Why does a gymnast rub powder on his hands before exercising on a set of parallel bars? (I need a scientific answer)

So he doesnt slip. Gives himself a good grip. The powder and the bar have friction. More friction = better grip

<u>Answer</u>

To increase friction for a better grip.

<u>Answer</u>

Most human beings do sweat hands especially on the palm. When this happens the person will not have a good grip of heavy objects because they will slide/slip from the hand.

<em>By applying the powder, you are trying to make the hand dry hence increasing the friction for a better grip. </em>

If the gymnast doesn't do this the parallel bars may slip from the hands and injure himself or herself.

matrenka [14]

Explanation:

Formula depicting relation between total flux and total charge Q is as follows.

              \phi  = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_{o}}    (Gauss's Law)

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

            Q = \phi \times \epsilon_{o}

                = -953 Nm^{2}/C \times 8.854 \times 10^{-12}

                = -8.4 \times 10^{-9} C

                = -8.4 nC

Therefore, when the unknown charge is q  then,

         -14.0 nC + 33.0 nC + q = -8.4 nC

               q = -27.4 nC

Thus, we can conclude that charge on the third object is -27.4 nC.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

A. the indices of refraction matched

Explanation:

The index of refraction, or refractive

index, is a measure of how fast light

rays travel through a given medium.

Alternatively, it could be said that

the refractive index is the measure of

the bending of a light ray when

passing from one medium to

another. Mathematically, it can be

represented as a ratio between two

different velocities – the velocity of

light in vacuum and the velocity of

light in a given medium.

For example, try putting a pencil in a jar full of water. If you look at the pencil from above, it would look as though the pencil has bent in the water. That happens due to the refraction of light. It occurs because as light rays enter water, they slow down, as the speed of light in water is lower than the speed of light in air. The magnitude of how much a medium refracts a light ray is determined by the index

What are three physical properties of gases
NikAS [45]

Answer:   Gases have three characteristic properties: (1) they are easy to compress, (2) they expand to fill their containers, and (3) they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form. An internal combustion engine provides a good example of the ease with which gases can be compressed.
