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

1 answer:

5 0

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 :)

If a hammer has a resistance arm of 3 inches and the effort arm is 15 inches. What is the mechanical advantage?

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Option D

MA=5

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage is the the ratio of the output force to the input force hence

$MA=\frac {Effort arm length}{Load arm length}$

Substituting 15 inches for the effort arm length and 3 inches for the load arm length then we obtain the mechanical advantage as

$MA=\frac {15}{3}=5$

A grasshopper leaps into the air at a 62° angle above the horizontal, and follows a parabolic arc in free fall after it leaves t

harina [27]

Answer:

d. None of the above.

Explanation:

In a parabolic motion, you have that in the complete trajectory the component velocity is constant and the vertical component changes in time. Then, the total velocity vector is not zero.

In the complete trajectory the gravitational acceleration is always present. Then, the grasshopper's acceleration vector is not zero.

At the top of the arc the grasshopper is not at equilibrium because the gravitational force is constantly acting on the grasshopper.

Then, the correct answer is:

d. None of the above.

A load of 54 N attached to a spring that ishanging vertically stretches the spring 0.15 m.What is the spring constant?Answer in

beks73 [17]

Answer:

300 N/m

Explanation:

given,

Load attached to the spring, W = 54 N

length of stretch of the spring, x = 0.15 m

spring constant= ?

Force applied on the spring is calculated by the equation

F = k x

where k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the spring due to applied load

now,

54 = k × 0.15

$k = \dfrac{54}{0.15}$

$k =300\ N/m$

hence, the spring constant is equal to 300 N/m

A glass of root beer with a scoop of ice cream floating on top and a straw sticking out.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

These forces are all equal and cancel each other out. Gravity pushes downward on the ice cream. This can also be called the weight of the ice cream. Buoyant force pushes the ice cream upward
