Sample Response: Friction allows people and objects to move. It provides traction for an object to start moving or change direction. It can also give people a better grip on objects. Finally, friction keeps objects in place when they are set down.

-Friction makes movement possible.

-Friction provides traction

-Friction makes it easier to hold on to objects

-Friction keeps objects in place.

Without friction, we would not be able to stop walking since we would just keep slipping like on ice.

Without friction, objects would just slip and fall with a simple blow of air

And finally without friction we wouldn't be able to use machinery like cars and etc since they would just fly off

Russell bradley carried 207 kg of bricks 3.65 m up a ladder. If the amount of work required to perform that task is used to comp
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done in carrying bricks

mgh

= 207 x 9.8 x 3.65

-= 7404.4 J

Work done in compressing gas

PΔV

Pressure x change in volume

1.8 x 10⁶ ΔV = 7404.4

ΔV  = 7404.4  / 1.8 x 10⁶m³

= 4113.33 x 10⁻⁶ m³

= 4113.33 cc

A large spool in an electrician's workshop has 65 m of insulation-coated wire coiled around it. When the electrician connects a
Art [367]

Answer:

40.34\ \text{m}

Explanation:

L_1 = Length of wire = 65 m

I_1 = Initial current = 1.8 A

I_2 = Final current = 2.9 A

We know

R\propto \dfrac{1}{I}

and

R\propto L

\dfrac{V}{I}\propto L\\\Rightarrow L\propto \dfrac{1}{I}

so

\dfrac{L_2}{L_1}=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}L_1\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{1.8}{2.9}\times 65\\\Rightarrow L_2=40.34\ \text{m}

The length of the wire remaining on the spool is 40.34\ \text{m}.

3. Learn: Energy is transferred along food chains, however, the amount of available energy decreases from one
Zolol [24]

''Energy is destroyed because animals are higher levels do not need as much energy'' is not the valid reason.

<h3>What is respiration?</h3>

Respiration is the cellular process of releasing energy from food. Some of the energy released is used to produce ATP. 90 percent of energy is lost as heat energy whereas 10 percent energy is transferred to other trophic levels.

So we can conclude that ''Energy is destroyed because animals are higher levels do not need as much energy'' is not the valid reason.

A shell is fired with a horizontal velocity in the positive x direction from the top of an 80 m high cliff. The shell strikes th
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

V = 331.59m/s

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the time taken for the shell fire to hit the ground using the equation of motion.

S = ut + 1/2at²

Given height of the cliff S = 80m

initial velocity u = 0m/s²

a = g = 9.81m/s²

Substitute

80 = 0+1/2(9.81)t²

80 = 4.905t²

t² = 80/4.905

t² = 16.31

t = √16.31

t = 4.04s

Next is to get the vertical velocity

Vy = u + gt

Vy = 0+(9.81)(4.04)

Vy = 39.6324

Also calculate the horizontal velocity

Vx = 1330/4.04

Vx = 329.21m/s

Find the magnitude of the velocity to calculate speed of the shell as it hits the ground.

V² = Vx²+Vy²

V² = 329.21²+39.63²

V² = 329.21²+39.63²

V² = 108,379.2241+1,570.5369

V² = 109,949.761

V = √ 109,949.761

V = 331.59m/s

Hence the speed of the shell as it hits the ground is 331.59m/s

When scientists state that energy transformation are inefficient, do they mean energy is destroyed? Explain why.
TiliK225 [7]

no. energy is not created or destroyed, just transformed.

a hot light source is less efficient than a cold one ... heat is not light ...
