Which surface produces the least friction when someone walks on it

Physics

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.

9. Calculate the distance (in km) that Charlie runs if he maintains the average

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Correct Question:

Calculate the distance (in km) charlie runs if he maintains an average speed of 8 km/hr for 1 hour

Answer:

The total distance covered by Charlie is 8 km in 1 hour.

Explanation:

The average velocity as given in the question is,

v = 8 km/hr

Total time taken,

$$t=1 hour$

As we know the formula to evaluate the total distance d when the average velocity and time is given;

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

$d=v \times t$

$d=8 \times 1$

$d=8 k m$

Hence, the total distance covered by Charlie in 1 hour will be 8 km.

Unpolarized light with intensity I0I0I_0 is incident on an ideal polarizing filter. The emerging light strikes a second ideal po

zvonat [6]

Answer:

$0.293I_0$

Explanation:

When the unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, only the component of the light parallel to the axis of the polarizer passes through.

Therefore, after the first polarizer, the intensity of light passing through it is halved, so the intensity after the first polarizer is:

$I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}$

Then, the light passes through the second polarizer. In this case, the intensity of the light passing through the 2nd polarizer is given by Malus' law:

$I_2=I_1 cos^2 \theta$

where

$\theta$ is the angle between the axes of the two polarizer

Here we have

$\theta=40^{\circ}$

So the intensity after the 2nd polarizer is

$I_2=I_1 (cos 40^{\circ})^2=0.587I_1$

And substituting the expression for I1, we find:

$I_2=0.587 (\frac{I_0}{2})=0.293I_0$

Why does the sky change colors at sunset?

KiRa [710]

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... Refraction not only affects visible light rays, but all electromagnetic radiation, although in varying degrees.

So in short, the answer is D.
