How does friction make it possible for you to walk across the floor?

Tema [17]3 years ago

if we are walking on a perfectly smooth ground which has no friction our force would simply cancel out the force reverted by the ground and we would fall.

We need it to help push out feet off the ground

Hope those helps :)

You could use an elevator or the stairs to lift a box to tenth floor.which has greater power?
erastova [34]

Stairs don't have any power at all.  All the energy used to climb them
has to come from your muscles.

An elevator gets its power from the electric motors that lift it.  All YOU
have to do is stand there and look around.

All of this is a big part of the reason why elevators have become so
popular, and why no buildings with more than a few floors were built
before elevators were invented.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

h = height of the hotel room from the ground floor = 237.4m

Explanation:

Change in Potential Energy of tourist = ΔPE = PE2 – PE1 = mgh

PE1 is the potential energy of tourist at the ground floor

PE1 is the potential energy of tourist at the top (hotel room)

Given

PE1 = − 2.01 × 10⁵ J

PE2 = 0J

PE2 – PE1 = mgh

0 – (− 2.01 × 10⁵ J) = mgh

2.01 × 10⁵ J = 86.4×9.8×h

h = 2.01 × 10⁵/(86.4×9.8) = 237.4m

A 4.9-MeV (kinetic energy) proton enters a 0.28-T field, in a plane perpendicular to the field. Part APart complete What is the
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

r=1.14m

Explanation:

\theta is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field. So, the magnetic force on the proton is:

F_m=qvBsen\theta\\F_m=qvBsen(90^\circ)\\F_m=qvB

A charged particle describes a semicircle in a uniform magnetic field. Therefore, applying Newton's second law to uniform circular motion:

F_m=F_c\\qvB=F_c(1)

F_c is the centripetal force and is defined as:

F_c=m\frac{v^2}{r}

Here v is the proton's speed and r is the radius of the circular motion. Replacing this in (1) and solving for r:

qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\r=\frac{mv^2}{qvB}\\r=\frac{mv}{qB}

Recall that 1 J is equal to 6.242*10^{12}MeV, so:

4.9MeV*\frac{1J}{6.242*10^{12}MeV}=7.85*10^{-13}J

We can calculate v from the kinetic energy of the proton:

K=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(7.85*10^{-13}J)}{1.67*10^{-27}kg}}\\v=3.06*10^{7}\frac{m}{s}

Finally, we calculate the radius of the proton path:

r=\frac{mv}{qB}\\r=\frac{1.67*10^{-27}kg(3.06*10^{7}\frac{m}{s})}{1.6*10^{-19}C(0.28T)}\\r=1.14m

Why does atmospheric pressure decrease with altitude.
ella [17]

Answer:

<em>Earth's gravity pulls air as close to the surface as possible. ... As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what meteorologists and mountaineers mean by "thin air." Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.</em>
