1). Walking / Driving

If there were no static friction between the soles of your shoes and the ground, then you could move your feet back and forth but your body would never go anywhere.

Same for using tires to move a car, a bus, a bicycle or a motorcycle.

2). Sleeping

If there were no static friction between your jammies and the sheet, you would slide right off of the bed whenever there was the slightest breeze of air in the room.

What is the relationship between pho Thanh energy and the color of light

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Red photons have the least amount of energy

Explanation:

The relationship between the photon energy and the color of light is given by:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

E is the energy

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength (which determines the color of light)

As we see from the equation, energy and wavelength are inversely proportional: this means that the longer the wavelength, the lower the energy, and viceversa.

Among the colors in the visible light spectrum, red is the color with longest wavelength (620-750 nm) and violet is the color with shortest wavelength (380-450 nm). This means that red photons have the least amount of energy, while violet photons have the greatest amount of energy.

So the correct choice is

Red photons have the least amount of energy

A truck traveling at a constant speed of 28 m/s passes a more slowly moving car. The instant the truck passes the car, the car b

choli [55]

Answer:

the velocity of car when it passes the truck is u = 16.33 m/s

Explanation:

given,

constant speed of truck = 28 m/s

acceleration of car = 1.2 m/s²

passes the truck in 545 m

speed of the car when it just pass the truck = ?

time taken by the truck to travel 545 m

time = $\dfrac{distance}{speed}$

time = $\dfrac{545}{28}$

time =19.46 s

velocity of the car when it crosses the truck

$S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$545= u\times 19.46 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \times 19.46^2$

u = 16.33 m/s

the velocity of car when it passes the truck is u = 16.33 m/s

In comparison with other ocean basins, major sedimentary features such as continental rises and abyssal plains are relatively ra

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Why are continental rises and abyssal plains relatively rare in the Pacific? This is because the extensive system of trenches along the active margins of the Pacific, trap much of the sediments flowing off the continents, preventing them from building the broad, flat abyssal plains typical of the Atlantic ocean basins.
