Why is friction useful between your feet and the ground?
mixer [17]

Answer:

It allows you to walk faster.

Explanation:  

It is the same force that allows you to accelerate forward when you run. Your planted foot can grip the ground and push backward, which causes the ground to push forward on your foot. We call this grip type of friction, where the surfaces are prevented from slipping across each other, a static frictional force.

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The period is T =  0.700 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The mass is m =  0.350  \ kg

     The extension of the spring is  x =  12.0 \ cm = 0.12 \ m

       

The spring constant for this is mathematically represented as

       k  = \frac{F}{x}

Where F is the force on the spring which is mathematically evaluated as

       F  =  mg  =  0.350 * 9.8

       F  =3.43 \ N

So  

    k  = \frac{3.43 }{ 0.12}

    k  = 28.583 \ N/m

The period of oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

      T =  2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

substituting values

     T =  2  *  3.142*  \sqrt{\frac{0.35 }{28.583} }

     T =  0.700 \ s

How much tension must a rope withstand if used to accelerate a 960-kg car from rest horizontally along a frictionless surface to
Svetach [21]
Use a=(dv/dt)         (change in velocity/ change in time)=acceleration
(1.2/5)=acceleration

F=ma (Newton's second law, Force= Mass x Acceleration

=960 x 0.24     F=230.4N If  T<230.4N then the tow rope will hold

A container of gas is at a pressure of 1.3x10^5 Pa and a volume of 6 m^3. How much work is done by the gas if it expands at a co
Ivenika [448]
In thermodynamics, work of a system at constant pressure conditions is equal to the product of the pressure and the change in volume. It is expressed as follows:

W = P(V2 - V1)
W = 1.3x10^5 (2x6 - 6 )
<span>W = 780000 J
