Answer:

Static friction

Explanation:

When there is contact between two surfaces and there is no movement, there is static friction. So, if we have a book that rests on a wooden table, we have an example of Static friction, where this force avoids the movement of the book.

If you can simply pour sand into a cup then why is it not a liquid?

sleet_krkn [62]

If you, for example, poured it onto a wide cup with a volume equal to the total volume of the sand particles, the sand would not spread out to fill the container but would bunch up together in the middle.

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea

Savatey [412]

Answer:

$41.81^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector $\overrightarrow{OA}$ is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, $\vec {R}$ must be in the north direction.

Let $\overrightarrow{AB}$ is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector $\overrightarrow {OA}$ and head of the vector $\overrightarrow{AB}$ must lie on the north-south line.

Now, for this condition, from the triangle OAB

$|\overrightarrow{AB}|\sin \theta=|\overrightarrow{OA}|$

$\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\frac{|\overrightarrow{OA}|}{|\overrightarrow{AB}|}=\frac 2 3$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\frac23$

$\Rightarrow \theta=41.81^{\circ}$

Hence, the kayaker must paddle in the direction of $41.81^{\circ}$ in the north of east direction.

a bicycle travels at a velocity of -2.33 m/s and has a displacement of -58.3 m. how much time did it take?

Alexandra [31]

We know that velocity is equal to the total displacement of an object over time.
$velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}$
Deriving from that equation, we can say that:
$t = \frac{d}{v}$
Okay, so here it goes:
$t = \frac{58.3m}{2.33 \frac{m}{s} } \\ t = 25.02s$
The bicycle took 25.02 seconds to displace at 58.3 meters.
