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>

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:103 pounds

Explanation:

Given

width of window $b=35 in.$

height of window $h=20 in.$

standard atmospheric pressure $P_{outside}=14.7 psi$

Also $P_{inside}=1.01P_{outside}$

Thus Net Force on the window will be the algebraic sum of Force due to outside and inside Pressure .

$F_{net}=(P_{inside}-P_{outside})\cdot A$

$F_{net}=P_{outside}(1.01-1)\times 35\times 20$

$F_{net}=14.7\times 0.01\times 35\times 20$

$F_{net}=102.9\ pounds\approx 103\ pounds$

For a certain RLC circuit the maximum generator EMF is 125 V and the maximum current is 3.20 A. If le a) the impedance of the ci

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Part (i)

Z = 39.06 ohm

Part (ii)

R = 21.7 ohm

Explanation:

a) here we know that

maximum value of EMF = 125 V

maximum value of current = 3.20 A

now by ohm's law we can find the impedence as

$z = \frac{V_o}{i_o}$

now we will have

$z = \frac{125}{3.20} = 39.06 ohm$

Part b)

Now we also know that

$\frac{R}{z} = cos\theta$

$\theta = 0.982 rad = 56.3 degree$

now we have

$\frac{R}{39.06} = cos56.3$

$R = 21.7 ohm$

A thermistor is placed in a 100 °C environment and its resistance measured as 20,000 Ω. The material constant, β, for this therm

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

the thermistor temperature = $325.68 \ ^0 \ C$

Explanation:

Given that:

A thermistor is placed in a 100 °C environment and its resistance measured as 20,000 Ω.

i.e Temperature

$T_1 = 100^0C\\T_1 = (100+273)K\\\\T_1 = 373\ K$

Resistance of the thermistor $R_1 =$ 20,000 ohms

Material constant $\beta$ = 3650

Resistance of the thermistor $R_2$ = 500 ohms

Using the equation :

$R_1 = R_2 \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$\frac{R_1}{ R_2} = \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

Taking log of both sides

$In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2} = In \ \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2} = {\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$\frac{ In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2}}{ {\beta}} = (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})$

$\frac{1}{T_2} = \frac{1}{T_1} - \frac{ In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2}}{ {\beta}}$

${T_2} = \frac{\beta T_1}{\beta - In (\frac{R_1}{R_2})T}$

Replacing our values into the above equation :

${T_2} = \frac{3650*373}{3650 - In (\frac{20000}{500})373}$

${T_2} = \frac{1361450}{3650 - 3.6888*373}$

${T_2} = \frac{1361450}{3650 - 1375.92}$

${T_2} = \frac{1361450}{2274.08}$

${T_2} = 598.68 \ K$

${T_2} = 325.68 \ ^0 \ C$

Thus, the thermistor temperature = $325.68 \ ^0 \ C$
