What are two ways friction can be useful

Physics

Gravity is an example of friction.  If we didn't have gravity, we would be flying all over the place.  Also, friction keeps us from sliding on the ground and falling.

What are the seasonal changes in the weasel in florida and the weasel in wyoming
AlekseyPX
Winter weasels, also called ermines or short-tailed weasels, have coats that turn from light brown to white in the winter. The color change begins at their stomachs and works its way outward, occurring in both spring and fall. Other species, like the long-tailed weasel, may turn at least partially white as well.

The length of daylight, not temperature, prompts the color change. As a result, weasels in winter may be stark white against a brown landscape before snow starts to fall. During warmer winters, this makes them easy prey for larger predators such as foxes, martens, and badgers.

What velocity will it take to slingshot a planet with 9.8m/s gravity
Yuri [45]
It depends on how close you get to it. Remember that its gravity decreases as you get farther from it.

Where is the near point of an normal eye when accidentally wear a contact lens with a power of +2.0 diopters?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The near point of an eye with power of +2 dopters, u' = - 50 cm

Given:

Power of a contact lens, P = +2.0 diopters

Solution:

To calculate the near point, we need to find the focal length of the lens which is given by:

Power, P = \frac{1}{f}

where

f = focal length

Thus

f = \frac{1}{P}

f = \frac{1}{2} = + 0.5 m

The near point of the eye is the point distant such that the image formed at this point can be seen clearly by the eye.

Now, by using lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{u'}

where

u = object distance = 25 cm = 0.25 m = near point of a normal eye

u' = image distance

Now,

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{0.5} - \frac{1}{0.25}

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

Solving the above eqn, we get:

u' = - 0.5 m = - 50 cm

How much heat (in kJ) is needed to convert 866 g of ice at −10°C to steam at 126°C? (The specific heats of ice and steam are 2.0
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

2671.3 kJ

Explanation:

m = 866 g at - 10 degree C converts into steam at 126 degree C.

The following steps are there

(1) ice at - 10 degree C converts into ice at 0 degree C

H1 = m x specific heat of ice x ΔT

H1 = 866 x 2.03 x 10 = 17579.8 J

(ii) ice at 0 degree C converts into water at 0 degree C

H2 = m x Latent heat of fusion = 866 x 334 = 289244 J

(iii) water at 0 degree C converts into water at 100 degree C

H3 =  m x specific heat of water x ΔT

ΔH3 = 866 x 4.186 x 100 = 362507.6 J

(iv) water at 100 degree C converts into steam at 100 degree C

H4 = m x Lateant heat of vaporisation

H4 = 866 x 2260 = 1957160 J

(v) seam at 100 degree C converts into steam at 126 degree C

H5 = m x specific heat of steam x ΔT

H5 = 866 x 1.99 x 26 = 44806.84 J

The total heat required is

H = H1 + H2 + H3 + H4 + H5

H = 2671298.24 J = 2671.3 kJ
