Answer:
The fireman will continue to descend, but with a constant speed.
Explanation:
In kinetic friction <em>(which is the case discussed here) </em>since the fireman is already in motion because of a certain force, once the frictional force matches the normal force, the fireman will stop accelerating and continue moving at a constant rate with the original speed he had. We will need a force greater than the normal force acting on the fireman to cause a deceleration.
We need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.
Static friction occurs in objects that are stationary, while kinetic friction occurs in objects that are already in motion.
In static friction, when the frictional force matches the weight or normal force of the object, the object remains stationary.
While in kinetic friction, when the frictional force matches the normal force, the object will stop accelerating. This is the case of the fireman sliding down the pole as discussed above.
Your "weight" is the name you give to that gravitational force.
So your question actually says:
"Your weight just got three times stronger !
What happens to your weight ?"
Answer:
Statement 2 is wrong
Explanation:
To check the statements in this exercise, let's describe the main properties of electromagnetic waves. Let's describe the characteristics
* they are transverse waves
* formed by the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields
* the speed of the wave is the speed of light
with these concepts let's review the final statements
1) True. Formed by the oscillation of the two fields
2) False. They are transverse waves
3) True. Can travel by vacuum as they are supported by oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields
4) True. They all have the same speed of light
Statement 2 is wrong
Momentum is mass in motion and only applies to objects in motion. It's a term that describes a relationship between the mass and velocity of an object, and we can see this when it is written in equation form, p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass in kg and v is velocity in m/s.
