1 answer:

Heat energy caused by friction is usually a waste product that results when energy is destroyed or dissappears.
Friction converts useful kinetic energy into thermal energy or heat. Friction gets a bad rap for turning useful energy into useless energy.

11. (a)What downward force is acting on you when you go down a waterslide? (b)What type of friction is

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

a) "gravitation" is the force causing you to go down a waterslide

b) It is "fluid friction" as a solid object (our body) moves over a fluid (the water)

c) It would become "sliding friction" since two solid surfaces slide over each other

d) fluid friction being the weakest friction, switching to sliding friction means a higher decrease in speed and therefore removing the water from a slide will decrease our speed

Alex is standing still and throws a football with a speed of 10 m/s to his friend, who is also standing still. The two friends a

Phantasy [73]

The question is incomplete. It comes with a set of answer choices.

These are the answer choices:

Alex observes it as 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as less than 10 m/s.

Alex observes it as less than 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as 10 m/s.

Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.

Both Alex and his friend observe it as less than 10 m/s.

Answer: Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.

Justification:

1) The speed is relative to the frame of reference.

2) It is said that the both Alex and his friend are standing still.

3) Then, the speed they both see is the same, 10 m/s, respect the Earth (where they are standing still).

Of course, Alex is watching the ball moving away and his friend is seing it approaching, but it is not relevant for the question, as it deals with the speed which is only about magnitude, not direction.

If the mass of a material is 46 grams and the volume of the material is 14 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?

umka21 [38]

<u>Answer</u>

3.2857 g/cm³

<u>Explanation</u>

Density of a material is the mass of a unit volume of that material. It's SI unit is Kg/m³ but its has other units like g/cm³.

Density = mass/volume

= 46/14

= 3.2857 g/cm³

Does anyone know this?!

Valentin [98]

Answer:

2 is the numerical answer.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information and formula, it is possible for us to remember that equation for the calculation of the average kinetic energy of a gas is:

$KE=\frac{3}{2} \frac{R}{N_A} T$

Whereas R is the universal gas constant, NA the Avogadro's number and T the temperature.

Which means that for the given ratio, we can obtain the value as follows:

$=\frac{\frac{3}{2} \frac{R}{N_A} T_1}{\frac{3}{2} \frac{R}{N_A} T_2} \\\\=\frac{T_1}{T_2} \\\\=\frac{500K}{250K} \\\\=2$

Regards!
