Increase because friction would decrease.

Coating the ramp with a smoother surface will decrease the friction. A decrease in friction will help to slide any object up the ramp easily. Thus, a lesser energy will be spent as compare to earlier. Hence, the ramp's efficiency will increase.

WheN a car is driven some distance the air pressure in the tyre increases,why?
KatRina [158]
Over the course of a long drive, as a result of alternating between braking and acceleration and of course steering, tires get heated up. When this happens, the air within the tires gets heated up, causing the air within the tire to expand. This expanding air exerts force on the tire from inside thus increasing tire pressure.

From a height of 40.0 m, a 1.00 kg bird dives (from rest) into a small fish tank containing 50.5 kg of water. Part A What is the
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

0.00185 °C

Explanation:

From the question,

The potential energy of the bird = heat gained by the water in the fish tank.

mgh = cm'(Δt)................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the bird, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height, c = specific heat capacity of water, m' = mass of water, Δt = rise in temperature of water.

make Δt the subject of the equation

Δt = mgh/cm'............... Equation 2

Given: m = 1 kg, h = 40 m, m' = 50.5 kg

constant: g = 9.8 m/s², c = 4200 J/kg.K

Substitute into equation 2

Δt = 1(40)(9.8)/(50.5×4200)

Δt = 392/212100

Δt = 0.00185 °C

Explain this quote "ambition beats genius 99% of the time. "
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The idea that hard work is the most important aspect of new inventions existed before Edison gave his quote, however.

The idea behind this quote is that it is easy to have a good idea, or a creative insight. However, to follow through with that idea, and turn it into a reality, takes a level of patience and dedication that few people have.

In the equation for centripetal force, which expression represents the centripetal acceleration of the object? mv2 StartFraction
Sphinxa [80]

Answer: \frac{V^{2}}{r}

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd Law of motion the force F is proportional to the mass Fm and acceleration a:

F=m.a (1)

On the other hand, the equation for the Centripetal force is:

F=\frac{mV^{2}}{r} (2)

Where:

V is the velocity

r is the radius of the circular motion

Making (1) and (2) equal:

m.a=\frac{mV^{2}}{r} (3)

Hence:

a=\frac{V^{2}}{r} This is the expression for the centripetal acceleration

It should be noted, this acceleration is directed toward the center of the circumference of the circular motion (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).
