Why do trains use steel wheels rather than rubber tires?                                                                 A) Stee

l wheels provide more grip, making it easier to stop a train.
B) Rubber tires don't provide enough friction to allow the train to move.
C) Steel wheels increase friction, thus making it easier to move the load.
D) Steel wheels reduce friction, thus requiring less force to move the load.

D) steel wheels reduce friction, thus requiring less force to move the load.  Friction between rubber and steel would be greater than steel and steel.  Friction creates heat, which represents a loss of energy (which has to come from somewhere else - likely from the kinetic energy of the train)

Answer:

The right approach is Option b (the force..................exert on you).

Explanation:

  • Even before you fall on something like a soft object, users eventually slow to a halt. You are still giving away all the downward momentum, but progressively although with small powers, you are doing so.  
  • Although you can get injured by massive powers, this gradual displacement is a positive thing. And that is why you have a mattress you would like to settle on.  

The other options given are not connected to the situation described. So, the solution here was the right one.

A watt is a measure of power (the rate of energy change) equal to 1 j>s. (a) calculate the number of joules in a kilowatt- ho
GalinKa [24]
Before solving this, you must know the definition of these units of measurement. Watt is a measurement of power which is the amount of energy per unit time in seconds. Energy, on the other hand, is expressed through the SI unit Joules. Thus, power is the amount of energy in Joules per second.

From here, you can use the dimensional analysis technique. Also, you should know that 1 kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts, and 24 hours is equal to 86,400 seconds. Then,

100 = Energy/86,400
Energy = 8,640,000 Joules
