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>

A 5.0-kg block of wood is placed on a 2.0-kg aluminum frying pan. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of both the
Shalnov [3]

Heat required to raise the temperature of a given system is

Q = ms\Delta T

here we know that

m = mass

s = specific heat capacity

\Delta T = change in temperature

now as we know that

mass of wood = 5 kg

mass of aluminium pan = 2 kg

change in temperature = 45 - 20 = 25 degree C

specific heat capacity of wood = 1700 J/kg C

specific heat capacity of aluminium = 900 J/kg C

now here we will find the total heat to raise the temperature of both

Q = m_1s_1\Delta T_1 + m_2s_2\Delta T_2

Q = 5 * 1700 * 25 + 2 * 900 * 25

Q = 212500 + 45000

Q = 257500 J

So heat required to raise the temperature of the system is 257500 J

An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plates of area 2.90 cm2 separated by 2.50 mm. The capacitor is connected to a(n) 18.0
Murrr4er [49]

Complete question:

An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plates of area 2.90 cm2 separated by 2.50 mm. The capacitor is connected to a(n) 18.0 V battery. Find the value of its capacitance.

Answer:

The value of its capacitance is 1.027 x 10⁻¹² F

Explanation:

Given;

area of the plate, A = 2.9 cm² = 2.9 x 10⁻⁴ m²

separation distance of the plates, d = 2.5 mm = 2.5 x 10⁻³ m

voltage of the battery, V = 18 V

The value of its capacitance is calculated as;

C = \frac{k\epsilon_0A}{d} \\\\C = \frac{(1)(8.85\times 10^{-12})(2.9 \times 10^{-4})}{2.5 \times 10^{-3}} \\\\C = 1.027 \times 10^{-12} \ F

Therefore, the value of its capacitance is 1.027 x 10⁻¹² F

A sidereal day is the time it takes for
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

B. the stars to come back to the same positions in the sky.

Explanation:

In fact, the solar day is equivalent to more than a rotation, because when the point has turned completely, it is not, as it should, in the same position with respect to the Sun.

The reason for this is that while performing the rotation, the Earth simultaneously moved following its orbit around the Sun.

When the reference point completed its rotation, the Earth already moved almost 2,500,000 km., So that to see the Sun again it will be necessary to turn a little more.

Solar day is more than a rotation. The sidereal or sidereal day, commonly used by astronomers, is also based on the rotation of the Earth; but in this case a distant star is taken as a reference (sidereal comes from the Latin sidus which means "star").
