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.

Charlie pulls horizontally to the right on a wagon with a force of 37.2 N. Sara pulls horizontally to the left with a force of 2
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The work done on the wagon is 37 joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

The force applied by Charlie to the right, F = 37.2 N

The force applied by Sara to the left, F' = 22.4 N

We need to find the work done on the wagon after it has moved 2.50 meters to the right. The net force acting on the wagon is :

F_n=F-F'

F_n=37.2-22.4

F_n=14.8\ N

Work done on the wagon is given by the product of net force and displacement. It is given by :

W=F_n\times d

W=14.8\ N\times 2.5\ m

W = 37 Joules

So, the work done on the wagon is 37 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

A charge is divided q1 and (q-q1)what will be the ratio of q/q1 so that force between the two parts placed at a given distance i
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

q / q_{1} = 2, assuming that q_{1} and (q - q_{1}) are point charges.

Explanation:

Let k denote the coulomb constant. Let r denote the distance between the two point charges. In this question, neither k and r depend on the value of q_{1}.

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force between q_{1} and (q - q_{1}) would be:

\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k\, q_{1}\, (q - q_{1})}{r^{2}} \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\end{aligned}.

Find the first and second derivative of F with respect to q_{1}. (Note that 0 < q_{1} < q.)

First derivative:

\begin{aligned}\frac{d}{d q_{1}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\right] \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, \left[\frac{d}{d q_{1}} [q\, q_{1}] - \frac{d}{d q_{1}}[{q_{1}}^{2}]\right]\\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\end{aligned}.

Second derivative:

\begin{aligned}\frac{d^{2}}{{d q_{1}}^{2}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\right] \\ &= \frac{(-2)\, k}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}.

The value of the coulomb constant k is greater than 0. Thus, the value of the second derivative of F with respect to q_{1} would be negative for all real r. F\! would be convex over all q_{1}.

By the convexity of \! F with respect to \! q_{1} \!, there would be a unique q_{1} that globally maximizes F. The first derivative of F\! with respect to q_{1}\! should be 0 for that particular \! q_{1}. In other words:

\displaystyle \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1}) = 0<em>.</em>

2\, q_{1} = q.

q_{1} = q / 2.

In other words, the force between the two point charges would be maximized when the charge is evenly split:

\begin{aligned} \frac{q}{q_{1}} &= \frac{q}{q / 2} = 2\end{aligned}.

kenny6666 [7]

<span>A cinder cone is formed from relatively low viscosity magma with a high gas content. Cinder cones are formed by the volcanic ash, cinders that are formed around the volcanic vent. Cinder cones have a bowl shaped crater and the shape of the cinder cones depend on the ejected particles that formed the cinder.</span>
