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.

If two children, with masses of 16 kg and 24 kg , sit in seats opposite one another, what is the moment of inertia about the rot

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one child = 16 kg

Mass of second child = 24 kg

Suppose a playground toy has two seats, each 6.1 kg, attached to very light rods of length r = 1.5 m.

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

$I=I_{1}+I_{2}$

$I=(m+m_{1})\times r^2+(m+m_{2})\times r^2$

m = mass of seat

m₁ =mass of one child

m₂ = mass of second child

r = radius of rod

Put the value into the formula

$I=(16+6.1)\times(1.5)^2+(24+6.1)\times(1.5)^2$

$I=117.45\ kg-m^2$

Hence, The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²

) Music. When a person sings, his or her vocal cords vibrate in a repetitive pattern that has the same frequency as the note tha

vaieri [72.5K]

(a) 0.0021 s, 2926.5 rad/s

The frequency of the B note is

$f= 466 Hz$

The time taken to make one complete cycle is equal to the period of the wave, which is the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{466 Hz}=0.0021 s$

The angular frequency instead is given by

$\omega = 2\pi f$

And substituting

f = 466 Hz

We find

$\omega = 2\pi (466 Hz)=2926.5 rad/s$

(b) 20 Hz, 125.6 rad/s

In this case, the period of the sound wave is

T = 50.0 ms = 0.050 s

So the frequency is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

$f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.050 s}=20 Hz$

While the angular frequency is given by:

$\omega = 2\pi f = 2 \pi (20 Hz)=125.6 rad/s$

(c) $4.30\cdot 10^{14} Hz, 7.48\cdot 1^{14} Hz, 2.33\cdot 10^{-15} s, 1.34\cdot 10^{-15}s$

The minimum angular frequency of the light wave is

$\omega_1 = 2.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s$

so the corresponding frequency is

$f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi}=\frac{2.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s}{2\pi}=4.30\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

and the period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{4.30\cdot 10^{14}Hz}=2.33\cdot 10^{-15}s$

The maximum angular frequency of the light wave is

$\omega_2 = 4.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s$

so the corresponding frequency is

$f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi}=\frac{4.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s}{2\pi}=7.48\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

and the period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{7.48\cdot 10^{14}Hz}=1.34\cdot 10^{-15}s$

(d) $2.0\cdot 10^{-7}s, 3.14\cdot 10^{7} rad/s$

In this case, the frequency is

$f=5.0 MHz = 5.0 \cdot 10^6 Hz$

So the period in this case is

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{5.0\cdot 10^6 Hz}=2.0 \cdot 10^{-7} s$

While the angular frequency is given by

$\omega = 2\pi f=2 \pi (5.0\cdot 10^{6}Hz)=3.14\cdot 10^{7} rad/s$

A spherical conductor is inside a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 1000 N/C to the right. What is the magnitude and di

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1.-E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2.-The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero (conductor proprieties).

3.-The voltmeter read 0V as differential voltage between two points from the conductor

Explanation:

1.The electric field inside the conductor must be zero (conductor proprieties). Then the charges create a electric field equal an opposite to the external electric field. In other words E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2. The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero. As shown in the figure the electric field induced by the charges in the sphere surface cancelled the EXTERN electric field.

3.If the Electric field inside the conductor is zero, that means that the Voltage in the hole conductor is constant (conductor proprieties). In other words the the voltmeter read 0v as differential voltage between two points from the conductor.
