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) Millions of years of rain and wind
barxatty [35]

Answer:

B. Millions of years of high pressure and temperature.

  • Millions of years of high pressure and temperature the ancient forests turn into fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels were formed from the dead remains of living organisms millions of years ago. They were formed under high pressure and high temperature.

  • Coal : about 300 million years ago the earth had this forest in low lying wetland areas. Due to natural processes like flooding, these forest god buried under the soil. As more soil deposited over them, they were compressed. Under high pressure and high temperature, dead plants got slowly converted into coal.
  • Petroleum : Petroleum was formed from organisms living in the sea. As these organisms died, their bodies settled at the bottom of the sea and got covered with layers of soil and clay. Over millions of years, absence of air, high pressure and high temperature transformed the dead organisms into Petroleum.

Coal, Petroleum and natural gas are fossil fuels.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

4.3 N/m

Explanation:

m = 230 g = 0.230 kg, x = 8.2 cm

in 13 oscillations, time taken = 19 s

In 1 oscillation, time taken = 19 / 13 = 1.46 s

By the use of formula of time period , Let k be the spring constant.

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

1.46 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.230}{k}}

0.054 = 0.230 / k

k = 4.26 N/m

k = 4.3 N/m
