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 electric travel blanket uses a car's 12V supply. The current is 3A.

snow_lady [41]

For electrical devices . . .

   Power dissipated = (voltage) x (current) =

   (12 V) x (3.0 A) = 36 watts .

1 watt means 1 joule per second

   (36 joule/sec) x (60 sec/min) x (10 min) = 21,600 joules

an object at rest starts accelerating if it travels 30 meters to end up going 10 m/s what was it’s acceleration

vfiekz [6]

First we have to calculate the time taken to travel the distance 30 m, is

$t = \frac{distance}{velocity} = \frac{30 \ m}{10 \ m/s } = 3 \ s$ .

Now from equation of motion,

$v = u + at$

Given, $v = 10 \ m/s$ .

As object starts from rest, so u = 0.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

$10 \ m/s = 0 + a \times 3 \ s \\\\ a = \frac{10}{3} = 3.33 \ m/s^2$ .

Thus, the acceleration is $3.33 \ m/s^2$

A balloon is filled to a volume of 7.00*10^2 mL at a temperature of 20.0°C. The balloon is then cooled at constant pressure to a

wolverine [178]

The final volume of the gas is 238.9 mL

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Charle's law, which states that for a gas kept at constant pressure, the volume of the gas (V) is proportional to its absolute temperature (T):

$\frac{V}{T}=const.$

Which can be also re-written as

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

where

$V_1, V_2$ are the initial and final volumes of the gas

$T_1, T_2$ are the initial and final temperature of the gas

For the gas in the balloon in this problem, we have:

$V_1 = 7.00\cdot 10^2 mL = 700 mL$ is the initial volume

$T_1=20.0^{\circ}C+273=293 K$ is the initial absolute temperature

$V_2$ is the final volume

$T_2 = 1.00\cdot 10^2 K = 100 K$ is the final temperature

Solving for $V_2$ ,

$V_2 = \frac{V_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(700)(100)}{293}=238.9 mL$

How do you compare the energies of the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?

faltersainse [42]

The different types of radiation in electromagnetic spectrum are compared by the amount of energy found in the photons.

Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio-waves. Infrared photons still have more energy, then comes visible, ultraviolet, x-rays and the most energetic of all, gamma rays.

The energy associated with electromagnetic radiation is proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength. So, electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths have more energy.

On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light. On the other end of the spectrum are gamma rays with wavelengths billions of times smaller than those of visible light.
