Explain why it is easy to slip on a floor that is wet please, I need this answered now if anyone can.

It is easy to slip on a floor that is wet because there is less friction between your shoe/foot and the floor. Friction is basically when two parallel objects come in contact and form resistance. An effect of friction is the slowing down of velocity in the moving object aka your foot. This is why a rocky surface is less slippery than a marbled surface. Likewise with a west and dry surface. Hope this helps!

Wet floors<span> have less friction so there is a lesser chance of </span>slipping<span>. This is because the coefficient of friction μ and the therefore resultant force of limiting friction Fs is significantly reduced when a lubricant is introduced between the the two kinetic or static surfaces</span>

natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

She's correct but doesn't mean the wagon cannot put into motion. The force that she applied on the wagon, according to Newton's 2nd law, would have generated an acceleration, which translates into motion. The reaction force the wagon applies on her due to Newton's 3rd law, would not hinder its own motion.

classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 128 feet per

ddd [48]

Answer:

$t_1 = 0.28 s$

$t_2 = 7.72 s$

Explanation:

Given that height of the projectile as a function of time is

$h = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112$

here we know that

h = 147 ft

so from above equation

$147 = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112$

$16 t^2 - 128 t + 35 = 0$

now by solving above quadratic equation we know that

$t_1 = 0.28 s$

$t_2 = 7.72 s$

If there is a difference in air pressure between two locations, what happens?

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

High in the atmosphere, air pressure decreases. ... A low pressure system has lower pressure at its center than the areas around it. Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet. As the air rises, the water vapor within it condenses, forming clouds and often precipitation.
