Describe the factors that cause static friction between two surfaces to increase.
maw [93]

Answer : The static friction depends on two factors

1. Roughness of the surface

2. Force

Explanation : Friction occur when surface is not smooth.

The formula of friction is

F= \mu mg

Static friction depends on the roughness of the surface and force which is trying to push to object along the surface.

Static friction is caused by the attraction between two surfaces that are in contact.  when the surface will rough and the object will heavier then the force will be larger.

A man pushes his lawnmower with a velocity of +0.75 m/s relative to the ground. A girl rides by on her bike with a velocity of +
SashulF [63]

Answer:

B. +5.75 m/s

Explanation:

When there are two bodies, a and b, whose velocities measured by a third observer (in this case, the ground) are V_a and V_b respectively, the relative velocity of B with respect to A is given by:

V_{ba}=V_b-V_a

Thus, the velocity of the girl relative to the lawnmower is:

V_{ba}=6.5\frac{m}{s}-0.75\frac{m}{s}\\V_{ba}=5.75\frac{m}{s}

At this rate, how long would it take for two continents 3500 kilometers apart to collide?
meriva

<span>Given:

3,500 kilometers

Find:</span>

 

Years for two continents to collide = ?

 

<span>Solution:

We know that </span>typical motions of one plate relative to another are 1 centimeter per year.

So first, we convert 3,500 km to cm.<span>
</span><span>

</span>

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

1 km = 100,000 cm

3,500 km x 100,000 = 350,000,000 cm

Since we know that 1 cm = 1 year, then that means 350,000,000 cm is equivalent to 350,000,000 years.

 

Therefore, it would take 350 million years for two continents that are 3500 kilometers apart to collide.

<span>
To add, </span>a phenomenon of the plate tectonics of Earth that occurs at convergent boundaries is called the continental collision.

Estimate the order of magnitude of the length, in
Scrat [10]
A) a mouse, to an order of magnitude = 0.1 m ( a tenth of a meter ) That would be a big mouse but the alternatives are 1 meter or one hundredth of a meter... so go with 1/10th 

<span>b) Easy = 1 meter </span>

<span>c) two choices 10m or 100 m . Go with 100 m </span>

<span>d) Stretch it out , trunk tip to tail tip - call it 10 m </span>

<span>e) Your choice 100 m or 1000 m..... These are estimates. So long as you are within one order of magnitude you can't really be given wrong. So I'd say 100m</span>

A trombone can produce pitches ranging from 85 Hz to 660 Hz approximately. When the trombone is producing a 562 Hz tone, what is
tester [92]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of wavelength, which warns that this is equivalent to the relationship between the speed of the air (in this case in through the air) and the frequency of that wave. The air is in standard conditions so we have the relation,

Frequency = f = 562Hz

Speed of sound in air = v = 331m/s

The definition of wavelength is,

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Here,

v = Velocity

f = Frequency

Replacing,

\lambda = \frac{331m/s}{562Hz}

\lambda = 0.589m

Therefore the wavelength of that tone in air at standard conditions is 0.589m
