Why does ice generally have very little friction when it is in contact with other materials?

1 answer:

6 0

Cant guarantee that this is the right answer, but it makes sense to me. Liquids generally dont have as much friction because theyre molecules arent packed as tight as solids and a lot of surfaces are warmer than ice, so the bottom of ice melts to water, making it more slippery and have less friction

What would the final volume of 40 L of gas at 80 pascals be if the pressure increases to 130 pascals?

melomori [17]

Answer:

Final volume, V2 = 24.62 L

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume = 40 L

Initial pressure = 80 Pa

Final pressure = 130 Pa

To find the final volume V2, we would use Boyles' law.

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

$PV = K$

$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$80 * 40 = 130V_{2}$

$3200 = 130V_{2}$

$V_{2} = \frac {3200}{130}$

$V_{2} = 24.62$

Final volume, V2 = 24.62 Liters

Which kind of road surface is easier to see when driving at night, a pebbled uneven surface or a mirror smooth surface?

pshichka [43]

A pebbled, uneven road would be easier to see at night because it minimizes the reflection of light from car’s light coming in the opposite direction. It is difficult to see when driving on the rainy day because the roadway reflects light from cars coming in the opposite <span>directions.</span>
