Which surface produces the least friction when someone walks on it

Physics
1 answer:
Alika [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: B Ice

The friction depends on the texture of the surface. A rough surface has more friction. The carpet or wooden surface that we usually walk on have fairly enough friction. We don't slip on sand also much but to walk on ice it requires spokes as you also see while doing ice skating it is very difficult to stand on ice. This is because of low friction on ice floor.

A woman pushes an oak chest across an oak floor at a constant speed of 0.450 m/s. The chest has a mass of 40.0 kg, and the coeff
natima [27]

Answer:

A. 243 N

Explanation:

Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion between systems that are in contact.

This friction force that opposes the motion of the oak chest across the oak surface will be equal and opposite to that exerted by the woman.

First find the normal force which is the force that would point directly upwards to support weight of the block.

Normal force, N= mg where m is the mass of the chest and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given m=40 kg and g=9.80 m/s²

N force=40×9.80 =392N

Then find the force of friction which is given by the formula;

<em>F=μN where μ is friction coefficient for the  oak chest  and N is the normal force on the chest</em>

Given <em>μ</em>=0.620  and N force = 392 N then it will be;

F=0.620× 392 =243.04 N

Answer : 243 N

A wave will "break" because ________. a wave will "break" because ________. the sediment load of water is greater near the shore
vodka [1.7K]
A wave will "break" because the bottom interferes with its oscillatory motion. Breaking of waves may occur anywhere that the amplitude is sufficient, including in mid-ocean. When waves enter shallow water they break because the motion of water in lower part of the wave nearest the bottom is slowed by friction so that their oscillation is faster than its supporting portion at the bottom. Thus, the wave collapses forward and breaks.

What is the net force for this? (please don't forget it's direction and magnitude)​
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the sum of the two right directed forces match exactly the left directed force, the only unbalanced force, and thus the net force, is the upward 25 N force.

The force of Earth's gravity pulls down on a stone after someone tosses it off a cliff. What is the "equal and opposite force" d
Lapatulllka [165]

The equal and opposite force is the force of the stone's gravity pulling up on thy Earth.

<u>Explanation</u>:

                                      F_{AB} = - F_{BA}

  • When someone tosses a stone off a cliff, the force of gravity of Earth pulls down and the force of the stone's gravity pulls up on the Earth due to the equal and opposite reaction exerted between the Earth and the stone.
  • In Newton's third law, two important features are present. One is the force exerted on two bodies will have the same magnitude but opposite direction. The other feature is force is acting on two different objects.
  • This exerted force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction whereas the gravity exerts a downward force on a stone and upward force on an Earth which is opposite in direction.
