Answer:
B) Friction
Explanation:
Friction is a force that acts when an object is sliding along a surface. Microscopically, this force is due to the fact that the two surfaces are not perfectly smooth, but they have "imperfections" that cause a force that opposes the motion of the object.
For an object sliding on a flat surface, the force of friction has magnitude:

where
is the coefficient of kinetic friction
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration of gravity
The direction of the force of friction is always opposite to the direction of motion of the object.
In reality, friction also acts if the object is at rest and it is pushed by a force; in this case, we talk about static friction, and its magnitude is

where
is called coefficient of static friction, and it is generally larger than the coefficient of kinetic friction.
Answer:
Q = 913.9 gpm
Explanation:
The Hazen Williams equation can be written as follows:

where,
P = Friction Loss per foot of pipe =
= 4 x 10⁻⁴
Q = Flow Rate in gallon/min (gpm) = ?
d = pipe diameter in inches = (400 mm)(0.0393701 in/1 mm) = 15.75 in
C = roughness coefficient = 100
Therefore,

<u>Q = 913.9 gpm</u>
<span>Let F be the force of gravity, G be the gravitational constant, M be the mass of the earth, m your mass and r the radius of the earth, then:
F = G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2))
The above expression gives the force that you feel on the earth's surface, as it is today!
Let us now double the mass of the earth and decrease its diameter to half its original size.
This is the same as replacing M with 2M and r with r/2.
Now the gravitational force (F' ) on the new earth's surface is given by:
F' = G(2Mm / (4(pi)(r/2)^2)) = 2G(Mm / ((1/4)*4(pi)*r^2)) = 8G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2)) = 8F
So:
F' = 8F
This implies that the force that you would feel pulling you down (your weight) would increase by 800%!
You would be 8 times heavier on this "new" earth!</span>
The movement of tectonic plates can cause earthquakes. Some can be major and some can be minor. Both can affect non-earthquake proof buildings though
Pressing two objects together with more force Increase friction
