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.

Why is it important for DNA to be copied before cell division?
KATRIN_1 [288]
If DNA is improperly copied, the cell will function differently.
This is called a mutation.
Mutated cells do not do the originally intended purpose.

Velocity and acceleration are both vectors; they have a direction. What is thedirection of the velocity and acceleration vectors
just olya [345]

Answer:

d. Both A & C

Explanation:

- The velocity of the ball is a vector, whose magnitude indicates its rate of change of position, and it has a direction. In this case, the ball is moving upward, therefore the direction of motion is upward, so the direction of the velocity is upward as well.

- The acceleration of the ball is a vector, whose magnitude indicates the rate of change of the velocity. The direction of the acceleration is:

-- positive if the the magnitude of the velocity is increasing

-- negative if the magnitude of the velocity is decreasing

For a ball thrown upward, the acceleration is given by the acceleration of gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2. This acceleration points downward, and it is constant during the entire motion. In particular, it does not change direction, as it is always directed downward. Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is downward.

So, the correct answer is

d.Both A & C

Since A and C are both true:

a.The velocity vector is directed upward.

c.The acceleration is directed downward.

A 2.0-kg object is attached to a spring (k = 55.6 N/m) that hangs vertically from the ceiling. The object is displaced 0.045 m v
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration will be 1.251m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given mass of the object m = 2 kg

Spring constant k = 55.6 N/m

Amplitude is given as A = 0.045 m

We know that maximum acceleration in SHM is given by

Maximum acceleration =A\omega ^2

We know that \omega ^2=\frac{k}{m}=\frac{55.6}{2}=27.8

So maximum acceleration = 27.8\times 0.045=1.251m/sec^2

A coaxial cable has a charged inner conductor (with charge +8.5 µC and radius 1.304 mm) and a surrounding oppositely charged con
Tcecarenko [31]

Complete question:

A 50 m length of coaxial cable has a charged inner conductor (with charge +8.5 µC and radius 1.304 mm) and a surrounding oppositely charged conductor (with charge −8.5 µC and radius 9.249 mm).

Required:

What is the magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors? The Coulomb constant is 8.98755 × 10^9 N.m^2 . Assume the region between the conductors is air, and neglect end effects. Answer in units of V/m.

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors is 5.793 x 10⁵ V/m

Explanation:

Given;

charge of the coaxial capable, Q = 8.5 µC = 8.5  x 10⁻⁶ C

length of the conductor, L = 50 m

inner radius, r₁ = 1.304 mm

outer radius, r₂ = 9.249 mm

The magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors is given by;

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_o r} = \frac{Q}{2\pi \epsilon_o r L}

Where;

λ is linear charge density or charge per unit length

r is the distance halfway between the two cylindrical conductors

r = r_1 + \frac{1}{2}(r_2-r_1) \\\\r = 1.304 \ mm \ + \  \frac{1}{2}(9.249 \ mm-1.304 \ mm)\\\\r = 1.304 \ mm \ + \ 3.9725 \ mm\\\\r = 5.2765 \ mm

The magnitude of the electric field is now given as;

E = \frac{8.5*10^{-6}}{2\pi(8.85*10^{-12})(5.2765*10^{-3})(50)} \\\\E = 5.793*10^5 \ V/m

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors is 5.793 x 10⁵ V/m
