A person driving a car applies the brakes. This produces friction. True or False

That's how brakes always used to work, so it was True, until just a few years ago.

But now, in hybrid or all-electric cars, brakes don't work by friction. So for that kind of cars, it's false.

Friction means that something holds back a moving object. When you apply the breaks in a car, you apply friction to a car that's moving to make it stop. Applying the breaks comes into contact with the car which enables it to totally stop. Therefore, the answer is True.

Best of Luck!

What is general relativity​
Katena32 [7]

Explanation:

General relativity is a theory of space and time. ... The central idea of general relativity is that space and time are two aspects of spacetime. Spacetime is curved when there is matter, energy, and momentum resulting in what we perceive as gravity. The links between these forces are shown in the Einstein field equations.

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

a. 86.80 m

b. i. The mass of the bob

ii. The length of the pendulum

Explanation:

a. Determine the height of the smokestack.

Using T = 2π√(L/g) where T = period of pendulum = 18.7 s, L = length of pendulum = height of smokestack and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

So, making L subject of the formula, we have

T = 2π√(L/g)

T/2π = √(L/g)

squaring both sides, we have

(T/2π)² = L/g

L = (T/2π)²g

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L = (T/2π)²g

L = (18.7 s/2π)²(9.8 m/s²)

L = (2.976 s)²(9.8 m/s²)

L = 8.857 s² × 9.8 m/s²

L = 86.796 m

L ≅ 86.80 m

b. What factors influence the period of a simple pendulum

i. The mass of the bob

ii. The length of the pendulum

6. Dan wants to create acceleration. He
kiruha [24]

d. Maintain constant velocity

Explanation:

A constant velocity leads to no acceleration.

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity with time:

  Acceleration = \frac{change in velocity}{time taken}

If there is no change in velocity i.e constant velocity.

At constant velocity, the change in velocity is 0.

 If we put zero in the equation above, we will obtain an acceleration value of 0.

A 6 kg object falls 10 m. The object is attached mechanically to a paddle-wheel which rotates as the object falls. The paddle-wh
maksim [4K]

Answer:16.234^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object (m)=6 kg

falling height(h)=10 m

mass of water(m_w)=600 gm

temperature of water =15

specific heat of water =4.186 j/g-^{\circ}C

Let T be the Final Temperature of water

Here Object Potential Energy is converted into Heat energy which will be absorbed by water

Potential Energy(P.E.)=mgh=6\times 9.81\times 10=588.6 J

Heat supplied=m_wc(\Delta T)

H.E.=600\times 4.186\times (T-16)

588.6=2511.6\times (T-16)

T-16=0.234

T=16.234^{\circ}C

This is not an efficient way of heating water as there is only0.234^{\circ}Cincrease in temperature.

When a basketball player dribbles a ball, it falls to the floor and bounces up. Is a force required to make it bounce? Why? If a
Marizza181 [45]
Energy is the one that is stored in the ball when it drops. Just before it hits the ground, the energy depends on the mass of the ball and its velocity. When the ball hits, it is compressed and the energy is stored in the compression of the air in the ball and the elasticity of the material that the ball is made from. Some is also converted to heat. The stored energy in the ball causes a force to make the ball back into a round shape and this force presses against the propels and floor the ball back up. The small amount lost as heat is the reason that the ball bounces up with less energy than when it hit.
