Answer:

For example, when a person walk

Explanation:

The  force of friction is a resistive force that opposes the motion of objects. It is produced by the contact between two surfaces: since the surfaces are not perfectly smooth, there are "microbumps" that cause a resistive force in the relative motion of the two surface.

This force is evident, for example, when we try to push a crate along the floor: as we push forward, there is a resistive force acting in the opposite direction, and this force is the force of friction.

The force of friction is in the direction opposite to the motion of the object, so in general it tends to slow down the motion of the object over the surface.

However, there is a particular case in which instead friction helps in accelerating the object.

This scenario is when a person walks: in fact, the foot of the person pushes against the floor (backward), and as a result, the floor "pushes" forward with the force of friction, which helps therefore the person to move forward. In fact, the force of friction is the force that allows us to walk forward: without the force of friction, we could not walk (think about how difficult it is to walk over an icy surface: this is because the force of friction on an icy surface is almost zero!)

A 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a 5.36 m high cliff at 4.84 m/s. what is its potential energy (PE) when it is 2.00 m above the grou
Colt1911 [192]

The potential energy of the lemming is 1.53 J

Explanation:

The potential energy (PE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field, and it is given by:

PE=mgh

where:

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

In this problem:

m = 0.0780 kg is the mass of the lemming

We want to find the potential energy when the height is

h = 2.00 m

Therefore, we find:

PE=(0.0780)(9.8)(2.00)=1.53 J

What is the objective lens?
Monica [59]

Answer:

The objective lens is an optical tool used to focus an image.

Explanation:

The objective lens is an optical tool that collects light emitted by an object under observation and focuses the  rays of light in order to form a real and magnified image  They are used in optical instruments like microscopes, cameras, telescopes, etc. and are also referred as objective or object glasses.

A car is being driven at a rate of 60 ft/sec when the brakes are applied. The car decelerates at a constant rate of 19
Hunter-Best [27]

The car will take 300 m before it stops due to applying break.

<h3>What's the relation between initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and distance?</h3>
  • As per Newton's equation of motion, V² - U² = 2aS
  • V= final velocity velocity of the object, U = initial velocity velocity of the object, a= acceleration, S = distance covered by the object
  • Here, U = 60 ft/sec, V = 0 m/s, a= -6 ft/sec²
  • So, 0² - 60² = 2×6× S

=> -3600 = -12S

=> S = 3600/12 = 300 m

Thus, we can conclude that the distance covered by the car is 300 m before it stopped.
