my hypothesis is that If you drop a piece of buttered toast, it will land butter side down.

I tested it by dropping 10 pieces of buttered toast off the table and noted on which side it landed

It could be falsified cause I just made all of this up. In essence, it's like flipping a coin, 50/50 chance so I could say that 5 landed butter up and 5 landed butter down.

Sound level at distance of 15 m is given as 20 dB

so intensity at this distance is given as

$L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}$

$20 = 10 Log{I}{10^{-12}}$

$I_1 = 10^{-10}W/m^2$

now if we move closer to some some distance the sound level is now 50 dB

now the intensity is given as

$L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}$

$50 = 10Log\frac{I}{10^{-12}}$

$I_2 = 10^{-7}W/m^2$

now we know that

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}$

$\frac{10^{-10}}{10^{-7}} = \frac{r_2^2}{15^2}$

$r_2 = 47 cm$

so now the distance from friend must be 47 cm

Difference between work done against gravity and friction

mario62 [17]

Mark Brainliest please

Friction is a nonconservative force. Therefore work done against friction cannot be stored as potential energy and later converted back to kinetic the way work against gravity can.

Gravity always pulls objects such as a desk, book or person down. Thus, when you jump, gravity causes you to land on the ground. Friction, however, doesn't pull objects down. ... Instead friction occurs when something like a machine or individual pulls a sliding object in the opposite direction of another object.

Friction and gravity exist in every aspect of a person’s life. For example, almost every movement you make, such as walking and running, involves friction. When you throw a ball up, gravity causes the ball to fall down. A person sliding a book across a table creates friction. Nevertheless, differences between gravity and friction also exist. Force affects gravity and friction in different ways.
