When you’re driving on a level road and there’s ice on the pavement, you hardly notice that ice while you’re heading straight at

a constant speed. Why is it that you only notice how slippery the road is when you try to turn left or right, or to speed up or slow down?

Answer:We only Friction while accelerating or decelerating

Explanation:

This occurs because when we try to turn left or right , we are trying to change the velocity of car which in turns result in acceleration and finally change in force .

Change in force causes friction to vary and we experience the slipperiness of road.

The motor does 20 J of work on the block, it means that the total mechanical energy of the block has increased by 20 J. But the increase in total mechanical energy is equal to the sum of the increases in potential energy and kinetic energy:
\Delta E = \Delta U + \Delta K
So, if the gravitational potential energy has increased by 15 J, the kinetic energy has increased by
\Delta K = \Delta E - \Delta U = 20 J - 15 J= 5 J

Calculate the electric field on the surface of a charged sphere with a radius of 5cm and charge 10μC. Thanks
victus00 [196]

As you approach the surface of the sphere very closely, the electric field should resemble more and more the electric field from an infinite plane of charge.

If you check Gauss's law (recalling that the field in the conductor is zero) you will see that if the surface charge density is σ=Q/4πR2, then indeed the field at the surface is σ/ϵ0 as in the infinite charge of plane case.

Such a field is constant, the field lines are parallel and non-diverging, and the infinities associated with the field due to point charge do not arise.

2 76 Consider a household that uses 14,000 kWh of elec- (tricity per year and 3400 L of fuel oil during a heating sea- son. The
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The total amount of CO₂ produced will be  = 20680 kg/year

The reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions by that household per year = 3102 kg/year

Explanation:

Given:

Power used by household = 14000 kWh

Fuel oil used = 3400 L

CO₂ produced of fuel oil = 3.2 kg/L

CO₂ produced of electricity = 0.70 kg/kWh

Now, the total amount of CO₂ produced will be = (14000 kWh × 0.70 kg/kWh) + (3400 L × 3.2 kg/L)

⇒ The total amount of CO₂ produced will be = 9800 + 10880 = 20680 kg/year

Now,

if the usage of electricity and fuel oil is reduced by 15%, the reduction in the amount of the CO₂ emission will be = 0.15 × 20680 kg/year = 3102 kg/year
