3. If you wanted the athletic shoe to slide faster on a surface, what might you do to the shoe? Provide at least two ways to mak

e the shoe slide faster, and explain in terms of the force of friction and the coefficient of friction.

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.

The period of a pendulum is measured 16 times. The average value of the period over these 16 trials is calculated to be 1.50 sec
marin [14]

Answer:

The additional trials needed is 48 trials

Explanation:

Given;

initial number of trials, n = 16 trials

the standard deviation, σ = 0.24 s

initial standard error, ε = 0.06 s

The standard error is given by;

\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

To reduce the standard error to 0.03 s, let the additional number of trials = x

0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{n+x} } \\\\0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{16+x} }\\\\0.03\sqrt{16+x} = 0.24\\\\\sqrt{16+x} = \frac{0.24}{0.03} \\\\\sqrt{16+x} = 8\\\\16+x = 8^2\\\\16+x = 64\\\\x = 64 -16\\\\x = 48 \ trials

Therefore, the additional trials needed is 48 trials.

The magnetic field at the equator points north. If you throw a positively charged object (for example, a baseball with some elec
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The magnetic force points in the positive z-direction, which corresponds to the upward direction.

Option 2 is correct, the force points in the upwards direction.

Explanation:

The magnetic force on any charge is given as the cross product of qv and B

F = qv × B

where q = charge on the ball thrown = +q (Since it is positively charged)

v = velocity of the charged ball = (+vî) (velocity is in the eastern direction)

B = Magnetic field = (+Bj) (Magnetic field is in the northern direction; pointing forward)

F = qv × B = (+qvî) × (Bj)

F =

| î j k |

| qv 0 0|

| 0 B 0

F = i(0 - 0) - j(0 - 0) + k(qvB - 0)

F = (qvB)k N

The force is in the z-direction.

We could also use the right hand rule; if we point the index finger east (direction of the velocity), the middle finger northwards (direction of the magnetic field), the thumb points in the upward direction (direction of the magnetic force). Hence, the magnetic force is acting upwards, in the positive z-direction too.

Hope this Helps!!!

What would you predict for this elephant's stride frequency? That is, how many steps per minute will the elephant take?
Sonja [21]
<span>` You can consider T to be in units of seconds/step. Frequency is the inverse of period, so 
1/T = frequency and has units of steps per second. There will be 60 times as many steps in a minute.</span>

A meter stick is suspended vertically at a pivot point 22 cm from the top end. It is rotated on the pivot until it is horizontal
suter [353]

Answer:

5.82812 rad/s

Explanation:

L = Length of meter stick = 1 m = 100 cm

m_c = The center of mass of the stick = \frac{L}{2}-0.22=0.5-0.22=0.28\ m

\omega = Angular velocity

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

I=I_c+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{mL^2}{12}+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{m1^2}{12}+m0.28^2\\\Rightarrow I=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)

As the energy in the system is conserved

mgh=I\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow mgh=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow gh=(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 9.81\times 0.28}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=5.82812\ rad/s

The maximum angular velocity is 5.82812 rad/s

Describe the changes of motion when marble is moved from one viewpoint to another.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

according to Newton First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia); An object at rest will stay at rest, forever, as long as nothing pushes or pulls on it. An object in motion will stay in motion, traveling in a straight line, forever, until something pushes or pulls on it.

the marble will move in a straight line
