<h2>Answer:</h2>

Friction:

When an object slips on a surface, an opposing force acts between the tangent planes which acts in the opposite direction of motion. This opposing force is called Friction. Or in other words, Friction is the opposing force that opposes the motion between two surfaces.

The main component of friction are:

Normal Reaction (R):

Suppose a block is placed on a table in the above picture, which is in resting state, then two forces are acting on it at that time.

The first is due to its weight mg which is working from its center of gravity towards the vertical bottom.

The second one is superimposed vertically upwards by the table on the block, called the reaction force (P). This force passes through the center of gravity of the block.

Due to P = mg, the box is in equilibrium position on the table.

Coefficient of friction ( μ ):

The ratio of the force of friction and the reaction force is called the coefficient of friction.

Coefficient of friction, µ = force of friction / reaction force

μ = F / R

The coefficient of friction is volume less and dimensionless.

Its value is between 0 to 1.

Advantage and disadvantage from friction force:

The advantage of the force of friction is that due to friction, we can walk on the earth without slipping.
Brakes in all vehicles are due to the force of friction.
We can write on the board only because of the force of friction.
The disadvantage of this force is that due to friction, some parts of energy are lost in the machines and there is wear and tear on the machines.

How to reduce friction:

Using lubricants (oil or grease) in machines.
Friction can be reduced by using ball bearings etc.
Using a soap solution and powder.

For a particular reaction, the change in enthalpy is 51kJmole and the activation energy is 109kJmole. Which of the following cou

Ronch [10]

Answer

given,

change in enthalpy = 51 kJ/mole

change in activation energy = 109 kJ/mole

when a reaction is catalysed change in enthalpy between the product and the reactant does not change it remain constant.

where as activation energy of the product and the reactant decreases.

example:

ΔH = 51 kJ/mole

E_a= 83 kJ/mole

here activation energy decrease whereas change in enthalpy remains same.

A body has masses of 0.013kg and 0.012kg in oil and water respectively, if the relative density of oil is 0.875, calculate the m

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

relative density of the oil, $\gamma _0$ = 0.875

mass of the object in oil, $M_o$ = 0.013 kg

mass of the object in water, $M_w$ = 0.012 kg

let the mass of the object in air = $M_a$

weight of the oil, $W_0 = M_a - 0.013$

weight of the water, $W_w = M_a - 0.012$

The relative density of the oil is given as;

$\gamma_0 = \frac{density \ of \ oil }{density \ of \ water} = \frac{W_0}{W_w} = \frac{M_a -0.013}{M_a -0.012} \\\\0.875 = \frac{M_a -0.013}{M_a -0.012}\\\\0.875(M_a - 0.012) = M_a - 0.013\\\\0.875M_a - 0.0105 = M_a -0.013\\\\0.875M_a - M_a = 0.0105 - 0.013\\\\-0.125 M_a = -0.0025\\\\M_a = \frac{0.0025}{0.125} \\\\M_a = 0.02 \ kg$

Therefore, the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.

When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it causes

geniusboy [140]

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 0.015 A

Voltage, V = 240 volts

We need to find the resistance. Using Ohm's law we can find it as follows :

$V=IR\\\\R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{240}{0.015}\\\\R=16000\ \Omega$

So, When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it causes 16000 ohms of resistance.

What controls the traits an organism has?

Charra [1.4K]

The Traits an organism displays are ultimately determined by the genes it inherited from its parents, in other words by its genotype. Variant copies of a gene are called alleles, and an individuals genotype is the sum of all the alleles inherited from the parents.
