand create much more friction, and are easy to grip on to.

hope it helps...!!!

To apply Problem-Solving Strategy 12.2 Sound intensity. You are trying to overhear a most interesting conversation, but from you

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

r₂ = 0.316 m

Explanation:

The sound level is expressed in decibels, therefore let's find the intensity for the new location

β = 10 log $\frac{I}{I_o}$

let's write this expression for our case

β₁ = 10 log \frac{I_1}{I_o}

β₂ = 10 log \frac{I_2}{I_o}

β₂ -β₁ = 10 ( $log \frac{I_2}{I_o} - log \frac{I_1}{I_o}$ )

β₂ - β₁ = 10 $log \frac{I_2}{I_1}$

log \frac{I_2}{I_1} = $\frac{60 - 20}{10}$ = 3

$\frac{I_2}{I_1}$ = 10³

I₂ = 10³ I₁

having the relationship between the intensities, we can use the definition of intensity which is the power per unit area

I = P / A

P = I A

the area is of a sphere

A = 4π r²

the power of the sound does not change, so we can write it for the two points

P = I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

I₁ r₁² = I₂ r₂²

we substitute the ratio of intensities

I₁ r₁² = (10³ I₁ ) r₂²

r₁² = 10³ r₂²

r₂ = r₁ / √10³

we calculate

r₂ = $\frac{10.0}{\sqrt{10^3} }$

r₂ = 0.316 m

The closer you are to the ground the more accurate you'll be. That's why most snipers are in the "prone" position.

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line

aniked [119]

Complete Question:

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Which list represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon?

Group of answer choices.

A. Earth, sun, moon

B. sun, moon, Earth

C. moon, sun, Earth

D. sun, Earth, moon

Answer:

D. sun, Earth, moon

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth comes between the Moon and the Sun thereby causing it to cover the Moon with its shadow.

Simply stated, lunar eclipse takes place when the Moon passes or moves through the Earth's shadow thereby blocking any ray of sunlight from reaching the Moon. Thus, the full moon appears deep red (blood moon).

Also, a lunar eclipse would occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are closely aligned to form a straight line known as the syzygy.

There are three (3) types of lunar eclipse and these are;

1. Total lunar eclipse.

2. Partial lunar eclipse.

3. Penumbra lunar eclipse.

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Thus, the list which represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon is sun, Earth, and moon

The following equation is an example of decay? 232/90 TH---4/2 HE +228/88 RA?

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Alpha decay

Explanation:

Alpha decay is one of the three major types of decays, others being, beta decay and gamma decay.
When a radioactive isotope undergoes alpha decay it emits alpha particles. An alpha particle is equivalent to the nucleus of Helium atom.
Therefore, an atom undergoing decay, its atomic mass is decreased by 4 and its atomic number is decreased by 2.
Thus, since 232/90 Th, has undergone alpha decay its mass number is reduced by 4 to 228 and its atomic number by 2 to 88, and becomes 228/88 Ra.
