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.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The displacement was 320 meters.

Explanation:

Assuming projectile motion and zero initial speed (i.e., the object was dropped, not thrown down), you can calculate the displacement using the kinematic equation:

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}10\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 8^2 s^2=320 m$

The displacement was 320 meters.

A car on a freeway speeds up to get around another car. The car speeds up from 20 m/s to 35 m/s in 5 seconds.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Initial speed = 20 m/s

Final speed = 35 m/s

Time to speed up = 5 seconds

Explanation:

Directly from the information given:

Initial speed = 20 m/s

Final speed = 35 m/s

Time to speed up = 5 seconds

Using complete sentences and your own words describe some of the ways humans use water.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Humans use water for many different things. We use water to stay hydrated. Our bodies need water to live. Back in the day people used water for transportation and trading. This was a way to become wealthy and exchange goods and ideas from one place to another. We also use water to clean ourselves off. If we don't we can become sick with illnesses that can harm our bodies.

A 0.560 kg snowball is fired from a cliff 14.2 m high with an initial velocity of 13.3 m/s, directed 26.0° above the horizontal.

enot [183]

Answer:

a) v = 21.34 m/s

b) v = 21.34 m/s

c) v = 21.34 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of the snowball, m = 0.560 kg

Height of the cliff, h = 14.2 m

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 13.3 m/s

θ = 26°

The speed of the slow ball as it reaches the ground, v = ?

The initial Kinetic energy of the snow ball, $KE_{0} = 0.5 mu^{2}$

Potential energy of the snow ball at the given height, PE = mgh

Final Kinetic energy of the ball as it reaches the ground, $KE_{f} = 0.5mv^{2}$

a) Using the principle of energy conservation,

$KE_{0} + PE = KE_{f} \\0.5mu^{2} + mgh = 0.5mv^{2}\\v^{2} =2( 0.5u^{2} + gh)\\v^{2} =u^{2} + 2gh\\v = \sqrt{u^{2} + 2gh} \\v = \sqrt{13.3^{2} + 2*9.8*14.2}\\v = 21.34 m/s$

b) The speed remains v = 21.34 m/s since it is not a function of the angle of launch

c)The principle of energy conservation used cancels out the mass of the object, therefore the speed is not dependent on mass

v = 21. 34 m/s
