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.

You run a race with your friend. At first you each have the same kinetic energy, but then you find that she is beating you. When
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

52.49 Kg

Explanation:

Let m1 and v1 denote your mass and velocity respectively

Let m2 and v2 denote your friends mass and velocity respectively

Kinetic energy is given by

KE= 0.5mv^{2}  

Since your kinetic energies are the same hence

0.5m1(v1)^{2}=0.5m2(v2)^{2}

m1(v1)^{2}=m2(v2)^{2} and making m2 the subject then  

m2=\frac { m1(v1)^{2}}{(v2)^{2}}

Since v2 is v1+0.28v1=1.28v1

Substituting m1 for 86 Kg

m2=\frac { 86 Kg(v1)^{2}}{(1.28v1)^{2}}= 52.49023\approx 52.49 Kg

A transverse wave on a string has an amplitude a. A tiny spot on the string is colored red. As one cycle of the wave passes by
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Option D) 4A

Explanation:

As the cycle of the wave passes by, the amplitude gives the longest journey when the spot travels from the undistributed position. During each cycle the spot travels "Four times" .

Considering one of this cycle, if it begins to travel from it's undistributed position , there would be four movements i.e

* Upward movement through distance A

*Downward movement through distance A

*Downward again through distance A

*Upward through distance A.

Then it would travel back to its undistributed position held
