<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>D. a car starting to move after the light changes from red to green</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<u><em>Static friction</em></u> is a type of friction or a force that is experienced by a body or a substance at rest. Therefore, when a force is applied on a body or an object at rest it opposes the static friction.
<em><u>Static friction </u></em>does not have the ability to move an object or induce motion since it is countered by other strong opposite forces. Static friction must be overcome to cause motion of the object.
When a <em><u>body or an object is in motion it experiences kinetic friction</u></em>. Therefore, when a body at rest starts to move then the friction changes to kinetic friction.

Find the distance along an arc on the surface of the earth that subtends a central angle of 1 minutes (1 minute = 1/60 degree).

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

1.152 miles

Explanation:

Given: central angle = 1 minute = $(\frac{1}{60}) ^{o}$

radius of the earth = 3960 miles

The length of an arc = $\frac{\alpha }{360^{o} }$ 2 $\pi$ r

where: $\alpha$ is the central angle, and r is the radius.

Thus,

Distance along the arc = $\frac{\alpha }{360^{o} }$ 2 $\pi$ r

Distance along the arc = $\frac{(\frac{1}{60}) ^{o} }{360^{o} }$ x 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x 3960

= $\frac{(\frac{1}{60}) ^{o} }{360^{o} }$ x 24891.4286

= 1.1524

The required distance along an arc is 1.152 miles.

Determine the frequency of a sound wave if it has a speed of 350 m/s and a wavelength of 3.80 m.

Eva8 [605]

Since we have , v=f×lambda (wavelength). Where v equals 350m/s and wavelength equals 3.80. so it will become f = v/lambda=350/3.80=92.1052Hz

when you inhale (breathe in) your ribs move upwards and outwards and your diaphragm moves down. Explain in terms of pressure and

katrin2010 [14]

As you inhale, your ribs move up and out decreasing the internal pressure and increasing the volume of the lungs forcing air into the lungs from an area of externally high pressure in comparison to the low internal pressure.
