Answer:

The main difference between friction and viscosity is that friction is used to refer to forces that resist relative motion, in general, whereas viscosity refers specifically to resistive forces that occur between layers of a fluid when fluids attempt to flow.

Answer:

35.20 m

Explanation:

By the law of conservation of energy we have,

$mg(H-h)=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$g(H-h)=\frac{1}{2}v^2$

$\Rightarrow H=\frac{v^2}{2g}+h$

where m= mass of the skier, h= 3.00 m

D= horizontal distance=13.9 m

H= maximum height attained

Also, the horizontal distance covered by the skier is

D=vt

$=v\frac{2g}{h}$

$\Rightarrow v^2=\frac{gD^2}{2h}$

thus, height H in terms of D is given by

$H=\frac{D^2}{2h}+h$

$H=\frac{13.9^2}{2\times3}+3$

H=35.20 m

Two ladybugs sit on a rotating disk that is slowing down at a constant rate. The ladybugs are at rest with respect to the surfac

d1i1m1o1n [39]

The two ladybugs have same rotational (angular) speed

Explanation:

The rotational (angular) speed of an object in circular motion is defined as:

$\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}$

where

$\theta$ is the angular displacement

t is the time interval considered

Here we have two ladybugs, which are located at two different distances from the axis. In particular, ladybug 1 is halfway between ladybug 2 and the axis of rotation. However, since they rotate together with the disk, and the disk is a rigid body, every point of the disk cover the same angle $\theta$ in the same time $t$ : this means that every point along the disk has the same angular speed, and therefore the two ladybugs also have the same angular speed.
