Why is friction useful between your feet and the groud?

Friction is useful between your feet and the ground because friction is the same force that allows you to accelerate forward when you run.

Friction refers to the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. Friction is the rubbing of one body against another the friction of sandpaper on wood.

Answer:

It allows you to walk faster.

Explanation:

It is the same force that allows you to accelerate forward when you run. Your planted foot can grip the ground and push backward, which causes the ground to push forward on your foot. We call this grip type of friction, where the surfaces are prevented from slipping across each other, a static frictional force.

An engine absorbs 1.69 kJ from a hot reservoir at 277°C and expels 1.25 kJ to a cold reservoir at 27°C in each cycle.

Anna35 [415]

Answer

Given,

Energy absorbed, $Q_H = 1.69\ kJ$

Energy expels, $Q_C = 1.25\ kJ$

Temperature of cold reservoir, T = 27°C

a) Efficiency of engine

$\eta = \dfrac{Q_H - Q_C}{Q_H}\times 100$

$\eta = \dfrac{1.69 - 1.25}{1.69}\times 100$

$\eta =26.03 %$

b) Work done by the engine

$W = Q_H- Q_C$

$W =1.69 - 1.25$

$W = 0.44\ kJ$

c) Power output

t = 0.296 s

$P = \dfrac{W}{t}$

$P = \dfrac{0.44}{0.296}$

$P = 1.486\ kW$

Parallel to the handle, what is the force of friction acting on the suitcase?

mrs_skeptik [129]

<span>Lets call F the friction force which will act horizontally backwards.

As you are travelling at a constant velosity horizontally there is no overall resultant force in this direction.

ie. the force you pull with will be equal to the friction force resisting you. (you will initially have to have pulled with a greater force than the friction to get the suitcase moving)

the value of your force pulling is 60 cos26.9 (horizontally) - you should have learnt about resolving forces.

this must be equal to F

so

F=60cos26.9
F=53.5N

A frog is at the bottom of a 17-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of

docker41 [41]

Answer:

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Explanation:

Given data

Frog at bottom=17 foot

Each time frog leaps 3 feet

Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot

To Find

Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well

Solution

in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)

=2 feet

=2×1 feet

The "-1" is because the frog goes back

Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:

Distance Jumped=2+2

Distance Jumped=2*2

=4 feet

Similarly after 7 jumps

Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2

Distance Jumped=2*7

=14 feet

Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.

Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3

=14+3

=17 feet

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Two lightbulbs both operate on 120V . One has a power of 25W and the other 100W. (ii) Which lightbulb carries more current? Choo

Vikki [24]

The lightbulb that carries more current will be the 25W bulb.

<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>

It should be noted that an electric current simply means the stream of charged particles that move through an electrical conductor or space.

In this case, it should be noted that the power is the same for both bulbs. Therefore, the 25W bulb will have the higher resistance so that it will have lower power.

Therefore, the lightbulb that carries more current will be the 25W bulb.
