In order to get the bike to move and stay moving, what friction must be overcome

1 answer:

4 0

Friction is the resistance offered against the motion of one surface over the other. This is because, at the microscopic level, each surface has hills and valleys i.e. the surfaces are not completely smooth and hence the roughness of one surface locks over the other and restricts its motion. There are two kinds of friction: static friction and kinetic friction. When the object is at rest, static friction acts. While the object is in motion, kinetic friction acts. Static friction is greater than the kinetic friction because a larger force is required to change the state of rest to motion. You must have experienced that if you do not accelerate the bike while its in motion, it would slow down and eventually stop. In order to get the bike moving, initially static friction must be overcome and thereafter, kinetic friction to make it stay in motion.

Can someone make an introduction about the "flu shot " and the pro and cons of flu shots.The question is "the benefits outweigh

steposvetlana [31]

Someone can make an introduction about getting a flu shot because, mostly everyone in the world have gotten or just got a flu shot. One example of a pro is that, a flu shot can prevent the flu, and other deadly sicknesses. On example of a con is that, some flu shots can carry side effects which is something that should be tested before given to adults and especially kids!!! Hope this helps!!! Good luck

On a balanced seesaw, a boy three times as heavy as his partner sits

slega [8]

Answer:

1/3 the distance from the fulcrum

Explanation:

On a balanced seesaw, the torques around the fulcrum calculated on one side and on another side must be equal. This means that:

$W_1 d_1 = W_2 d_2$

where

W1 is the weight of the boy

d1 is its distance from the fulcrum

W2 is the weight of his partner

d2 is the distance of the partner from the fulcrum

In this problem, we know that the boy is three times as heavy as his partner, so

$W_1 = 3 W_2$

If we substitute this into the equation, we find:

$(3 W_2) d_1 = W_2 d_2$

and by simplifying:

$3 d_1 = d_2\\d_1 = \frac{1}{3}d_2$

which means that the boy sits at 1/3 the distance from the fulcrum.

A ray is incident on a film of thickness t and the index of refraction n=1.6 at an angle θ = 35 degrees. Find the angle of refra

lidiya [134]

Answer

Given,

refractive index of film, n = 1.6

refractive index of air, n' = 1

angle of incidence, i = 35°

angle of refraction, r = ?

Using Snell's law

n' sin i = n sin r

1 x sin 35° = 1.6 x sin r

r = 21°

Angle of refraction is equal to 21°.

Now,

distance at which refractive angle comes out

d = 2.5 mm

α be the angle with horizontal surface and incident ray.

α = 90°-21° = 69°

t be the thickness of the film.

So,

$tan \alpha = \dfrac{t}{d/2}$

$tan 61^0 = \dfrac{t}{2.5/2}$

t = 2.26 mm

Hence, the thickness of the film is equal to 2.26 mm.

The minimum frequency of light needed to eject electrons from a metal is called the threshold frequency, ???? 0 ν0 . Find the mi

Allisa [31]

Answer:

<h2>E = 2.8028*10⁻¹⁹ Joules</h2>

Explanation:

The minimum energy needed to eject electrons from a metal with a threshold frequency fo is expressed as E = hfo

h = planck's constant

fo = threshold frequency

Given the threshold frequency fo = 4.23×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

h = 6.626× 10⁻³⁴ m² kg / s

Substituting this value into the formula to get the energy E

E = 4.23×10¹⁴ * 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴

E = 28.028*10¹⁴⁻³⁴

E = 28.028*10⁻²⁰

E = 2.8028*10⁻¹⁹ Joules
