Why are bathroom tiles usually rough

Physics
1 answer:
Aleks04 [339]3 years ago
8 0
-- Bathroom tiles are usually cool, so water condenses on them
when you take a hot bath or shower in the room. 

-- The natural result is that a smooth tile would become slippery,
exactly when you're walking around with wet feet and nothing on them ...
a dangerous situation.

-- In order to circumvent this safety hazard, the tiles in the bathroom
should be rough, especially on the floor.

A 190 g glider on a horizontal, frictionless air track is attached to a fixed ideal spring with force constant 160 N/m. At the i
laiz [17]

(a) Let <em>x</em> be the maximum elongation of the spring. At this point, the glider would have zero velocity and thus zero kinetic energy. The total work <em>W</em> done by the spring on the glider to get it from the given point (4.00 cm from equilibrium) to <em>x</em> is

<em>W</em> = - (1/2 <em>kx</em> ² - 1/2 <em>k</em> (0.0400 m)²)

(note that <em>x</em> > 4.00 cm, and the restoring force of the spring opposes its elongation, so the total work is negative)

By the work-energy theorem, the total work is equal to the change in the glider's kinetic energy as it moves from 4.00 cm from equilibrium to <em>x</em>, so

<em>W</em> = ∆<em>K</em> = 0 - 1/2 <em>m</em> (0.835 m/s)²

Solve for <em>x</em> :

- (1/2 (160 N/m) <em>x</em> ² - 1/2 (160 N/m) (0.0400 m)²) = -1/2 (0.190 kg) (0.835 m/s)²

==>   <em>x</em> ≈ 0.0493 m ≈ 4.93 cm

(b) The glider attains its maximum speed at the equilibrium point. The work done by the spring as it is stretched away from equilibrium to the 4.00 cm position is

<em>W</em> = - 1/2 <em>k</em> (0.0400 m)²

If <em>v</em> is the glider's maximum speed, then by the work-energy theorem,

<em>W</em> = ∆<em>K</em> = 1/2 <em>m</em> (0.835 m/s)² - 1/2 <em>mv</em> ²

Solve for <em>v</em> :

- 1/2 (160 N/m) (0.0400 m)² = 1/2 (0.190 kg) (0.835 m/s)² - 1/2 (0.190 kg) <em>v</em> ²

==>   <em>v</em> ≈ 1.43 m/s

(c) The angular frequency of the glider's oscillation is

√(<em>k</em>/<em>m</em>) = √((160 N/m) / (0.190 kg)) ≈ 29.0 Hz

Angelina jumps off a stool. As she is falling, the Earth’s gravitational force on her is larger in magnitude than the gravitatio
valentinak56 [21]
The answer is True. The amount force exerted by any object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that our planet is exerting more gravitational force to Angelina, and Angelina is also exerting a gravitational force on our planet directly proportional to her mass. Angelina is actually falling towards the center of the earth,and also our planet is also moving towards Angelina, but it seems negligible with respect to Angelina.Our Sun is so massive that it held our planet in its orbit because of its gravitational force.

A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 12 m. The circular side of the pool is 3 m high, and the depth of the water is 2.5 m.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Explanation:

Diameter of pool = 12 m

radius of pool, r = 6 m

Total height raised, h = 3 + 2.5 = 5.5 m

density of water, d = 1000 kg/m³

Mass of water, m = Volume of water x density

m = πr²h x d

m = 3.14 x 6 x 6 x 5.5 x 1000

m = 113040 kg

Work = m x g x h

W = 113040 x 9.8 x 5.5

W = 6092856 J

trapecia [35]

Answer:

So the answer would be water based on the evidence shown below.

Explanation:

Mercury is a poor conductor of heat but good for electricity, water is a good conductor of heat but a poor conductor of electricity, wood is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, and glass is probably the worst conductor of heat.
