Make the surfaces smoother. Rough surfaces produce more friction and smooth surfaces reduce friction
Lubrication is another way to make a surface smoother
Make the object more streamlined
Reduce the forces acting on the surfaces
Reduce the contact between the surfaces.

Look at the rock sitting on the hill in the picture above. Gravity should make the rock slide down the hill. What force is acting to balance gravity,keeping the rock in place? - D. friction
Centripetal force and momentum have to do with movement. Gravity cannot balance gravity.

What physics concept underlies these three observations? When passing an oncoming truck on the highway, your car tends to sway t

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The underlying principle is the bernoulli's principle of fluid flow which states that a slow moving air stream exerts more pressure than a faster moving air stream

Explanation:

The air stream between the car and the truck experiences more drag and therefore has a relatively higher speed than the air stream on the other side of the car, this means the air on the other side exerts more side force on the car, the net side force causes the car to swoop sideways towards the truck.

The same applies to a moving convertible car at high speed. The air outside has a higher relative velocity than the air inside the car. The inside air exerts more force on the canvass roof causing it to bulge upwards.

The windows of old train crack due to the pressure from the air within the old train which moves at a lower relative speed to that between the train and the speed train.

A stationary sub uses sonar to send a 1.18x10^3 hertz sound wave through ocean water. The reflected sound wave from the flat oce

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a) v = 1524.7 m/s

b) T = 8.47*10^-4 s

λ = 1.29 m

Explanation:

a) First, in order to calculate the speed of the sound wave, you take into account that the velocity is constant, then, you use the following formula:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

d: distance traveled by the sound wave, which is twice the distance to the ocean bottom = 2*324 m = 648 m

t: time that sound wave takes to return to the sub = 0.425

$v=\frac{648m}{0.425s}=1524.7\frac{m}{s}$

hence, the speed of the sound wave is 1524.7 m/s

b) Next, with the value of the velocity of the wave you can calculate the wavelength of the wave, by using the following formula:

$v=\lambda f\\\\\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

f: frequency = 1.18*10^3 Hz

$\lambda=\frac{1524.7m/s}{1.18*10^3s^{-1}}=1.29m$

And the period is:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{1.18*10^3s^{-1}}=8.47*10^{-4}s$

hence, the wavelength and period of the sound wave is, respectively, 1.29m and 8.47*10^-4 s

Can one individual represent and entire population? Why or why not

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

A representative does his/her utmost to convey the feelings of the majority of the group they speak for, and stands up for their interests. This might be for negotiation, voting, litigation, diplomacy, etc.

A leader, ideally, inspires their constituents and brings out the best in them, as in strength, ethics, spirituality, and so on.

Short version: a rep is an agent or conduit. A leader is a catalyst. Either job can be hard. And yes, it can be done for most of a population. Maybe not all, but not everyone can fit into the same mold.
