In order to make the athletic shoe to slide faster of a given surface you had to reduce the friction coefficient of the shoe with the surface.

One way to do that is to put some grease of the sole of the shoe, which undoubtedly would reduce the friction coefficient drastically and the shoe would slide more easily.

Also, if you make the sole smoother the shoe the friction coefficient would decrease and, again, the show would slide mor easily.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

c. the volume of the part of the ship that lies below the water's surface.

Explanation:

As stated in the problem, Archimedes' Principle tells us that that buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of fluid it displaces.  The volume of water that a ship displaces is the volume it occupies below the surface.

An Argon laser (λ = 5.0×102nm) shines down a silica glass fiber-optic cable with index of refraction 1.46. What is the speed of
Yanka [14]

Answer:

The speed of the laser light in the cable, c_f=2.1\times 10^8\ m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of Argon laser, \lambda=5\times 10^2\ nm=5\times 10^{-7}\ m

Refractive index, n = 1.46

Let c_f is the speed of the laser light in the cable. The speed of light in a medium is given by :

c_f=\dfrac{c}{n}

c_f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{1.46}

c_f=2.05\times 10^8\ m/s

or

c_f=2.1\times 10^8\ m/s

So, the speed of the laser light is 2.1\times 10^8\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
