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

5. What is the velocity of a Nolan Catholic football player if he runs 200.0 m in 24.0 s?

Degger [83]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed {\sf{8.33 \: m \:/s \: }}}}}$

Explanation:

Distance travelled = 200 metre

Time taken = 24 second

Velocity = ?

Finding the velocity 

$\boxed{ \sf{velocity = \frac{distance \: travelled \: }{time \: taken}}}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{velocity = \frac{200 \: m}{24 \: s} }}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{velocity = 8.33 \: m/s}}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!

A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours (86,400 s) is called a geosynchronous satellite. If a geosynchronous

Olegator [25]

Answer:

42244138.951 m

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.667 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of orbit from center of earth

M = Mass of Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

m = Mass of Satellite

The satellite revolves around the Earth at a constant speed

Speed = Distance / Time

The distance is the perimeter of the orbit

$v=\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}$

The Centripetal force of the satellite is balanced by the universal gravitational force

$m\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{\left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2}{r}=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2=6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42244138.951\ m$

The radius as measured from the center of the Earth) of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth is 42244138.951 m

Someone help please by providing work and answers please :)

First we gotta use an equation of motion:

$d = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$

Our vertical distance d= 100 m, initial vertical speed u = 0 m/s (because velocity is fully horizontal), and vertical acceleration a = 9.8 m/s2 because of gravity. Let's plug it all in!

$100 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (9.8) {t}^{2}$

Now we just need to solve for t:

${t}^{2} = \frac{2(100)}{9.8} \\ \\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2(100)}{9.8}}$

Hit the calculators, and you'll get 4.5 seconds!

To make sure you understand how to use the equation, suppose that there are 1000 habitable planets in our galaxy, that 1 in 10 h

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Number of habitable planets = 1000

Fraction of planet with life = 1/10

Fraction of planet with life and civilization (before) = 1/4

Fraction of planet with life and civilization (now) =1/5

Therefore multiplying we have:

1000×1/10×1/4×1/5 = 5
