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 :)

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s2. A sling shot fires a rock straight up into the air with a speed of +39.2 m/s. 1. what

Vanyuwa [196]

Given that,

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity, u = 39.2 m/s

Time, t = 2 s

To find,

The final velocity of the shot.

Solution,

Let v is the final velocity of sling shot. Using first equation of motion to find it.

v = u +at

Here, a = -g

v = u-gt

v = (39.2)-(9.8)(2)

v = 19.6 m/s

So, its velocity after 2 seconds is 19.6 m/s.

An object with a mass of 1500kg accelerates 10.0m/s when unknown force is applied to it. What is the amount of force?

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 15000 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 1500 × 10

We have the final answer as

A foam cup with negligible specific heat is used as a calorimeter. If you mix 175 g of water at 20.0°C and 125 g of water at 95.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

T = 51.25°C

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of energy, we get:

where,

m₁ = mass of cold water = 175 g

m₂ = mass of hot water = 125 g

T = Final temperature of the mixture = ?

Therefore,

$(175\ g)(T-20^oC) = (125\ g)(95^oC-T)\\\\T-20^oC = (0.7143)(95^oC-T)\\\\T(1+0.7143) = 20^oC+67.86^oC\\\\T = \frac{87.86^oC}{1.7143}$

Two friends, Al and Jo, have a combined mass of 195 kg. At the ice skating rink, they stand close together on skates, at rest an

ddd [48]

Answer:

Al's mass is 102.92 kg

Explanation:

As there are no external forces in the horizontal direction, the horizontal net force must be zero:

$F_{net} = 0$

As the force is the derivative in time of the momentum, this means that the horizontal momentum is constant:

$F_{net} = \frac{dp_{horizontal}}{dt} = 0$

$p_{horizontal_i }= p_{horizontal_f}$

where the suffix i and f means initial and final respectively.

The initial momentum will be:

$p_{horizontal_}i = m_{Al} \ v_{Al_i} + m_{Jo} \ v_{Jo_i}$

But, as they are at rest, initially

$p_{horizontal_i} = m_{Al} * 0 + m_{Jo} * 0$

$p_{horizontal_i} = 0$

So, this means:

$p_{horizontal_f} = m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} + m_{Jo} \ v_{Jo_f} = 0$

We know that the have an combined mass of 195 kg:

$m_{total} = m_{Al} + m_{Jo} = 195 \ kg$ .

so:

$m_{Jo} = 195 \ kg - m_{Al}$ .

$m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} + (195 \ kg - m_{Al}) \ v_{Jo_f} = 0$

$m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} - m_{Al} \ v_{Jo_f}= - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f}$

$m_{Al} \ (v_{Al_f} - v_{Jo_f})= - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f}$

$m_{Al} = \frac{ - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f} } { v_{Al_f} - v_{Jo_f} }$

$m_{Al} = \frac{195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f} } { v_{Jo_f} - v_{Al_f} }$

Now, we can use the values:

$v_{Al_f}= 10.2 \frac{m}{s}$

$v_{Jo_f}= - 11.4 \frac{m}{s}$

where the minus sign appears as they are moving at opposite directions

$m_{Al} = \frac{195 \ kg ( - 11.4 \frac{m}{s} ) } { (- 11.4 \frac{m}{s}) - 10.2 \frac{m}{s} }$

$m_{Al} = 102.92 \ kg$

and this is the Al's mass.
