Why do you need friction to walk?

Physics

Goshia [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The force of friction is a necessary force which helps us to walk on ground. The friction is generated between the shoes and the road. We press the ground and as a reaction the ground pushes us forward. The force of friction between sole and ground provides the necessary grip which pushes us forward

Friction can be a useful force because it prevents our shoes slipping on the pavement when we walk and stops car tyres skidding on the road. When you walk, friction is caused between the tread on shoes and the ground. This friction acts to grip the ground and prevent sliding. Sometimes we want to reduce friction.

How can a gas become a good conductor? Simpler answers would be helpful.
Alex_Xolod [135]
A gas has to become ionisied in order to become a conductor. It must have a chain reaction in which atoms in it became unstable, in which they loose stabile electronic configuration. In order for a gas to become a conductor, it must have free particles, and it can happen only in ionisied gas.

Which of Newton's laws explains why satellites need very little fuel to stay in oribit?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Sattelites don't need any fuel to stay in orbit. The applicable law is...."objects in motion tend to stay in motion". Having reached orbital velocity, any such object is essentially "falling" around the earth. Since there is no (or at least very little) friction in the vacuum of space, the object does not slow.... It simply continues.


Sattelites in "low" earth orbit do encounter some friction from the very thin upper atmosphere, and they will eventually "decay".

A carmaker has designed a car that can reach a maximum acceleration of 12 meters/second2. The car’s mass is 1,515 kilograms. Ass
Vlada [557]
1) 15 / 12 = 1.25 ratio
2) to increase acceleration  1.25 times (with same F, or same engine) you have to lower mass 1.25 times
3) 1515/1.25 = 1212 kg

choose A

How are energy and mass connected during the formation of an atom? Energy is absorbed, so the mass is increased. Energy is relea
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced.

Explanation:

The relationship between the mass and the energy is given by Einstein formula as :

E=mc^2

m is the mass of an atom

c is the speed of light

When an atom is formed, the energy gets absorbed. As a result mass will decrease as per Einstein's equation. So, the correct option is (c) "Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced".
