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>

The tow spring on a car has a spring constant of 3,086 N / m and is initially stretched 18.00 cm by a 100.0 kg college student o

sdas [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The spring constant of the spring, k = 3086 N/m

The spring is stretched 18 cm or 0.18 m

Mass of the student, m = 100 kg

Potential energy of the spring, $P_f=20\ J$

To find,

The velocity of the car.

Solution,

It is a case of conservation of energy. The total energy of the system remains conserved. So,

$P_i=K_f+P_f$

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20$

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3086\times (0.18)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20$

$50-20=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$30=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{60}{100}}$

v = 0.774 m/s

So, the velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

in a lever, a load of 600N is lifted by using 400 effort. If the load is at the distance of 20cm and the effort at the distance

koban [17]

Explanation:

Load (l) = 680N

Effort (E) = 500N

Length slope (l) = 12m

Height slope (h) = 8 m

Output = load * height

680 *8 = 5.44 *103 J

The Input = effort * length = 500 *12 = 6000J

the Mechanical advantage (M.A) = load effort= 600500=1.36

the Velocity ratio (V.R) =lh=128 = 1.5

the Efficiency =M.A100%V.R= 90.6%

Which statement describes a scientific theory?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

A theory changes based on new observations and testing.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is a product of multiple trials and repeated experiments. It usually follows after carefully conducting and testing the validity of the hypothesis.

A scientific theory provides an explanation into how something behaves.

A law just states a finding will not explain it.

Most theories are tenable and can be improved upon when new observations and testing are carried out.
