I believe the answer you are looking for is Static Friction. Static Friction is the force that holds an object in place until it starts to move. Then it switches to rolling friction.

For example, if you have a 1/2 ton truck sitting in front of you and the truck is in neutral. (meaning it can roll if pushed). The truck is extremely hard to move at first. That is because static friction is holding it in place until the amount of force exceeds the limit of static friction.

So if we continue to push at the truck and you feel it starting to move, then once it starts moving it is much easier to push, that is because we moved past static friction to rolling friction. Rolling friction is what helps slow things down. If you roll a ball across a carpet floor it eventually comes to a stop.

Liula [17]

The question is incomplete, here is a complete question.

An arctic weather balloon is filled with 27.8 L of helium gas inside a prep shed. The temperature inside the shed is 13 ⁰C. The balloon is then taken outside, where the temperature is -9 ⁰C. Calculate the new volume of the balloon. You may assume the pressure on the balloon stays constant at exactly 1 atm. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer : The new volume of the balloon is 25.7 L

Explanation :

Charles's Law : It is defined as the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

V\propto T

or,

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where,

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 27.8 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 13^oC=273+13=286K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = -9^oC=273+(-9)=264K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{27.8L}{286K}=\frac{V_2}{264K}

V_2=25.7L

Therefore, the new volume of the balloon is 25.7 L

the frequency of a given region of the electromagnetic spectrum is more than 3 x 10^19HZ. note that the speed of light is 2.998
Cerrena [4.2K]
<span>To solve this problem, You need to look up a picture/diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum. This will have the wave regions listed as well</span> as frequencies and wavelength.
Wavelength is distance/length of one wave, which can be calculated using frequency (hz = s^-1) and the speed of light.
2.998 x 10^8 m/s ÷ 3 x 10^19 s^-1 = 9.99 x 10^-12 m

The Frequency given falls in between X-rays and Gamma rays. The wavelength however; is in the Gama ray region.

How are properties useful in classifying materials
lukranit [14]
S. Properties can be anything from composition to color to ductility. Without knowing an object's properties, it is impossible to characterize it. For example, looking at some common properties of metals helps to differentiate them from non-metals or metalloids.
