Discuss how friction is reduced in oce skating

Physics
1 answer:
belka [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

below

Explanation:

Ice melts, meaning it has a watery layer upon its surface. This allows things to be moving like they are on a liquid but it has the solidity of a solid. The thin metal of the ice skates also decrease the surface area meaning it exerts more force but in turn, it allows you to move faster and further reduces friction.

Which property allows objects that do not produce their own light
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Reflection

Explanation:

As light is scattered on items which do not generate  illumination, they reflect it. This is attributed to the fact that light reflects off of themselves. The moon, for example, absorbs sunlight such that it can be seen at night.

What is carried by a wave?
Nata [24]
Waves carry energy from one place to another. Because waves carry energy, some waves are used for communication, eg radio and television waves and mobile telephone signals. ... Some types of waves need to be transmitted through matter, either a solid, liquid or a gas. For example, water waves have to travel in water.

A block of size 20m x 10 mx 5 m exerts a force of 30N. Calculate the
Orlov [11]

Answer:

We know that force applied per unit area is called pressure.

Pressure = Force/ Area

When force is constant than pressure is inversely proportional to area.

1- Calculating the area of three face:

A1 = 20m x 10 m =200 Square meter

A2 = 10 mx 5 m = 50 Square meter

A3 = 20m x 5 m = 100 Square meter

Therefore A1 is maximum and A2 is minimum.

2- Calculate pressure:

P = F/ A1 = 30 / 200 = 0.15 Nm⁻²  ( minimum pressure)

P = F / A2 = 30 / 50 = 0.6 Nm⁻²   ( maximum pressure)

Hence greater the area less will be the pressure and vice versa.

A 65.0 kg ice skater standing on frictionless ice throws a 0.15 kg snowball horizontally at a speed of 32.0 m/s. What is the vel
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

(d) 0.07 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data

Snowball mass m₁=0.15 kg

Ice skater mass m₂=65.0 kg

Snowball velocity v₁=32.0 m/s

To find

Velocity of Skater v₂=?

Solution

From law of conservation of momentum

m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}\\  v_{2}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}}{m_{2}}\\ v_{2}=\frac{(0.15kg)(32.0m/s)}{65.0kg}\\ v_{2}=0.0738m/s\\or\\v_{2}=0.07 m/s

So Option d is correct one

Explain what a concentration gradient is and what it means for a molecule to diffuse down its
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Explanation:

A gradient of concentration is the difference between in concentration of one place / area substance to different area. Having a molecule flow down its concentration gradient means moving the molecules from hypotonic areas to the concentration hypertonic areas

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.
