Define the types of friction and give FOUR examples of each

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Static Friction - acts on objects when they are resting on a surface

Sliding Friction - friction that acts on objects when they are sliding over a surface

Rolling Friction - friction that acts on objects when they are rolling over a surface

Fluid Friction - friction that acts on objects that are moving through a fluid

Explanation:

Examples of static include papers on a tabletop, towel hanging on a rack, bookmark in a book , car parked on a hill.

Example of sliding include sledding, pushing an object across a surface, rubbing one's hands together, a car sliding on ice.

Examples of rolling include truck tires, ball bearings, bike wheels, and car tires.

Examples of fluid include water pushing against a swimmer's body as they move through it , the movement of your coffee as you stir it with a spoon, sucking water through a straw, submarine moving through water.

The refractive index n of transparent acrylic plastic (full name Poly(methyl methacrylate)) depends on the color (wavelength) of

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block is

$\theta _d =0.19 ^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for blue light is $n_F = 1.497$

The wavelength of the blue light is $F = 486.1 nm = 486.1 *10^{-9} \ m$

The refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for red light is $n_C = 1.488$

The wavelength of the red light is $C = 656.3 nm = 656.3 *10^{-9} \ m$

The incidence angle is $i = 45^o$

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the blue light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

$r_F = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) * n_a }{n_F} ]$

Where $n_a$ is the refractive index of air which have a value of $n_a = 1$

So

$r_F = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) * 1 }{ 1.497} ]$

$r_F = 28.18^o$

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the red light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

$r_C = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) * n_a }{n_C} ]$

Where $n_a$ is the refractive index of air which have a value of $n_a = 1$

So

$r_C = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) * 1 }{ 1.488} ]$

$r_F = 28.37^o$

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block

$\theta _d = r_C - r_F$

substituting values

$\theta _d = 28.37 - 28.18$

$\theta _d =0.19 ^o$

Describe the main reason why the scientific community did not accept Alfred wegener idea of continental drift?

lara31 [8.8K]

<span>I think they were also too skeptic to believe the continent did move or pull apart, even today do you believe that the continents broke from one big flat plate, and that they pulled apart? They also wonder what large force would be responsible for the movement.

It was much later that evidences from plant and animal features that had similarity from two different planets came up that scientists began accepting the idea of continental drift.
And similar rock strata from two different opposite continents, showed similar rock strata.
All these evidences came up much later after Alfred Wengener.

So Alfred Wengener was honored Posthumously</span>
