The answer is B
because if you compare a regular road and ice... ice is smoother and therefore has less friction

B) because a road is usually covered in rocks which increases the friction, but since its now covered in ice which is usually a smooth surface is has less friction leading to the car sliding. Also if the top of the ice has melted it may hav left behind water and hitch is a lubricant and reduces friction

A small box is held in place against a rough vertical wall by someone pushing on it with a force directed upward at 27 ∘ above t
ycow [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Applied force, F = 18 N

Coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.4

Coefficient of kinetic friction, μs = 0.3

θ = 27°

Let N be the normal reaction of the wall acting on the block and m be the mass of block.

Resolve the components of force F.

As the block is in the horizontal equilibrium, so

F Cos 27° = N

N = 18 Cos 27° = 16.04 N

As the block does not slide so it means that the syatic friction force acting on the block balances the downwards forces acting on the block .

The force of static friction is μs x N = 0.4 x 16.04 = 6.42 N   .... (1)

The vertically downward force acting on the block is mg - F Sin 27°

                                                      = mg - 18 Sin 27° = mg - 8.172    ... (2)

Now by equating the forces from equation (1) and (2), we get

mg - 8.172 = 6.42

mg = 14.592

m x 9.8 = 14.592

m = 1.49 kg

Thus, the mass of block is 1.5 kg.

Water waves in a small tank are 6.6 m long. They travel at a speed of 2.9 m/s. What is the frequency of the water
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

.439 Hz

Explanation:

Wavelength = 6.6 m

speed = 2.9 m/s

  2.9 = 6.6 f

f = 2.9/6.6 =  .439 Hz

As water rises through the troposphere and cools, it changes from a(n) ————- to a(n) ———— through the process of condensation; w
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

GAS,   LIQUID,    CLOUDS

Explanation:

Water can be in three states: solid, liquid and gas, passing from one to another depending on the pressure and temperature.

In this complementation exercise.

When the water cools down the GAS goes to the LIQUID state, these small drops unite and form the CLOUDS

In the macroscopic world, you know that you can hear but cannot see around corners. Under what conditions does light bend around
omeli [17]

Answer:

a much larger slit, the phenomenon of Sound diffraction that slits for light.

this is a series of equally spaced lines giving a diffraction envelope

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the expression

    d sin θ = m λ

Where d is the distance of the slit, m the order of diffraction that is an integer and λ the wavelength.

 

For train the diffraction phenomenon, the d / Lam ratio is decisive if this relation of the gap separation in much greater than the wavelength does not reduce the diffraction phenomenon but the phenomena of geometric optics.

The wavelength range for visible light is 4 10⁻⁷ m to 7 10⁻⁷ m. The wavelength range for sound is 17 m to 1.7 10⁻² m. Therefore, with a much larger slit, the phenomenon of Sound diffraction that slits for light.

When we add a second slit we have the diffraction of each one separated by the distance between them, when the integrals are made we arrive at the result of the interference phenomenon, a this is a series of equally spaced lines giving a diffraction envelope

When I separate the distance between the two slits a lot, the time comes when we see two individual diffraction patterns
