The three examples in which friction helps us or makes things easier in our daily life are :

(a) Friction helps us to walk. if there were no friction, we wouldn't be able to push earth backwards by our feet . Thus we will not get the reaction force from earth which is necessary for walking.

(b) Conveyor belts will not work if there is no friction. Friction provides a grip for the conveyor belts to transfer motion from one part of a machine to another.

(c) Cars, buses and all locomotives will not be able to stop once they are set in motion if the friction was absent. friction provides a braking forces for these vehicles to stop.

The end point of a spring oscillates with a period of 2.0 s when a block with mass m is attached to it. When this mass is increa

Nostrana [21]

Answer: The end point of a spring oscillates with a period of 2.0 s when a block with mass m is attached to it. When this mass is increased by 2.0 kg, the period is found to be 3.0 s. Then the mass m is 0.625kg.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the simple harmonic motion.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>

A particle is said to execute SHM, if it moves to and fro about the mean position under the action of restoring force.
We have the equation of time period of a SHM as,

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

Where, m is the mass of the body and k is the spring constant.

<h3>How to solve the problem?</h3>

Given that,

$T_1=2s\\m_1=m\\m_2=m+2kg\\T_2=3s$

We have to find the value of m,

$T_1=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\T_2=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m+2}{k} } \\\frac{T_1}{T_2} =\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+2} }\\\frac{2}{3} =\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+2} }\\\\$

$m=\frac{5}{8} =0.625kg$

Thus, we can conclude that, the mass m will be 0.625kg.

The Coriolis effect is the result of which of these?

Anarel [89]

The coriolis effect was discovered in the 19th century by Gaspard. C. Coriolis. It simply relates to anything that moves freely on the surface of the earth including apparent curvature global winds and ocean currents.
This curvature is mainly due to the rotation of the earth around its axis.

Answer:
<span>A.) The rotation of Earth on its axis</span>

A stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. What is the spe

lana [24]

Answer: V = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,

F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz

Using doppler effect formula

F = C/ ( C - V) × f

Where

F = observed frequency

f = source frequency

C = speed of light = 3×10^8

V = speed of the car

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10

2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)

1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)

Cross multiply

300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8

Collect the like terms

1.000000049V = 14.71429

Make V the subject of formula

V = 14.71429/1.000000049

V = 14.7 m/s

The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately
