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.

A 5.00 kg rock whose density is 4300 kg/m3 is suspended by a string such that half of the rock's volume is under water. You may
12345 [234]

Answer:

The tension on the string is  T  =  43.302 \ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the rock is m_r = 5.00 \ kg =  5000 \ g

       The density of the rock is \rho  =  4300 \ kg/m^3 =  4.3 g/dm^3

       

Generally the volume of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

          V    =  \frac{m_r}{\rho}

substituting values

        V    =  \frac{5000}{4.3}

       V    =  1162.7 \  dm^3

The volume of the rock immersed in water is

      V_w = \frac{V}{2}  

substituting values

     V_w = \frac{1162.7 }{2}

     V_w = 581.4 \ dm^3

mass of water been displaced by the this volume is

     m_w  = V_w     According to Archimedes principle

=>   m_w =  581.4 \ g

     m_w =  0.5814 \ kg

The weight of the water displace is  

      W _w =  m_w  * g

      W _w =  0.5814  * 9.8

      W _w = 5.698 \ N

The actual weight of the rock is  

      W_r  =  m_r * g

     W_r  =  5.0 *  9.8

     W_r  =  49.0 \ N

The tension on the string is

       T  = W_r - W_w

substituting values

       T  = 49.0 -  5.698

       T  =  43.302 \ N

A 47.2 kg girl is standing on a 177 kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat,
Softa [21]

Answer:

v_g,i = 1.208 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of girl; m_g = 47.2 kg

Mass of plank; m_p = 177 kg

Let the velocity of girl to ice be v_g,i

Let the velocity of plank to ice be v_p,i

Since the velocity of the girl is 1.53 m/s relative to the plank, then;

v_g,i + v_p,i = 1.53

From conservation of momentum;

m_g × v_g,i = m_p × v_p,i

Thus;

47.2(v_g,i) = 177(v_p,i)

Dividing both sides by 47.2 gives;

v_g,i = 3.75(v_p,i)

v_pi = (v_g,i)/3.75

Thus, from v_g,i + v_p,i = 1.53, we have;

v_g,i + ((v_g,i)/3.75) = 1.53

v_g,i(1 + 1/3.75) = 1.53

1.267v_g,i = 1.53

v_g,i = 1.53/1.267

v_g,i = 1.208 m/s

A person travels by car from one city to an-
Mademuasel [1]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

First, let's refer to the distance formula:

d=v*t, where d is distance, v is velocity or speed and t is time.

Now, let's find the distance covered by each individual speed that the car had:

<h3>1. Speed 1.</h3>

In order to use the formula, we need to convert minutes into hours since the speed is given in km/h.

21.1 min/60= 0.35 h.

Now, apply the distance formula.

d=(0.35h)*(86.8km/h)= 30.38 km.

<h3>2. Speed 2.</h3>

Convert minutes to hours again and do the same calculations.

10.6min/60=0.18h

d=(0.18h)*(106km/h)= 19.08 km.

<h3>3. Speed 3.</h3>

36.5min/60= 0.61h

d=(0.61h)*(30.9km/h)= 18.85 km.

<h3>4. Obtain the total distance.</h3>

The total distance must be given by the addition of all individual distances traveled by the car on each speed:

Total distance= 30.38 km + 19.08 km + 18.85 km= 68.31 km.
