A fireman is sliding down a fire pole. As he speeds up, he tightens his grip on the pole, thus increasing the vertical frictiona

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The fireman will continue to descend, but with a constant speed.

Explanation:

In kinetic friction (which is the case discussed here) since the fireman is already in motion because of a certain force, once the frictional force matches the normal force, the fireman will stop accelerating and continue moving at a constant rate with the original speed he had. We will need a force greater than the normal force acting on the fireman to cause a deceleration.

We need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.

Static friction occurs in objects that are stationary, while kinetic friction occurs in objects that are already in motion.

In static friction, when the frictional force matches the weight or normal force of the object, the object remains stationary.

While in kinetic friction, when the frictional force matches the normal force, the object will stop accelerating. This is the case of the fireman sliding down the pole as discussed above.

Why was the idea of plate tectonics difficult for many scientists to accept for many years after it was first introduced?

pentagon [3]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The idea of plate tectonics was difficult for many scientists to accept for many years after it was first introduced because there was no explanation yet for how it was happening. It was only to the recent times that these were proven.

Give a specific example of a machine,and describe how its mechanical efficiency might be calculated

natta225 [31]

A machine that is interesting will be the homework machine. The way it works is you put your homework inside a slot, and you have to write any three letter word so the machine knows what handwriting to use. In 2 minutes your homework will be complete in your writing.

The light waves have that particular interference from question #1 because they are emitted _____.

Elis [28]

I am attaching the rest of your question so it makes sense,

Since lasers are made from stacking light waves that add together into a larger wave due to CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE.

Then, light waves have that constructive interference (from question #1) because they are emitted IN PHASE with each other.

This means that they arrive at the same point of space with the same characteristics and their effects do not cancel each other, but the opposite, their intensity increases.
