Answer:

A. <u>The water decreases the friction between the floor and the feet </u>

Explanation: Think about it like this, when your in the shower and water is on your skin, you can scrub it fluidly, but when the water dries in your towel, there is more friction when your rub your skin, this is because the molecules in water aren't as compact as solids, so anything acting against it, is most likely to disperse from it.

When might it be harder to stop a vehicle moving at 30 km/h than one moving at 60 km/h?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

when the momentum of the vehicle moving at 30 km/h is higher than the one from the vehicle moving at 60 km/h

Explanation:

It's much harder to stop a freight truck moving at 30 km/h than a hot wheels car moving at 60 km/h.

A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) see attached, a = g sin θ

b)

c)   v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Explanation:

In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by

          Wₓ = m a

          W sin θ = m a

          a = g sin θ

b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less

                θ' = 9/2  θ

             

c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.

The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy

Highest point

            Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)

Lowest point

          Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2

              v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

A 3.00N rock is thrown vertically into the air from the ground. At h=15.0m, v=25m/s upward. Use the work-energy theorem to find
butalik [34]

Answer:

so initial speed of the rock is 30.32 m/s

correct answer is b. 30.3 m/s

Explanation:

given data

h = 15.0m

v = 25m/s

weight of the rock m = 3.00N  

solution

we use here work-energy theorem that is express as here

work = change in the kinetic energy    ..............................1

so it can be written as

work = force × distance     ...................2

and

KE is express as

K.E = 0.5 × m × v²  

and it can be written as

F × d = 0.5 × m × (vf)² - (vi)²      ......................3

here

m is mass and vi and vf is initial and final velocity

F = mg = m  (-9.8)  , d = 15 m and v{f} = 25 m/s

so put value in equation 3 we get

m  (-9.8) × 15 = 0.5 × m × (25)² - (vi)²

solve it we get

(vi)² =  919

vi = 30.32 m/s

so initial speed of the rock is 30.32 m/s

Ml(d^2θ/dt^2) =-mgθ
Nata [24]

The equation of motion of a pendulum is:

\dfrac{\textrm{d}^2\theta}{\textrm{d}t^2} = -\dfrac{g}{\ell}\sin\theta,

where \ell it its length and g is the gravitational acceleration. Notice that the mass is absent from the equation! This is quite hard to solve, but for <em>small</em> angles (\theta \ll 1), we can use:

\sin\theta \simeq \theta.

Additionally, let us define:

\omega^2\equiv\dfrac{g}{\ell}.

We can now write:

\dfrac{\textrm{d}^2\theta}{\textrm{d}t^2} = -\omega^2\theta.

The solution to this differential equation is:

\theta(t) = A\sin(\omega t + \phi),

where A and \phi are constants to be determined using the initial conditions. Notice that they will not have any influence on the period, since it is given simply by:

T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega} = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{\ell}}.

This justifies that the period depends only on the pendulum's length.
