Answer:

Because on different surfaces there's more/less friction. Smooth surfaces will allow the duster to accelerate while rough surfaces will decrease the acceleration.

Answer:

Because of the difference in the magnitude of friction.

Explanation:

Friction is defined as the force which is produced between the two surfaces when these two surfaces are in contact with each other.

When we observing the different surfaces there will be different value of friction it is less or high with respect to different surfaces.

Smooth surfaces which posses less friction allow duster to accelerate while on the other hand rough surface will decrease the acceleration of the duster due to high friction.

A rotating fan completes 1200 revolutions every minute. Consider the tip of a blade, at a radius of 0.15 m. (a) Through what dis

olga55 [171]

Answer:

(a) 0.942 m

(b) 18.84 m/s

(d) 0.05 s

Explanation:

(a) In one revolution, it travels through one circumference, 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 0.15 m = 0.942 m.

(b) Its frequency, f, is 1200 rev/min = $\dfrac{1200}{60}$ rev/s = 20 rev/s.

Its angular frequency, ω = 2πf = 2π × 20 = 40π

The speed is given by

v = ωr = 40π × 0.15 = 6π = 18.84 m/s

(d) The period is the inverse of the frequency because it is the time taken to complete one revolution.

$T = \dfrac{1}{f}$

T = 1/20 = 0.05 s

The mass of a football player who weighs 1250N

Readme [11.4K]

Ah hah ! That depends on where he weighs 1250N, because
weight depends not only on mass but also on the local gravity.
So the same mass can have different weights in different places,
and the same weight can indicate different mass in different places.

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) .

Note: 1250N is almost exactly 281 pounds.

-- If he weighs 1250N on Mars, then his mass is 336.8 kg.

-- If he weighs 1250N on Earth, then his mass is 127.5 kg.

-- If he weighs 1250N on the Moon, then his mass is 770.2 kg.

What are the four types of musical instruments and what are the physical behind each type of musical instrument

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The four types of musical instruments are percussion, woodwind, brass, and strings.

Explanation:

Percussion instruments include drums, triangle, cymbals, and xylophones. There are more instruments than what i've mentioned though. Percussion instruments often produce the beat of songs.

Woodwind instruments include clarinets, oboe, flute, and saxophone. Woodwind instruments often produce the harmony of songs and, occasionally, the melody.

Brass instruments include trumpet, trombone, french horn, and tuba. Brass instruments often produce the harmony of songs, the trumpet produces the melody a lot though.

String instruments include guitars, violins, cello, bass, ukulele, and banjo. String instruments produce both the harmony and the melody. These instruments often produce really beautiful music, in my opinion.
