Why do you need friction to walk?

Physics

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.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

the observed frequency will reduce but the wavelength will increase

Explanation:

As we know

fo = fs (v/(v-vs))

fo = observed frequency

vs = velocity of source

As per this equation,  

When an observer moves away from the stationary source, the observed frequency reduces. Since the observer in the balloon is moving away from the source which itself is moving in opposite direction, the observed frequency will reduce.  

Since wavelength = V/fs . The source frequency is unchanged but the velocity is increasing as it is moving in downward direction. Hence, the wavelength will increase

When an atom that has no charge looses two electrons it becomes a
alex41 [277]

Answer: it becomes a positive ion

Explanation:

So, when an atom loses 2 electrons there will be no change in the number of neutrons. Therefore, an isotope will not form. Thus, it is concluded that when an atom with no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion.

Argue as to why drivint on icy or snowy roads can be dangerous
Vika [28.1K]
Icy/Snowy roads have less friction than normal roads. This means that the wheels are less likely to stay positioned because of traction, and you will spin out of control

It is your parent's 25th Wedding Anniversary and you thought it would be special to throw them a surprise party. Your entire fam
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

120 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.

So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.

Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.

So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.

The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus,  speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.

So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.
