The children at the local park think the slide is too slow. There is too much fiction. What could you do to decrease the amount
igor_vitrenko [27]
In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:

-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide.  The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.

-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.

-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.

-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes.  Make the slide like an air hockey table.

-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water.  The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.

-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide.  If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.

-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide.  Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.

If you lift the front wheel of a poorly maintained bicycle off the ground and then start it spinning at 0.69 rev/s , friction in
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

magnitude of the frictional torque is 0.11 Nm

Explanation:

Moment of inertia I = 0.33 kg⋅m2

Initial angular velocity w° = 0.69 rev/s = 2 x 3.142 x 0.69 = 4.34 rad/s

Final angular velocity w = 0 (since it stops)

Time t = 13 secs

Using w = w° + §t

Where § is angular acceleration

O = 4.34 + 13§

§ = -4.34/13 = -0.33 rad/s2

The negative sign implies it's a negative acceleration.

Frictional torque that brought it to rest must be equal to the original torque.

Torqu = I x §

T = 0.33 x 0.33 = 0.11 Nm

A charge 3q is at the origin, and a charge −2q is on the positive x axis at x=a. part a where on the x-axis would you place a th
Mila [183]

Answer:

x = a + \frac{a\sqrt2}{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}

Explanation:

Position of charge 3q is x = 0

position of charge -2q is x = a

so here we know that

when two charges are of opposite nature then the electric field will be zero on the line joining the two charges at the position near to smaller magnitude charge

So here the electric field will be zero if the field due to 3q is counterbalanced by field due to -2q

so here we can say

\frac{k(3q)}{(r+a)^2} + \frac{k(-2q)}{r^2} = 0

\frac{3}{(r + a)^2} = \frac{2}{r^2}

\frac{r+a}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}

1 + \frac{a}{r} =\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}

\frac{a}{r} = \frac{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}{\sqrt2}

so we will have

r = \frac{a\sqrt2}{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}

so the x coordinate of this position is given as

x = a + \frac{a\sqrt2}{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}
