The answer is static friction. This is the friction that involves objects that do not move.

Answer:

Static friction

Explanation:

Friction is a force which opposes the motion of one object moving relative to another. static friction and kinetic friction are the two type of friction.

Static friction is that type of friction which keeps an object at rest. Force must be applied greater than static friction to move an object. Therefore it is the static friction which helps the pile of rocks from falling apart.

A merry-go-round is spinning at a rate of 4.04.0 revolutions per minute. Cora is sitting 0.50.5 m from the center of the merry-g

dsp73

Answer:

angular speed of both the children will be same

Explanation:

Rate of revolution of the merry go round is given as

f = 4.04 rev/min

so here we have

$f = \frac{4.04}{60} =0.067 rev/s$

here we know that angular frequency is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi(0.067)$

$\omega = 0.42 rad/s$

now this is the angular speed of the disc and this speed will remain same for all points lying on the disc

Angular speed do not depends on the distance from the center but it will be same for all positions of the disc

How is voltmeter connected in the circuit to measure the potential difference between two points?

34kurt

Voltmeter is used to find the potential difference between two points.

We always connect it in parallel to the points where we need the potential difference.

Here in order to make the reading accurate we can increase the resistance of voltmeter so that it can not withdraw any current from the circuit.

1. A baseball is thrown vertically at 16.7 m/s. What is the maimum height of the baseball?

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

14.2 m

Explanation:

Using conservation of energy:

PE at top = KE at bottom

mgh = ½ mv²

h = v² / (2g)

h = (16.7 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)

h = 14.2 m

Using kinematics:

Given:

v₀ = 16.7 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (16.7 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 14.2 m

If the frequency of the wave is 140 hz, what is the speed of the wave?

saveliy_v [14]

If f=140hz
speed=?
wavelength=?
without all information given, it would be difficult to answer but the formula is speed=frequency ×wavelength

Robin Hood wishes to split an arrow already in the bull's-eye of a target 40 m away.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

5.843 m

Explanation:

suppose that the arrow leave the bow with a horizontal speed , towards he bull's eye.

lets consider that horizontal motion

distance = speed * time

time = 40/ 37 = 1.081 s

arrow doesnot have a initial vertical velocity component. but it has a vertical motion due to gravity , which may cause a miss of the target.

applying motion equation

(assume g = 10 m/s²)

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}*gt^{2} \\= 0+\frac{1}{2}*10*1.081^{2}\\= 5.843 m$

Arrow misses the target by 5.843m ig the arrow us split horizontally
