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.

How are climate and weather related?

iris [78.8K]

Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time.

For a satellite of mass mS in a circular orbit of radius rS around the Earth, determine its kinetic energy, K . Express your ans

agasfer [191]

Since it is asking you to find the kinetic energy in relation to the mass, radius, mechanical energy (total energy), and constants, you will need to setup an equation first to "find" the Mechanical Energy, so that we can then solve for the kinetic energy, as from my experience with high school physics, there is only the graviational potential energy equation and force in relation to celestial bodies.

Knowing the ME is the total energy, we add up the energies of the system. Since it is being influenced by the Earth, as per the problem stating the satellite has circular orbit around the Earth, we know there is gravitational potential. Since it is orbiting, we can assume some type of velocity. Nothing else that we need to worry about should be occuring at this level of physics, leaving you with

ME= Ug+K

from here we solve for K, as plugging in could get confusing and messy at the moment.

ME-Ug=K

now using the equations presumably given in class, if not then using this equation, we can find the Ug

Ug=(-(Gm*M)/r) note that M is the mass of the Earth and m is the satellite

this should give us

ME-(-(GmM)/r)=K

since there is a negative being subracted, we can change that to

ME+(GmM)/r=K

I believe this should be fine, as the Earth's mass is constant, but if not, then all you need to figure left is how to get rid of the M in the equation, as the rest of the terms and constants are for sure within the requirements.

86 Km/h convertir a (m/min)

gogolik [260]

Answer: 1433.3 m/min

Explanation:

For 86 Km/h converted to a (m/min), convert kilometers to meters, and hour to minutes

So, 86 Km/h means 86 kilometers per 1 hour

- If 1 kilometer = 1000 metres

86 kilometers = 86 x 1000 = 86,000m

- If 1 hour = 60 minute

1 hour = 60 minutes

In m/min: (86,000m / 60 minute)

= 1433.3 m/min

Thus, 86 Km/h convert to 1433.3 m/min

A large airplane typically has three sets of wheels: one at the front and two farther back, one on each side under the wings. Co

Tems11 [23]

(a) The force the ground exerts on each set of rear wheels when the plane is at rest on the runway is 0.743 MN.

(b) The force the ground exerts on the front set of wheels is 0.239 MN.

<h3>Center mass of the airplane</h3>

The concept of center mass of an object can be used to dtermine the mass distribution of the airplane along the line through the center.

<h3>Some assumptions</h3>

The wheels under the wind do not pass through the center line.
The position of the front wheel is constant and it is zero mark (origin).
The rear wheels are at 21.7 m mark

Position of the center mass of the plane is calculated as follows;

Let the position of the center mass, Xcm = y

the center mass is 3 m in front of rear wheels, that is

21.7 - y = 3

y = 21.7 - 3

y = 18.7 m

Xcm = 18.7 m

<h3>Mass of the plane at the position of the rear wheels</h3>

Let the mass of the plane at front wheels = M1

Let the mass of the plane at rear wheels = M2

$X_{cm} = \frac{M_1x_1 + M_2x_2}{M_1 + M_2}$

$18.7 = \frac{M_1(0) + M_2(21.7)}{177000} \\\\3,309,900 = 21.7M_2\\\\M_2 = \frac{3,309,900}{21.7} \\\\M_2 = 152,529.95 \ kg$

<h3>Force exerted by the ground on each rear wheel</h3>

There are two rear wheels, and the force exerted on each wheel due to mass of the airplane at this position is calculated as follows;

$W = mg\\\\W_1 = W_2 = \frac{1}{2} (mg) = \frac{1}{2} (152,529.95 \times 9.8) = 743,396.76 \ N= 0.743 \ MN$

<h3>Mass of the plane at the position of the front wheel</h3>

M1 + M2 = 177,000

M1 = 177,000 - M2

M1 = 177,000 - 152,529.95

M1 = 24,470.05 kg

<h3>Force exerted by the ground on the front wheel</h3>

W = mg

W = 24,470.05 x 9.8

W = 239,806.5 N = 0.239 MN
