How do professional bicycle riders reduce friction. Name two ways. Thx

A well maintained bicycle is key. Oil the chain so that it's less likely to get hung up. It will have a smoother flow. Another could be in their clothing. Notice they usually wear good fitting clothing? I believe the more from fitting pants help clothing friction. Another way could be keeping the tires well inflated so that the tires aren't dragging. Rolling along smoothly on properly inflated tires seems like a must. Get a few more answers along with mine, so that you have a variety to choose from.

Suppose that a rectangular toroid has 1,500 windings and a self-inductance of 0.060 H. If the height of the rectangular toroid i

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Current in the toroid will be $I=17.32\times 10^{-3}A$

Explanation:

We have given number of winding in rectangular toroid N = 1500

Self inductance of toroid L = 0.06 H

Magnetic energy stored in toroid $E=9\times 10^{-16}J$

We have to find the current in the toroid

Magnetic energy stored is equal to $E=\frac{1}{2}Li^2$

$9\times 10^{-6}=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.06\times I^2$

$I=17.32\times 10^{-3}A$

So current in the toroid will be $I=17.32\times 10^{-3}A$

A person is lying on a diving board 3.50 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

1.995 m

Explanation:

Distance of penny as seen by the person = 5 m

Height of person from water surface = 3.50 m

Apparent depth of penny = 5 - 3.50 = 1.5 m

refractive index of water, n = 1.33

real depth / apparent depth = n

real depth = 1.33 x 1.5 = 1.995 m

Thus, the actual depth of water at that point is 1.995 m.

Just about everyone at one time or another has been burned by hot water or steam. This problem compares the heat input to your s

kkurt [141]

Answer:

B. Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the latent heat of vaporization is released as well.

Explanation:

It is given that both steam and the boiling water when in contact with the skin cools down from 100 to 34 degrees Celsius.

For any substance of mass m, the heat required to change the temperature by $\Delta T$ is $mC\Delta T$ (S.I. unit = Joules).

where C, the specific heat capacity is the same and a constant for both the condensed steam and the boiling water.

But, there is a "hidden" energy (heat) released by the steam called latent heat

(given by mL, L = specific latent heat) which allows the phase transition (gas to liquid). While both of them are at the same temperature, their energy (heat) is different, which is why steam causes burns worse than boiling water
