Now explore friction force. Set the piece of plastic or wood on the table and push it steadily across the tabletop using your fi

ngertip. Note how much opposition to your push you feel. Repeat the steps, but this time push the piece of plastic or wood across a rug, carpet, or piece of fabric. If you’re using fabric, be sure to secure the fabric so it doesn’t move. How does the opposition to motion on the tabletop compare with that of the rug, carpet, or fabric?

Answer: Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. There are several types of friction: Dry friction is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact

A slab of glass 8.0 cm thick is placed upon a printed page. If the refractive index of the glass is 1.5, how far from the surfac
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

5.3 cm

Explanation:

This question is an illustration of real and apparent distance.

From the question, we have the following given parameters

Real Distance, R = 8.0cm

Refractive Index, μ = 1.5

Required

Determine the apparent distance (A)

The relationship between R, A and μ is:

μ = R/A

i.e.

Refractive Index = Real Distance ÷ Apparent Distance

Substitute values in the above formula

1.5 = 8/A

Multiply both sides by A

1.5 * A = A * 8/A

1.5A = 8

Divide both side by 1.5

1.5A/1.5 = 8/1.5

A = 8/1.5

A = 5.3cm

Hence, the letters would appear at a distance of 5.3cm

Consider a car travelling at 60 km/hr. If the radius of a tire is 25 cm, calculate the angular speed of a point on the outer edg
vlabodo [156]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given in the kinematic equations of movement description.

From the perspective of angular movement, we find the relationship with the tangential movement of velocity through

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

Where,

\omega =Angular velocity

v = Lineal Velocity

R = Radius

At the same time we know that the acceleration is given as the change of speed in a fraction of the time, that is

\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}

Where

\alpha =Angular acceleration

\omega = Angular velocity

t = Time

Our values are

v = 60\frac{km}{h} (\frac{1h}{3600s})(\frac{1000m}{1km})

v = 16.67m/s

r = 0.25m

t=6s

Replacing at the previous equation we have that the angular velocity is

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

\omega = \frac{ 16.67}{0.25}

\omega = 66.67rad/s

Therefore the angular speed of a point on the outer edge of the tires is 66.67rad/s

At the same time the angular acceleration would be

\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}

\alpha = \frac{66.67}{6}

\alpha = 11.11rad/s^2

Therefore the angular acceleration of a point on the outer edge of the tires is 11.11rad/s^2

Kathy 82 kg performer standing on a diving board at the carnival dive straight down into a small pool of water. Just before stri
mixas84 [53]

Solution :

Given weight of Kathy = 82 kg

Her speed before striking the water, $V_o $ = 5.50 m/s

Her speed after entering the water, $V_f$= 1.1 m/s

Time = 1.65 s

Using equation of impulse,

$dP = F \times  dT$

Here, F =  the force ,

       dT =  time interval over which the force is applied for

            = 1.65 s

       dP  = change in momentum

dP = m x dV

    $= m \times [V_f - V_o] $

    = 82 x (1.1 - 5.5)

    = -360 kg

∴ the net force acting will be

$F=\frac{dP}{dT}$

$F=\frac{-360}{1.65}$

  = 218 N

Why are there zero hours of daylight at the north pole and south pole in the winter
raketka [301]

Answer:

The seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis in relation to the sun. ... During summer, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted toward the sun and is in constant sunlight. In the winter, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted away from the sun, causing the continent to be dark.
