In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:
-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide. The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.
-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.
-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.
-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes. Make the slide like an air hockey table.
-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water. The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.
-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide. If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.
-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide. Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through. They can travel through empty space or matter.
Answer:
2.4 m
Explanation:
Consider the motion along the vertical direction
= initial position of ball above the ground = 4.5 m
= time taken by the ball to hit the smokestack = 0.65 s
= initial velocity of the ball along vertical direction
= acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²
= position of ball at the time of hitting the smokestack
Using the kinematics equation
inserting the above values
Compressions are the areas of high pressure while rarefractions are low pressure area
Answer:
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
where
F is the net force on the object
m is its mass
a is its acceleration
In this problem:
F = 40 N is the force on the object
m = 2 kg is its mass
Therefore, the acceleration of the object is
