What is the main reason people and bears slip and fall on ice, be careful when outside in the snow/ice.

Physics
1 answer:
Ket [755]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Both ice and snow have a lower coefficient of friction in comparison with grass, wood or pavement.

Explanation:

The main reason why people and bears, slip and fall on ice/snow is that both ice and snow have a lower coefficient of friction in comparison with grass, wood or pavement. We present below a comparative chart of coefficients of friction associated with different materials:

Material       Coefficient of Friction - Static                  

Ice/Snow                   0.05 - 0.3

Wood                          0.2 - 0.6

Asphalt                        0.5 - 0.7

Grass                            0.3 - 0.5

What happens to the average kinetic energy of water molecules as water freezes? It decreases as the water absorbs energy from it
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:the average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature . When water freezes, the temperature decreases and therefore, the average kinetic energy will also decreases as well.

a mass on a spring vibrates in simple harmonic motion at an amplitude of 8.0 cm. if the mass of the object is 0.20kg and the spr
Reil [10]

Answer:

4.06 Hz

Explanation:

For simple harmonic motion, frequency is given by

f=\frac {1}{2\pi}\times \sqrt{\frac {k}{m}} where k is spring constant and m is the mass of the object.

Substituting 0.2 Kg for mass and 130 N/m for k then

f=\frac {1}{2\pi}\times \sqrt{\frac {130}{0.2}}=4.057670803\\f\approx 4.06 Hz

A 45.0-N force pushes a cart 12.5 meters down a hallway. What is the work done on the cart?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

562.5J

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

F = 45N

d = 12.5m

w =?

The work done can be achieved by using

w = F x d

w = 45 x 12.5

w = 562.5J

A car accelerates from rest to 90m/s in 3 seconds. What is the acceleration and how far did it travel?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.)acceleration= final velocity-initial velocity/time

90m/s-0m/s /3seconds

=30m/s^2

2.) distance= speed*time

90m/s*3seconds

=270m

Give a flow chart of how the inlet and exhaust valve operate in the internal combustion engine of a tractor.
abruzzese [7]

Flow chart of a system is a diagrammatic representation of how that system performs it's functions.

<h3>The flow chart of internal combustion engine</h3>

The flow chart of internal combustion engine is the diagrammatic representation of how the engine works.

The inlet valve of the engine is the valve that allows for the entry of fuel-air mixture into the engine.

The exhaust valve of the engine is the allows for the outflow of used gases from the engine.

From the attached flow chart, Intake valves are opened to allow the flow of an air/fuel mixture into the engine's cylinders prior to compression and ignition, while exhaust valves open to permit the expulsion of exhaust gases from the combustion process after ignition has occurred.
