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.

What effect does Earth’s spherical shape have on the amount of sunlight that reaches the equator?

vaieri [72.5K]

Explanation:

The earth is spherical. So it's middle part is bulgjng outside. So more sunlight will be incident on the latitude near the equator. This will heat the air and it will rise up. This will cause high pressure difference and polar disturbances.

I hope this satisfies you. I hope u will follow me and make this the brainliest answer.

You run a race with your friend. At first you each have the same kinetic energy, but then you find that she is beating you. When

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

52.49 Kg

Explanation:

Let m1 and v1 denote your mass and velocity respectively

Let m2 and v2 denote your friends mass and velocity respectively

Kinetic energy is given by

$KE= 0.5mv^{2}$

Since your kinetic energies are the same hence

$0.5m1(v1)^{2}=0.5m2(v2)^{2}$

$m1(v1)^{2}=m2(v2)^{2}$ and making m2 the subject then

$m2=\frac { m1(v1)^{2}}{(v2)^{2}}$

Since v2 is v1+0.28v1=1.28v1

Substituting m1 for 86 Kg

$m2=\frac { 86 Kg(v1)^{2}}{(1.28v1)^{2}}= 52.49023\approx 52.49 Kg$

How much work is done? A Net Force of 9.0 N acts through a distance of 3.0 m in a time of 3.0 s. The answers are 3.0 J, 9.0 J, 2

Vadim26 [7]

If the force and the motion are along the same direction (like it is here) then work is force*distance. The time doesn't come into play until you want the power used. So here
W=9.0*3.0=27J
